My car (00 9-5 Aero) only came with 3 free months of premium service but that did give me some time to try it out. On 3 uses for directions, I only had one really successful use, one of marginal value and another that sent to in the wrong direction. Actually, that one was funny and started me on a conspiracy theory...
Me: Could you give me directions to Borton Volvo in Minneapolis?
On*: um... <pause> Sir, I show that you are driving a Saab 9-5.
Me: Yes I am.
On*: Would you like the nearest Saab dealer?
Me: No, Borton Volvo in Minneapolis.
On*: Are you certain you mean Volvo?
Me: Yes, that's B-O-R-T-O-N Volvo in Minneapolis
On*: Ok...<tracking, etc>... Ok, go to Lyndale and go north ~1.5 miles.
Me: Thank you.
By the way, Borton Volvo was about 2-3 miles to the SOUTH!!!
Anyway, I carry the safety and security package on mine because the anti-theft/tracking values nearly offsets the monthly charge of $17-18.
