Alpine NVE-N099P is very quick and latest CPU in it. Used in conjunction with touch screen monitor or headunit it is very good.

i bought the ipaq / tomtom setup. very good for £299. it's also a pda so i can play games on the train on the way to work in the morning. plus i've added on all the gatso and mobile speed camera places (yes they have set sites that they are allowed to use). i've also added on all the shell and sainsbury garages for the 98 ron fuel.

Used to have a road angel supplying gps signal to an ipaq 2210 with TTN3 but now got a Tom Tom Go unit - a lot better and the next software update should make it as good for features as TTN3

Come on TomTom - get your finger out with the update...

There's now some new versions of TT Go with bluetooth etc - check out www.tomtom.com for info...

Get a free Satnav unit with every Spec B

Actually, my old TT3 was more intelligent than this Kenwood based unit.

The Sat Nav in the Legacy is the best I have come across. It is the only one I have found that will actually work using the Postcode. Our Land Rover Sat Nav doesn't and nor does the handheld one from Navman that I bought last summer.

The only issue I have is that the CD that came with the car is about 18 months out of date, even thought its an 05 car.

I've got the bluetooth TomTom Navigator with my phone (an O2 XDA II) - works really well.

Nearly as good as the Sat Nav system we used to have in the wife's Previa - it was the DVD based Toyota Navigation System. That worked with postcodes and telephone numbers (business ones) - not a bad little system.

I use my XDA II phone and bluetooth TomTom3 system. Love it to bits. Have loaded free GPS speed camera software as well. Best gadget ever.

Busy creating my own CARPC setup

Have a 1000 mhz Duron setup in the car with a 400 watt inverter
GPS Antenna (BU303) and Destinator3/MapMonkey.
Connected it to my Alpine Headunit.

It works but i am still awaiting delivery of a 7 inch monitor, as the 19 incher (that i tested with) isnt small enough to be fitted where i want it.

If i fit it now there isnt any room for a passenger

Id suggest going down the VIA Mini-ITX form factor route; 170mm x 170mm and it only generates a fraction of the heat / uses a fraction of the current that a Duron will. Youd be better advised to get a regulated 12v power supply too; inverters provide a dirty unregulated current.

XDA2, TT3, Bluetooth GPS is an excellent combination. Postcodes, cameras etc.

Garmin Streetpilot.
Take it from car to car and to bike also when out walking and sailing (draw track).
I like it, could do with improved postcode searching though.

That's excellent news, they've added the compass I've been bitching about.

Not going down the Via Route, its CarNAV/MP3 on a budget, and it already worked for 5 days, till i got fed up with a 19inch tft on the passenger seat.
