I have it, but I like my portable Garmin too. I like to use my Garmin for my destination and then just have the navigation map to see the big picture, so to speak. The portable one is nice because I can program routes in a restaurant, hotel or home- and don't have to be sitting in the vehicle programming routes and addresses.

I have a factory SatNav system, and it's really cool. The only drawback is that it's only as good as the disc it has to operate by, which means every few years, you have to get an updated disc to reflect newly constructed roads, new points of interest, even addresses that might not have been created when your current disc was published. And those update discs don't come cheap.
