among the new wave of portable GPS this one caught my eye...

Magellan 9055. 7" HD screen WITH input for AV and back up camera! i want to find a creative way to mount it

anyone have any experience with these? vs the 9020?

I busted my old Magellan and they are offering me a trade in for $189.99

(bought my old top of the line 4250 back in the day for $375.99 (2008)

 

Your 550 got no nav???

 

no nav!!! =(

 

Wow i thought every 550 had one?!

 

Nope, it's an option

 

arent you getting an hu with nav in it?

 

sigh. not enough $ yet for that mod.

magellan offering me a trade in for super cheap for my old busted 4250

 

A mounted GPS would look weird on a 550.

 

True

 

Use your iphone

cool thx for the input guys

will save up for a pioneer avic instead

 

the tribe members agree...go get a real navi headunit lol

 

If I see the mounted GPS and then I see the 550 badge, I would most likely think it's a poser. No offense, midnight. Maybe you could swap the gps and give it to the wife.

 

Lol lol lol lol +10

 

i want whatever this guy is smoking.

 

What I do since I too have no nav is to use the suction cup mount and mount it to the face of the radio and it then is right where the factory nav would be. Not perfect, but it works fine. Just wipe the screen of the radio first so it does not get scratched. I would add the factory nav if I could find one I know worked and if I knew how much work went into it.

 

well considering its the highest non AMG model and comes with all the goodies. Xenons , AMG body kit i would think Nav too
