Any info on the new '06 system? Based on the '04 system, I'm thinking about
ordering the '05 without NAV. Any comments?

Personally, I'd never own another vehicle without a NAV system. Even my
motorcycles have one.
The only bug I find in the Prius unit is that the voice recognition doesn't
work all that well.
You say "Potato."
It says "Tomato." >:o(
Other than that, it's fine. It detours well, especially unfamiliar
neighborhood streets, and gets me to unknown destinations fine. The
addition of the NAV package allows for the no-hands cell phone too. Should
it become law (no hands on the cell), it will free you of a Bluetooth
headset and dialing since it's built into the display as well. Better
stereo too.
Besides, it makes the car geeky and serves to impress everyone around you.

I don't know anything about the '06 models having anything different
than previous ones, but as an owner of an '04 I have no idea why based
on that you wouldn't want to have it. Now, I haven't ever used a
navigation system in any other car, so I have nothing to compare it to,
but I use the one I have all the time and absolutely love it. On those
occasions when I'm driving a different car, I feel lost (literally)
without it.
