It looks like the new Navi will follow the current-generation Civic scheme with a touch-screen map on the lower screen, and turn-by-turn guidance on the top screen. Nice.

the NAVI is exactly the same as of the New HONDA pilot!
I was hoping/wondering that HONDA would make the accords NAVI top of the line with new feathers and a different display rather than innovating the Pilots!

I would say you are correct - this is just i-MID screen with radio/trip computer info.

Factory nav needs to go away at a $2000 price point. You get very little of that extra purchase price to add nav back at resale time.
The car manufactures bundle other more useful features like bluetooth and rear-view cameras in to packages that require you to get nav, but that's starting to change as those are now expected features.
More and more smartphones have either included or extra cost nav apps with voice control that give better directions than you get from a $200-300 DVD yearly map update.
All they need to go is design the dashboards to have a convenient universal mounting and charging spot for a phone or a Garmin Nuvi and bluetooth audio streaming so you don't have to connect an aux cable.

Can those smart phones you are talking about change the passenger side temp. increase the fan speed, find the nearest Japanese restaurant, call your friend, get you out of a bad neighborhood in a pinch at the touch of one button and the verbal use of 2 words in a matter of 2 seconds..........???
NO!........There is an advantage of having a factory Navi system in the car vs a smart phone. PLUS, the ladies LOVE IT!...........it looks like a space ship........... ;-D

Like you Honda AFVM, I'm in these cars all day everyday. Yeah, there's a benefit (or two) to the factory navigation systems; and, I often point those benefits out to the customer. However, aside from the ability to change radio stations and adjust climate control settings, my iPhone (using iOS6) can find restaurants and I can input voice commands simply by using my voice. Most Android phones have had this ability for a long time. It's even more impressive (and convenient) that I don't have to input each individual portion of a destination (address) one at a time (I can simply say "take me to '1 Nice Pl, Anytown, USA' and I'm off).
The voice commands in Honda/Acura products are perhaps the most robust in the automotive industry, but aside from being able to 'show off' to passengers unfamiliar with the technology, it's somewhat excessive (just my opinion). I can just as easily reach over to change the temperature or adjust the radio in the amount of time it takes the system to compute my voice commands, repeat that command to me, and make the change.
The one major benefit, I suppose, the navigation system has (at least the new HDD systems found in the Odyssey and Pilot), is its song-by-voice feature. With these major automakers agreeing to implement a siri-activation button for Apple's "Eyes Free", even that benefit may lose some of its luster and exclusivity.
If the navi equipped cars didn't require a $2000 premium, its benefits would be more 'welcomed'.
I do enjoy using the voice command features to show off to clients though :-D
PS - that silly girl in the Ford commercial who exclaims her Accord never understands her (voice commands) must be a retard. It is the easiest navigation system (including voice commands) that I have ever used.

I too am a big fan of factory NAVI for lots of reasons. And after having extensive experience with Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Garmin, and Tom Tom in my world . . . the Honda system is the best. Not only for it's NAVI features but how it integrates with the car's other systems. Hopefully Honda does not start to limit system access when the car is in motion.
However, as a $2,200 option? No way. I'd sacrifice functionality for a significant price reduction. Honda needs to reevaluate the price.
The new Altima has a $1,090 (one thousand and ninety) technology package that includes NAVI (with Google POIs, Google Send To Car, Traffic, and Weather), Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Collision Detection. For outright value and functionality, my $250 Garmin is awesome.

Chrysler gets this one right. On the Town & Country they have a $795 package that includes a built in Garmin system including a one year subscription to traffic updates. The audio connectivity and amp power is also upgraded as part of that package. Honda and others are going to have to face that $2000+ is a rip off, and people don't like being ripped off.
There is nothing special about an XM radio in a Chrysler either - they all have it - including a 1 year free subscription. That's how it should be.

??? 2 seconds? Haha!! Lots of lag with commands. Not much faster if any than good smartphone with voice recognition. iPhone 5 with Apple Navigation with Siri. Google Nav and multiple third party turn by turn apps.
Increase fan speed by voice? DUMB!! Faster to press a button or turn a knob. You have to press a button anyway to use the voice commands.
Factory nav will look really out of date before the car's life is used up.
You can have a touch screen in the car without a nav system.
There are nice things about it, but $2000 is a rip off for what you get. Plus the the cost of $300 DVD updates or you will get routed a Japanese restaurant that closed 18 mos ago. Technology changes and the built in nav's features, hardware and graphics will look so out of date in a few years. That's why the value of it doesn't go far towards greater resale value after a few years.

Chrysler's screen is smaller and the resolution is poor...........I will take the factory navi any day........WTH is a $1,000 extra when you are spending 30+K..........Now, if they could figure a way to transmit the phone Navi into the 8 inch screen and all the other phone functions, then you have a WHOLE different ball game.......I would be 100% for that......

You can see that this is the LX or LX-P trim. You can tell by the wheels. It will still have that big screen, is basically going to be in all the accord.

You can't read too much into these prototypes. They can easily put random wheels on that don't match what goes into production.

Found this regarding a supposed update to Honda's existing infotainment systems. Would be interesting to see what surfaces about it in the next few weeks.

If there is a big price cut and it offers similar functionality as GoogleNav or Apples upcoming nav so you can just say a complete address with number, street and city in one prompt and state specific POIs by name by voice instead of having no choice but to browse for them by limited categories, then I would want it. Otherwise it seems way overpriced for what you get and I would much rather use a smartphone for directions.

Guys, you're missing the point here. The real issue with this picture is the radio station: Celine Dion Radio.
