In my opinion, once its broken in the bose system is really not bad if you aren't into heavy bass, and i'm thinking about not ripping it out for an aftermarket system. Its no small task to replace a factory bose, as you have to gut the entire system and start over as bose tends to hide little amps and EQs here and there, and said amps and EQs are designed to work with the crap-quality bose speakers and not normal speakers.

But that said i think aftermarket NAV systems can easily be found that are superior to the factory system in my truck.

All things considered, i'd vote skip the factory nav, and get a Garmin hand-held unit. Just a thought.
