Ok, I'll start this by saying the 2011 Ex is the 4th car I've personally owned with a factory nav system. Currently have an 08 Acura RDX, previous ones were a 06 Acura TSX, and a 09 Mazda6. I've also driven regularly a 10 Infiniti FX35 that my parents own.
The Ex is the first one that I've ever used that will actually lose my position if I drive under a tree. It was so bad on my way home today that for about 10 miles, the car had no idea where I was, and had me driving in the middle of the woods 100's of yards from where I actually was.
Now, my $200 cell phone can track me to within 12 feet of my location, why can't a $47,000 car?
Needless to say I'm very disappointed in the nav system so far. If I was actually looking for an address, I never would have found it.
This car has a lot of new tech in it, and most of it works very well. But SatNavs have been around for a long time, it should work flawlessly 99.9% of the time.
