OnStar's navigation is audio-only while Ford's navigation is visual/audio and touchscreen. SYNC is not an option in the Mustang, it comes standard in all of them.
The Camaro's Onstar Nav, is also Visual, You get the directions displayed either in the radio display or in the DIC, or even both if you select it...
But I have to agree that Onstar directions lacks alot to be desired, it is not good enough to keep it after the free period is up..
One question, How do you update the maps on the Fords Nav system? does it cost to do that?
