still with the entitlement crap huh slapnuts? get over it
the rest of your post is typical bull****
im sure that if you happen to be in a place you dont know your keen sense of direction will help you. but wait, youd rather sit on the side of the road and read a map instead of push a button and have a map...and something that tells you where to go rather than fumbling with a map like the gigantic tool that you are
furthermore, what about if youre in a strange location and you need to find a gas station, restaurant, dealer, parking garage, etc etc etc. youre probably dumb enough to drive around all day looking for this stuff because you think youre such a badass '"roughing it"
what a joke

One of the many assets one naturally gains from being self-made and opposed to having things handed to you. The latter takes no skill.
You probably need nav. I don't

Porsches are not as exclusive as they once were at least in the US. Yes, great performance for the dollar. In Canada the 993 was a $100k car but that is another story. In 17 years lets see what a 993 and a Cayman are worth 
In regards to interiors, the 993 interiors have character much like the 356. The new cars seem to be lacking in that department. They are 4 times nicer than the early Boxster/996s but still.

Funny, I have no nav, and have never had any of those problems. I just grew up in a time where we were taught a larger set of skills than relying on a button to solve our problems and crying if that didn't work because we didn't know what to do. Most all these problems you mentioned above and easily avoided with a little prep and some smarts. Sorry, you can't buy those skills.

Nav is great when you need it. Fortunately, a $200 Garmin does the job. And you can take it with you when you travel. And when a new model comes out with features you can't live without, it's just $200 to upgrade.

), how do they otherwise make the 997 interior not simple?

I suspect I probably could have found another Chinese restaurant without the nav

Amazing, just a little prep and some smarts huh? Never been out and wanted to grab dinner in a town you weren't familiar with? This has never happened to you? Do you ever leave a 4 block radius from your house?
Not to mention, navigation can be used as a digital map...you don't need to use the navigation function. Btw, do you find yourself using a lot of encyclopedias these days?
The rest is your typical jealousy nonsense, so it really is a waste of my time to respond.
finally, the fact that you think its somehow impressive that you can read a map tells me a lot about your intellectual capabilities.

Of course nav can be very convenient, especially in those very specific situations you mention above. But built into the dash of a car, not really the ideal. The maps can get old and obsolete over time, their size can detract from the dash's styling/function, they distract from driving and you can get all that, and more, easily, from any iPhone, which can travel in a person's pocket, whereas a car cannot.
You follow me now? Or do you need your nav?

Even though the 996 dash is more modern than ours, the aspect of it that I totally dislike is what looks like a stuck-on instrument panel onto the dash cover and the stuck-on heating control onto the center console. The rest of the car looks great, smooth and simple.

I don't need no stinking nav. It wasn't till my Instructor cross country that I finally used a VOR for navigation as visibility was way down.
Got a GPS on my motorcycle for track logging and photo marking only; hardly ever use it for nav...heck, the dumb GPS doesn't know where the good motorcycling roads are.
