PCM Sat Nav - why bother to order on a new Porsche?

PCM2 is rubbish, much better with a decent phone holder and Waze or Google Maps. Even if it was PCM3 I still wouldn't bother as it's antique.

PCM is a beard-scratcher/OPC profit margin option these days. Waze and a kenu mount and black charger cable (to keep the cable discreet) is the way forward.

I have a truckers Tom Tom which I update weekly and pay for live traffic.

It's not perfect, but when there's something better I can ditch it and use the something better ...

Integration is a great benefit.

I have 2006 Cayman, old school PCM but with latest maps.

Yes it can't do half of what I have in my phone but it's always there, has dashboard display and has directed me around Europe without issue.

No wires, no cradles, no remembering to switch to the right app, no waiting for GPS fix and speedometer feed to keep it working in tunnels.

Still wouldn't buy a car without it.

PCM1 in my 996 directed me across country from Bristol to Weymouth yesterday.
The retro B&W 2D arrows reminded me of playing Tennis on my first games console many many years ago, but it got me to my destination without any fuss.

Same here, didn't spec it in my Spyder. Used my parents' Macan recently and didn't even think of using its PCM, Google Maps or Waze are brilliant.
