This thread is only to compare on board DVD GPS systems to BB Voice systems like Telenav or Wayfinder.

Some questions to ponder.

We all know that you need cell reception to get maps on the BB. But I think there are advantages to TN.

Maps are always up to date.
Traffic is provided - most DVD systems don't have that.
Entering locations on the DVD systems can be clumsy - first you have to find the street, and then the POI if its a hotel say. On some you cant directly enter the street number.

What else to people observe?
