| Posted by Smashie Looking for a new Sat Nav Hi all. I currently have a very old TomTom Go (2004) and a Garmin 3790T. The 3790T is frankly terrible, having had issues with rebooting mid guidance. I am now looking for a new sat nav as the one built into the car (2006 BMW) is out of date and not up to the task. What would you guys recommend? Requirements: 5" screen Full European maps Ability to plan routes off device and load them in. Cost: Not too bothered as the TTG cost a fortune in 2004 and the 3790 was not cheap either Thanks. |
| Posted by skihunter What Unit? If you have a Double DIN space you can get an Android HU and can mirror your phone NAV onto a nice 7" screen. Most of the units I have seen use iGO maps onboard. Wish they would use the Garmin software. Steering wheel controls and amplifiers can get messy if you have an optical factory install. I did this on my 04' SL500 following a theft recovery and am very happy with the install and the cost savings over the factory command HU. Certainly the traffic and satellite radio are way better - Bluetooth alone makes it worthwhile! |
