    Alright, so there's a calendar and you can write notes and reminders. So what? I'm not going to program birthdays, anniversaries, maintenance reminders and other things. I have a PDA and Outlook for people-specific occasions and my "Passport to Maintenance" for scheduled maintenance.

    So I'm asking everyone here:
    "Do you use this feature?"
    "What do you use this feature for?"

    I'm completely open-minded here. Please, someone convince me that I'm overlooking a valuable feature.

    I might use it more, if the reminders wouldn't require 'activating' the NAV every time you started the car.

    I have the oil change interval set, but that is all.

    I use it for maintenance, to some degree, but I do throw in some other fairly important dates, but mainly because I have no other such programs anywhere (at least that I've bothered to deal with). It seems to me that it's a decently useful medium for a memo function, since many people do start their day in their car. I don't, however, being a college student with a two-minute walk to my classes, but I'm in my car a relatively large amount, giving the circumstances, and it's thus a pretty useful thing for me.

    You only get this if you have the Nav system. Do you have the Nav system?
