    IMHO its just ok, but I don't have any cameras so aren't fully exploiting it.
    Dunno about upgrading maps - it should be free but I suspect not.
    If you're thinking of going bush you'll want much more detailed maps, too.
    The touch screen is easy enough to read, but clunky compared to smart phones etc, and I've seen better operating systems - there's some threads on the after market options.
    Try/get a demo and you'll decide soon enough...

    Have you got the latest voice command premium system?
    I have since found out the upgrades are fairly expensive,around $300

    I might go the aftermarket way & save a few bucks,the garmin i use in the work van is brilliant,even though it doesn't have voice command.

    Yeah I haven't got into it, its a bit gimmicky to my mind - I know others use it tho.

    Your garmin will have more functionality and information - camera locations and warnings, speed limits etc, and I can't find a way (for example) of getting fuel stations to come up unless the car thinks its running low.

    Voice commands are the easiest way to get your POI's "navigation petrol"

    What is the tech pack? and is for new purchases or is an upgrade to existing models ? (D4)

    ...and to get rid of them all when there are so many you can't actually see the map: "navigation POI off"

    Yeah I'm afraid it is. You get used to it after a while and learn to enter the Road or Town which ever has the least letters or will give the least progressive search results. The other fields are then limited to the Road or Town filter.
    One anoying thing it does is if you are entering a destination at the traffic lights and move before you finish, next time you stop and continue the "List" button does not activate. Bit of a flaw in the programming.
