Finally, I have found the answer to our new vehicle purchase. We lately bought a new Ford Excusrion with completely of the bells and whistles.... almost, anyway. As Ford doesn't have a decent Nav system available, and we didnt want to give up the in-dash 6 CD changer and steering wheel audio controls, we decided to go aftermarket on the nav. I came across this unit in Las Vegas and bought it, as it offered the turn-by-turn instructions and 3D mapping I was looking for. After a 6 hour control back home, I am completely sold on the model. The unit's built very ruggedized, and looks as if it able to take a lot of punishment. The navigation performed flawlessly and found a new route fast after I decided I didn't want to go the way it told me to. The kit contains many mounting options.... a real plus! On the dash of the Excursion, the large 5" screen fits right in, without being obtrusive. I am looking into several mounting options, however. I'll be installing a seperate under-dash audio system for the nav, as I don't want to parallel the audio in with the XM modulator. Very nice unit. I hope that it holds up all the same years from now.
