I echo the setniment of a separate unit. I have a Tom Tom, and it works
great. Plus I truly just use it when I need it, it's not there wasting space
thw whole time, and it will not be wasted money once I get a new car.
Build-in satnav is totally overpriced in new cars. And the build-in systems
are not as good as the separate units, which need to stay ahead of the curve
to be appealing. I know people who have built-in satnav and use a separate,
newer (and cheaper!) unit because it's far superior.
Incidentally, I still use maps. There are things a satnav can't do. They are
destination, and not *journey* oriented. For fun weekend motorcycles rides
maps and word of mouth still rule supreme.
