Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2006Navigation system

I > think I can even find the thread if I have to...<VBG> That would have been me. But this is for Sue. To keep her awake and alert. What brought this about was our last trip home. 18 hours after leaving FL 10pm we are on the Jersey Pike /I95 moving with the traffic flow at 75mph no cop's, cb is silent, no problem. Anyway she's watching for the garden state parkway exit off of the little bear left that the pike does. Or so I thought, anyway we come to a halt, the cb is screaming accident , soccor game got out, 20 mile back up. I look at her, sound asleep! WTF!! I start looking around and know I'm f.cked I'm on I95 about 10 miles from the friggin George Washington Bridge!! The last place on earth ya want to be late Sat. night. 2 hours later we cross the bridge and head for Conn. It really sucked. So admitting I'm a little older, I'm not going through that BS again. So, the nav system. I want ya to notice I did the manly thing and blamed it all on Sue.<G> >Other than that, I've only play with the oem so I can't help you there. Does the machine have a nav system?? Roy > Denny Personally, I prefer the low buck, low tech navigation system established before the time of the Romans. A map.

I've only found 1 maybe 2 places it was wrong about (new neighborhoods, said turn left when there was no left yet) I have been very pleased. my father in law also uses a TomTom GO 300 similar touch screen interface, similar audio and visual directions, the GO300 seems to me to be a little less accurate, its directed me wrong in his truck more than a time or two, but it does show know gas stations along your route when you have to tell the Garmin to find you one (who really needs this feature anyways, we all have working eyes right? or we wouldn't be driving!) both are good units, if you want Canadian maps already loaded in the maps with the TomTom I think you need the more expensive 700, if I recall correctly the c330 already has at least parts of Canada loaded but could be wrong because that wasn't a high priority feature for me, because of the part of the country I live in. hope that answers your question Signature---------------------------- -Chris 05 CTD 06 Liberty CRD Real Trucks don't NEED spark plugs. >> Been thinking about one that can be moved from car to truck easily. >> Anybody have any thoughts or opinions based on actual experience? tia [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > hope that answers your question Chris, thanks for the info.

I don't care too much for portable units, suction cups, cigarette adapter cables etc. I prefer the indash factory look. The REC unit works great. The only problem is it locks out many functions while vehicle is in motion. It would be nice if the passenger could be busy looking up routes etc. Many aftermarket Nav units behave the same way. >> Been thinking about one that can be moved from car to truck easily. >> Anybody have any thoughts or opinions based on actual experience? tia > > More costly but I opted for the Mopar REC Nav stereo.

Signature---------------------------- -Chris 05 CTD 06 Liberty CRD Real Trucks don't NEED spark plugs. > you can turn those safety features off in the c330 I don't know about the > others. There is no way to disable the in-motion lockout on the REC unit without internal modifications or a firmware hack. I have seen kits available for many aftermarket GPS car systems. Just about all your aftermarket Nav (non portable) based units are going to the extreme (as I see it) with tying a lot of your functionality to the GPS system (if equipped with one). On some units, you can still disable the shut down feature if you know how too, but it is going to void the warranty. >>> Been thinking about one that can be moved from car to truck easily. >>> Anybody have any thoughts or opinions based on actual experience? tia [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > you can turn those safety features off in the c330 I don't know about the > others. > On some units, you can still disable the shut > down feature if you know how too, but it is going to void the warranty. Wish I could disable the in-motion lock out on the REC Nav unit. Only way I see it is with a firmware hack and so far nobody has done it. Unfortunately miles, you are correct. Just about every "factory" installed unit is like that. That is the biggest reason I will never have a "factory" unit, I would rather void my warranty. >> On some units, you can still disable the shut down feature if you know >> how too, but it is going to void the warranty. > > Wish I could disable the in-motion lock out on the REC Nav unit.

I don't care too > much for portable units, suction cups, cigarette adapter cables etc. I > prefer the indash factory look. The REC unit works great. I agree with miles, the factory nav unit is much preferred to a bunch of wires and mounting brackets. However, one warning: (I could be an isolated case), one year after I bought my truck, the factory nav unit became very unreliable. 20% of the time it wouldn't read the disc ... and slowly it progressed to 100% of the time. The dealer swore up and down that it was the disc itself. However, he could not explain why it worked fine in other vehicles with the same unit. They finally decided to replace the unit under warranty. It has been perfect ever since ... with the original disc. Craig C. >Been thinking about one that can be moved from car to truck easily. Anybody >have any thoughts or opinions based on actual experience? tia > >Roy If you have a laptop, or are planing on one for the 2 house/commute thing, the 2 programs that I like are the Delorme atlas and Micro$oft street & trips.. Both are under $150 with software and a receiver you lay on the dash and we use them all the time.. When you're alone, you can use a headset or mic and speakers to have it guide you, but what we like about it is that it gives the passenger something to do.. Really handy to not only have GPS and maps and be able to search for gas/food/truck stops, etc. but to have the laptop for internet and stuff... even solitaire, if ya get really bored.. *lol* I have the software installed on all of our computers because it's just a fast and easy map program and prints well.. I like it a lot better than any online maps that I've tried.. The other advantage, not that a youngster like you needs it, is that instead of trying to read a 4" screen on a portable, the laptop screen is like 12" and in color..

I think.. Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm Roy, As some one that has sold and used a variety of these systems, I can say with confidence that you can not go wrong with the Garmin, Tom Tom or the I-way units. Biggest thing that I would recommend is that you look at all the features they have and get what you need, not buy one because some Joe Blow says it's the best. Or, as mac does, there is nothing wrong with the laptop idea.

Larry, what I'm looking for is something that is easy to operate upgradable without a lot of bs and will get me from FL to the rabbit house with out droping me at Holes house on the way. Oh, as mac said one with a big screen. > Or, as mac does, there is nothing wrong with the laptop idea. Sue made one comment. I sorta see another corvette in the future and she say's she isn't holding a lap top, say's they get hot and she wants to read a book too and not hold onto the thing. Of course I liked the lap top idea, with one eye, I want the biggest screen I can get. Seriously traveling alone asIi will most of the time I guess I want something that I don't have to unpack to read. How much do they go for? The Garmin or the like? Roy > Larry > >> Been thinking about one that can be moved from car to truck easily. >> Anybody have any thoughts or opinions based on actual experience? tia >> >> Roy > I can get. Seriously traveling alone asIi will most of the time I guess I > want something that I don't have to unpack to read. > How much do they go for? The Garmin or the like? You don't read a nav system as much as listen to it. I have a factory nav system in my truck, and although I look at it from time to time, mostly I just listen to the audio queues ("In 1/2 mile, take the exit for two eighty-seven south"). Given that, plus the fact that most of them change from the moving map display to large, iconic visual queues (such as a 90° left arrow, a 45° right arrow, etc.), screen size really isn't that important. >> I can get.

Anybody > have any thoughts or opinions based on actual experience? tia > > Roy I had purchased a Dell handheld PC (Axim X51) for use on trips to check websites, monitor appointments, check email, and play music (MP3 files). After I got it, I decided to add a GPS navigation kit from Dell (cost another $160 and included the navigation software, suction cup holder, GPS receiver, 12V charger and all connections). I found that the navigation system works pretty good, although since the Dell works on Microsoft software, it occassionally locks up and I have to reboot it. You can set the destination using your address book, saved favorites, address searches, recent destinations, and points of interest. You set the types of roads you want to use (fastest, toll, interstate, local) and what type of display you want. It has adjustable volume, but you can also run it through your car speakers (I play the music from the Dell on my speakers and the directions override the music when it's time to turn). The only thing I don't like is that I got the lower cost version of the Dell X51, and the screen isn't as bright in daylight as the more expensive X51V, but it's certainly usable. If you want a device that can provide multiple uses, consider one of the handheld PCs with a GPS NAV system added. Looks like Dell is having a sale on the X51 right now, and with the GPS system added the cost is $478.
