Looks an interesting prospect - much cheaper than other options.

I have sent them a request - kicking tyres for arranging a group buy.

Let's see what they come back with! :

Very keen on this so count me in for group buy. I think Disco4se would be keen as well. Let us know how you go. Thanks for posting.

Cool Rob! We need to make sure your trial of this unit is tied to the group buy.

Les - I agree, I use iGo for onroad and I reckon it's fantastic.

I've installed OziExplorer on a YF 6" standalone (Chinese) GPS running WinCE 6 and it works fine - but the extra 1" screen size will help.

Note that it is Chinese New Year at the moment, so I wouldn't expect a reply until next week.

Happy Australia Day everyone!

It's giving me a headache.

A headache now? Ouch! Doesn't bode well for tomorrow!

I know & I'm still at the pub lol!!

I'll drink to that!

As far as the Nav software, if it runs on Win CE 6.0, it will run on this unit. I like iGo8 which is the easiest to get & run for the city, can't help or advise on anything else like Ozi Explorer until I try it ...

Robocop Rob - I'm also willing to tip in for your trial efforts which will pay off for, or save, all of us.

Les.

If its the same as the Rusian one then it works on top of the factory stereo so shouldn't affect the vehicle time (even if it is a replacement for the factory one I'm sure you could add it as an extra instead and just use the amp out into the aux in to solve canbus issues then just move the old screen or buy a converter off eBay)

Hope everyone had a good Aussieday. My head is hurting this morning!!

Hi Folks,
I just received the following reply from the vendor:
___________
Dear Robert,

Thank you for the Email!

We are sorry to inform you that this model is out of stock and we are
not sure when the manufacter will send us the new units.

Best Regards,
___________


So - I suggest we all need to hammer their web site with interest in the product. This way, they might get the message that there is a real interest in the unit and might get off their behinds and order them. Worth a try any way.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
Rob
