I know this topic had been discussed over and over again..but i just some final information.....

What is a good aftermarket navigation system for the coupe? I saw a Compaq PDA with a navigation system add-on...

Any recommandation?

 

Prolly the simplest would be a garmin unit that has maps onboard - they have many to choose from.

Look on ebay for garmin GPS. If you want indash, look for a DVD based system versus CD - one map for whole country.

i don't want a whole new system (like pioneer) which will mess up my steering controls and audio system....i saw another M_____ brand used in Hertz rental cars...which one is better...this one or the garmin ?

 

The Magellan system is much more expensive and less portable than the Garmin systems. I cannot speak about whether they are better but they approach the price of the COMAND! The two relevant Garmin's are the GPS V and the StreetPilot III. The former is smaller, B&W display and beeps to prompt you at turns/changes. The latter is a bit larger (still smaller than COMAND), color and has voice prompts.

You can investigate the Magellan and Garmin options at their websites. You can also find lots of info at: http://joe.mehaffey.com
