Navigation Units...Anyone? Help...Please. - Land Rovers Only

jkcoda007 · 01-12-2006, 10:38 AM

I need a navigation unit for use with my business. I am constantly traveling and the use of a GPS is priceless.

Is anyone interested in selling a Navigation Unit for a DISCO II? I will supply stock unit.

Does anyone know where to get Nav. units less than dealer prices?

Thanks.

I'd say go with an aftermarket solution.. either something like a Garmin all-in-one device, a palm pilot/pocketpc with GPS, or a different head unit with GPS built it. It'll be cheaper and the quality of the maps/directions will be A LOT better.

The factory NAVs are quite good though- sometimes not having maps is easier because the maps are distracting. The best solution in my opinion is a Garmin Streetpilot, but if you WANT a factory NAV I've got a couple of them I'd consider parting with. One was never installed and one was used for 6 months.

NICE!

Please email me with any details. jkcoda007@comcast.net

Thanks,

I am a big fan of factory nav units because I like the factory look on the interior of the vehicle. Exterior is a totally different story...but interior I like factory. I have an Audi Allroad and love the factory Nav. alot better than the top of the line Alpine one I had custom installed in a 350Z before.

Thanks for all your help guys and being so helpful with a newbie to this website.

i just got that new Garimin its so nice and easy. and it has a battery so you can take it out and use it anywhere. also when the cars off it will stay on the battery which is nice. but man its easy, saves the address and its just sweet, you can even set it to British Accent, like your LR is speaking from the mother country.

Im going all out with an older (P3) laptop and Topo software....I will also have to buy a GPS unit though, but it will be worth it!

Yeah, I have a crappy P4 laptop I use for GPS.

Go to Best Buy and get portable GPS gizmo, it'll do the same job for a fraction of the cost.
