i also cannot figure out how to turn the navigation system off after you have used it during a trip. sometimes i use to check something and then i just want to shut it off to get the time display.</font>
Press Setup and then press Display Off. From there you can press Shutdown or leave the time displayed.
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">if you set up personal addresses, i think you have no choice but to use a password. in a way i don't mind because i have my home address in there in case i get lost on my way home i can just select home and have it guide me. if my car gets stolen i rather not have the thieves know how to get to my house so the password is not so bad.</font>
I think you missed my point. Imagine you have selected your house and are letting it guide you home. Before arriving home, you decide to stop at the nearest house of ill-repute. (I haven't actually checked - is there a category for this under Advanced?) You go there only to find it is closed. So you tell the NAV to guide you home.
Now in this little scenario, you have selected three locations from your personal list. And in each case, you have to enter your password - even though you haven't even left the car or turned off the engine! I don't buy the idea of worry about thievery unless you are worried about a thief actually hauling you out of your car while it's running. That's the only plausible scenario where it makes sense to require a person to reenter their password so much.
By the way, if you don't want to give away your home, just don't call it "Home". In my list, I called my house "Don's House" and I have a bunch of relatives/friend's houses too ("Sam's House", etc.) so it's not obvious which one is my home. I didn't do it that way for the reason you state. I just figured that if I ever let a relative/friend drive my car, it would be less confusing for them if they saw "Don's House" rather than "Home".
