Has anyone in Australia had any luck installing a decent sat nav system, and if so, would anyone care to share some photos of what and where it has been installed?

 

i use Navman 4410 with O2 Xda2 (pocketPC) setup..
basically 4410 is a GPS bluetooth transmitter.. xda2 picks up data from 4410 by bluetooth so no too many massy wires..
it's one way of installing a cheap version of sat nav although it take a while to get used to it. u can also get something like navman ICN430? for about $2000.. this u can transfer between cars and uses suction mount..

 

I recommend the New Navman PDA Sat Nav it has Intergrated GPS antenna on it. And cheap too. It has a nice 3D graph map.

 

Photos in car? Do I need seperate power supply for GPS unit and PDA?

 

I recommend the navman 630 as it has a bigger screen and i have one

 

the PDA just use your Ciggie lighter power. Ther reason i recommend you the PDA style, if only you don't have a PDA and u can even use it while you are walking on the street as well.

Cheers

 

I'm not much of a fan of PDA's and I want a slick installation, no cords hanging out into cigarette lighters, what is the alternative solution?

 

get an R-magic 1-din panel, Get a In dash TV, Get either Clarion Sat nav or VDO Dayton Sat nav.

So far, that's the only i can think for what u describe.

cheers
