How does the navigation work?

[DBrandy]

I have a crazy question what runs the navigation/ By that I mean how does it work. I am having an extremely difficult time with Sirus radio. Does the navigation need Sirus radio to operate properly? What I am thinking is doing away with the Sirus radio and just use the FM channels and my iphone for my music. I am totally feed up with Sirus radio. Will the navigation work properly this way?

Sirius is just satellite radio, it has no impact on NAV. NAV works based on maps and GPS coordinates relayed to/from satellite. While they both use a satellite, they are independent of each other.

I let Sirius expire and just use Pandora through Sync.

Sirius updates, gas prices, movies, and crap like that.. Navigation will work without sirius..

Thanks I greatly appreciate the information. I'm going to tell Sirus radio goodbye.

I love my nav system. I have everything linked through sirius but dont really think its worth the cost. I can check the weather on my phone faster and easier, and gas prices dont matter. You gotta pay it no matter what.
