Hey all

Got some spare cash atm and was thinking of getting a Sat Nav for the car. I did a search and found out that there are several brands out there each with different functionalities. I wanted to know if anyone here has purchased a sat nav system and if they could post their
comments and feedbacks about them.
Basically I'm looking for one that has speed cameras and turn by turn instruction and user friendly. I would also like one that can be fitted in the centre console just under the stereo. Would prefer the setup colgate has . Pics below.

All comments about centre console installation are welcome

Nokia symbian platform with GPS receiver ftw...

Also comes with a phone ;)

I bought a Navman ICN530 the other day, used it in sydney the other day and Im never going back!

Not an in-dash one though, but very nice for $620.

You need to chat with Ringa///Art - he has just recently installed an Eclipse AVN6000, it is DVD and sat in one - one bloody awesome system - apparantly, there is no other sat nav in aus that even comes close to this unit

When i meant i had money i didn't really mean $3500!!!. $1000 is more like it


But that AVN6000 is awesome

Anyone else has some info about sat navs

yeah i use my laptop with a program called co pilot 8, i just plug the laptop up to my fold out screen, been using it for 6 months or so and find it good

Whoa Colgate! Somebody's noticed ur work!! hehe

why don't u get a PDA with a GPS thingy on the top of it? Get it off ebay for a coupla hundred bucks.

I still stand by nokia symbians... Load up all the maps in australia in your pocket, and its not restricted to ur car either. You can use it anywhere.

Recalculates directions, shows you maps, gives voice instructions.

MIO c510 $799 , Using one at the moment. Awsome and not just because we are the distributor for them. easy interface nice design and its a bluetooth hands free kit. IF you don't need the Bluetooth then a C310 at $599

2nd hand HP 2200 pda: $100
4GB Kingston SD card: $260 (a bit overboard as TomTom only requires 512MB card. bought
the card for my camera but found out it can only take max of 1GB)
BT-77 bluetooth GPS receiver: $70.00 (off ebay, inc delivery and insurance)
TomTom v5.0 off torrent portal: free
Total: $430.00 (2GB SD cards are going for $60 nowadays so the above could be had for
$230.00)
Haven't lost me yet.

yeah, you cant go wrong with the avn6000.. isnt exactly cheap but its well worth the money..

dude you live in victoria... a melway is $40 and using that you will be able to navigate far better than any sat nav there is... and with the $2000 change... well...

if you drive interstate a lot possably worth it, as for cameras etc... look up the locations online..

i dont like gps/satnav, when it works in the bush and in tunnels and inside maybe... and yeah i used to have a top of the line magellan unit... sold it now though..
