Alternative for Non Nav Cars
Message
I am the newest member to the forum. I, like many of you ordered the NAV option in Dec. 2002 and had the same re-order
dance for July 03 delivery.
In the meantime having a trip to Fla. planned I picked up the NAVMAN i-630 for GPSSTORE.com.
This piece worked flawlessly and has the same screen and voice prompts as found in my Lexus SC 430.
If any of you have a need for one and want the recommendation here it is. The unit retails for $1000. GPS sold to me for $860.00.
I will try to post a jpeg this week in the E. Once the new car is delivered NAVAMAN goes into an Infiniti FX 35 .
Great forum and lots of good intel.
Derek.

The "dynamic route guidance based on RDS-TMC"
The "dynamic route guidance based on RDS-TMC" does in-the-fly nav guidance redirection using data received via radio waves about traffic info. Unfortunately, that system is not used very much here in the US so it's unlikely we'd see such an option here. DRB has said that he doesn't see a Dynamic Route Guidance option in his system.
TMC is a European feature, supported by most European radio stations.
To make TMC work, one needs always current Traffic information, supplied by RDS-radio stations. About 20% of the US FM stations transmitt RDS signal but only few send and CODE traffic news.

What difference, if any, is there in the appearance of the antenna above the rear window?

The list varies depending on your location. The system provides a list of restaurant types, american, indian, viet, itallian, etc. then you pick a type, then the system lists those around your geographic area by distance.

These features are neat, but I've had all these same features in my Honda navigation system since 2000 (plus it uses touch screen). I was really looking forward to the more exotic features as rumored such as the Traffic system and bluetooth, but looked like those are not in the US version...
