Hi does the Micra have an optional package that come with navigation? I know the Versa SL does. I am looking to purchase one of these cars but I would like navigation.

As far as I know, GPS is not one of the options included on the Micra.
You can order a K13 March (aka the Micra in some other markets) compatible in-dash DVD Player/GPS unit from eBay. It'd probably be electronically compatible with our version of the Micra. You would have to contact the seller and see if they or you can load up North American GPS maps; without that, you're just getting a CD/DVD player.
Member nintu works for a Nissan dealership, and may be able to tell you if a dealership can install an after-market in-dash unit for you, and what, if any, parts of the warranty an aftermarket in-dash unit will void.
You may be able to find a compatible in-dash GPS unit locally. I would recommend that if you can't get the work done at a dealership, that you go to a place that deals exclusively with car audio and alarms when looking to get the work done; the install staff at broader electronic shop like Best Buy, Future Shop, or Visions may not have the necessary experience to work with a completely unknown vehicle.
Or you could not worry about any of that, and pick up an in-car, out of dash GPS unit you mount on your windshield or stick on top of the dash

AliExpress also has this Android 4.0 in-dash unit; you'll have to buy/acquire Android GPS software for it, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Still a lot cheaper and simpler to by a windshield/on dash GPS.
Many people have switched to their smartphone for navigation, installing software that outperforms any in-dash system. Software like Waze:

In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

You cannot get factory in dash navigation for the micra. I am going to use either my tablet or a garmin nuvi unit. I have a GPS receiver that communitcates with my tablet via Bluetooth as well as an obd 2 Bluetooth recviever. I can monitor anything in the car with that using the tablet and the app called torque.
You can get a multi-direction automotive tablet stand from Bianca Amor's Liqudiation Supercentre, should there be one in your location, and assuming they have it in stock.
Costco has something similar for more money.
Yeah I use my Samsung Galaxy with Google Maps. I don't think there's anything better to be honest. It works great.
In Europe navigation is standard on the Connect Edition and the Tekna Edition. Why navigation overhere and not in Canada, no idea...
I've red that somewhere. Here's the quote:
