One reason to get the factory navigation system vs aftermarket
A coworker just forwarded me this and I thought it was post worthy. I have no way to verify this is true but the person that sent it to me has quite a few friends and family members in law enforcement. Seeing as I just bought an aftermarket Nav (Nuvi) I'm somewhat concerned about its ability to implicate me for speeding etc since there is no court order needed to access the data contained within it. The same cannot be said for factory installed Nav systems. A court order is still required to access data contained on them.

V.C. Section 9951 is in the California Vehicle Code and it only applies to manufacturer installed systems. Court Order still required.

Here on the East Coast, EZPass has been used to prove speeding and infidelity by cheating spouces.

Most, if not all, of the items listed, are NOT stored (or even sensed) in either onboard or aftermarket GPS Navigation devices. They MIGHT be stored by the vehicle systems that are present with or without a Navigation system. (The Onstar might be an exception, but I doubt it.)
Some GPS devices will store a log of track points of where you've been but that is done optionally and is not normal in automotive navigation systems. In any case, the track log would be of very limited value for Vehicle Code enforcement. |
