I am not sure exactly how much the nav system in the 2004 H2 will be but thought I should share my recent experience with my Garmin Street Pilot III. I spent $800.00 and got the city guide cd with it. I have used it extensively on-road in L.A. and it has been flawless. I used it off-road with Steve and it was perfect. Before I left for vacation I loaded Boston and much of Mass. on to my chip so when we got our rental car I just plugged in the address and it got us there (2.5 hour drive) without a hitch. Here is the amazing part: although this was a city guide it captured all of the waterways where I was fishing as well so we took it on the bass boat and had it leave a bread crumb as we drove out of the channel. Every time we hooked up we set a mark (waypoint) and marked the type of fish we caught as the name of the waypoint. With this all we had to do was turn and keep hitting the holes. We hooked up on almost every pass! We also were attacked by very thick fog and could not see the buoys on the way back nor could we see land (if you don't like the weather on the cape just wait a minute), all we had to do was follow our bread crumb back.
So, this is my Garmin ad. If you don't plan on needing navigation outside of your vehicle and the price is right go for that unit, otherwise check out Garmin. BTW, the house we were staying in was completed in May of this year. I have no idea how it took us to this address being so new but it did.
