Groan. Remember the $350,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of a Walmart<\/a>? Apparently it’s not an isolated case. That’s right, according to a new survey by TeleNav, most Americans use their navigation systems to find the Arkansas-based mega-store full of cheap stuff that Sam built. The great burning irony, of course, is that most cars with navigation systems are “luxury” products. Though of course that’s changing, as navigation systems are making their way into lower strata vehicles and portable units and smart phones offer full GPS at much lower prices.<\/p>\n

After Walmart, us Americans are searching for Starbucks, Target, Best Buy and Bank of America, respectively. Full disclosure time. Have we ever used a nav system to find a Walmart? Yeah, once, but we were in Louisiana and in need of spray paint (don’t ask). We’ll sleep okay tonight. We do, however, wonder how many two-gallon pickle jars would fit inside an Audi Q7<\/a>. <\/p>\n
