| 873483 | 2010-04-06 08:29:00 | Would recommend a pioneer unit with built in ipod control. Most work with iphone (possibly don't charge) Or build a car pc with centrafuse front end. |

| 873484 | 2010-04-06 08:35:00 | Thanks Alex B, I'll look into the pioneer stuff then. Any specific models you think I should start looking at? |

| 873485 | 2010-04-06 08:44:00 | DEH-4250SD on trademe looks like an ok buy to me. I prefer the OLED screen as you get 2-3 lines of text, but they seem to kick in around the 350-400 mark. | Alex B (15479) | ||

| 873487 | 2010-04-06 09:01:00 | You might be better off getting a NavMan or similair, 299 to 500 plus depending on model and features. And in the future, if you sell your new Honda, the inbuilt GPS won't be portable to a new car would it. And if you ever need to use a rental car or share a car with someone else, your portable Nav unit can go along for the ride. |

| 873488 | 2010-04-06 10:51:00 | Ah this vehicle has the double-sized space, because of the screen ... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 873489 | 2010-04-06 11:03:00 | The screen is a handy place for post-it notes, otherwise the import GPS does not have much potential for usefulness. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 873490 | 2010-04-06 18:15:00 | A GPS??? Fer gawds sake! You live on an island and I cannot for the life of me figger out how you can get lost! If you go the wrong way - ker-SPLASH - and you do a 180º - going back the other way. I'd personally worry about sheep on the motor pathways - and I'd get forward looking radar for those nights when the Lucas headlights are their brightest and you really have enough mutton already in the larder. |

| 873491 | 2010-04-06 22:48:00 | The place may be small, but it is perfectly formed. ;) Everywhere is so packed with delights, it is essential to have a GPS to avoid missing the myriad of marvels every mile. Without a GPS you could think you were merely meandering, with the GPS you can be officially digitally lost. |
