Default Semi-amusing Version 2 Nav glitch

If you specify Los Gatos, CA (a northern California town near San Jose) in the nav system of an '05 with a Version 2 DVD, the system will direct you to Los Altos, a town about 20 miles away. Testing out my hypothesis that Germans don't speak Spanish all that well, I then specified Los Altos and the system directed me to Los Gatos. At least it didn't send me to Los Angeles. In a hurry to get to Los Gatos, I called my excellent sales rep, Otis Griffen at Rector Porsche Audi who did a quick Mapquest search and sent me to my desired destination.

Could've been worse; it might have sent you to Los Alamos!

Default Blame NavTech for that snafu, I would call them out on it!

Or you can report it to them via the web! (follow the link to do that)<ul><li><a href="http://update.navteq.com/english_df.asp?env=na&amp;submit=Submit">http://update.navteq.com/english_df.asp?env=na&amp;submit=Submit</a</li></ul>
