Actually, the faceplate/wiring harness are from a Volkswagen, for some oddball reason, the electronic items in/around the dash/radio are GERMAN. Aussie car, sold in America with American name...German dash kit, and wiring...yeah, very logical GM, ya bunch of waterheads.
I have the same system you have, only instead of navigation (which I'd never use anyway, since I'm a male and I have an excellent sense of direction), I got the performance computer (AVIC), which is incredibly cool. It shows me estimated horsepower, G-Forces, speed, direction of travel, along with a whole host of other things. It does also allow me to store waypoints/locations. The stock GTO pulls .98G when accelerating at full speed, and can bring you to a stop at nearly 2Gs (1.85). I haven't really taken many hard curves, and I've come nowhere near the limit of the GTO's suspension, yet I'm still up to around .83Gs for left turns and .85Gs for right. My goal is to get all those numbers above 1.0G.
