Yup!

Japanese are very good with electronics (although they seem to copy a lot of them and just make them better).

Why dont european cars just use the navs the japanese uses...they're outsource anyway...no?

that's because they are years ahead of their competition.. plus they treat the Nav development like "gaming" software, which is the correct way to develop this kind of software...
