Ahh, but Mapquest won't tell you where YOU are on that map. You can reroute your trip from where you currently are instead of only from origin to destination.

Hey, it's mainly just another toy. The Omegas came with a LCD for diagnostics and maps while we got extra gauges. Don't get me wrong, I like analog gauges. Just that this was a Cadillac for cryin' out loud. My old Taurus at least had a separate clock with date and elapsed timer. My Catera's clock is in the radio.

I think for the money Cadillac originally asked for them the Catera should have had a few more niceties. Like the clock I mentioned or a code scanner like the ScanGauge II for MPG info and Codes. With a car as electronically laden as this one we should have an easier way to decypher the codes than running to AutoZone.
