the sat nav that is....

due to an impending road trip , i've replaced my 5 inch sat nav with a 7 inch chinese jobby ..

this pic shows the 4.3 inch one i had in before replacing it with my 5 incher...

I'm sure that extra 2 inches will satisfy her.  John

Is this for your european trip Stan ?

We really need to find a solution to updating the maps on the RR satnav.

How is it clipped on ?
I need a decent mount to hold my phone, and not found anything that works at present (Samsung note  Too many toys, not enough time

john, yes it's for the trip to venice and back [hopefully] ..

the nav unit is clipped onto a back frame mount and that frame is cable tied to the vent...



as you know you cant update the FF nav to newer than 2014 mapping so this unit with 2018 mapping is an alternative.. ... - .- -.

in fact, you can update, the kit is called "2019RRL405". It is a bit pricey but you'll have the latest maps.

I use Waze on my phone in my 405(well in all cars really), I think we only used the sat nav once, just because there was no signal on the phone... l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

please explain more re this update J...

the 2010-2012 have hard drive sat navs which, afaik, cannot be updated..the newer L405 can be done with usb drives...

I'm afraid this post just sums up the youth of today..... it should be a road map (hard copy) and a bit of the grey matter

mine is 10.5", Samsung that is, that I use most of the time for nav and playing music via AUX. but on occasion I use this one to. I'am 6'4" so it is not obstructing my view. it is rather nice to have maps right in one's line of sight.

If you go with this one- file/send the edges all around.

@ nino

Do you have a link for the mounting bracket ? .

Sorry Joe, I bought mine the old fashioned way - in department store.

Nino,

OK, I'll do a search  .

It is nice to have the maps on clear view but......having the SatNav mounted on the IP binnacle above the wheel is illegal, and the fuzz were told this year to tighten up on these offences.
The official line is if you want to mount it within the windscreen area the bottom right by the A pillar is the only acceptable position.
Too many numpties mount them just stuck anywhere on the screen area obstructing their road view which makes it a pain for sensibly mounted units.

This only applies in the UK, other countries may be fine with it of course. David
