Radio/GPS Headunit with offroad maps?

How much is the Opal Nissan Patrol unit selling for - do you know? Can't seem to find prices online.

Ah no idea how much they are, Just drop them an message.

Did you choose iGo Primo because you weren't satisfied with the Eonon navigation software?

Is your 8" unit the Eonon GE01B? Are you generally satisfied with it. It looks like a good unit for its price.

Yeah did not like the supplied software and would have been better off not ordering it. I had the iGo on another device before and it was easy to get the right screen layout file so went with that and 2014 Australia maps.

I is the GE01 (not sure if B or not I think the B is DAB) I did not get the DAB model but wish I had so would recommend you get this. I did add a universal reversing camera from the same EBay store (a Chinese distributor in QLD I think from memory).

I am generally happy - I had to adjust the hole in the dash a little to fit it in as with the tilting operation it needed a little more clearance than the standard 2 DIN fitting (this is mainly a LC issue I think as the stereo mount is recessed). I found it best viewed one tilt position out from flat and this works great but I did find I needed to put a wee wedge of card to stop a minor vibration in the tilt mechanism. This all sounds worse than it is and the unit is really good and works well I would recommend it but get the DAB one as the standard FM radio reception is crap compared to the OEM and a Pioneer I had in place before.

Son-in-law has one fitted in his Hilux dual cab. Was impressed with the size of the screen, and the clarity of the maps on it. Admittedly it was a cloudy day in Cairns, been like that for a month or more, so can't vouch for it on a bright, sunny day.

Can't comment on the other attributes of the unit, but for the price........!!!

Yeah can do the little program is something I wrote for Windows CE (Mobile 6). On these units there is usually a NAV button and/or a navigation option on the touch screen. This is linked to a nav program via a setting in the device setup screens. As these units are targeted to running just one type of GPS program (street nav program) the setup allows you to run a single .exe file normally igo, Polnav or a great number of other programs but only one. So what you do is setup my program to be the one the device runs when you enter navigation mode - then the settings in my program allow you to pick Street Mode (using what every program you have/want) or 4WD Mode using OziExplorer or for that matter any other exe program you want.

It looks like then when you run the program (press nav on your device): ignore the Opal logo I only had a capture of this variation at the moment. So you then press which mode you want and it runs.

For me this is iGo Primo and OziExplorer! the setup of which programs to run a done in a simply .txt file.

So David how does one get this little program of yours?

Maybe a small donation! $10k would cover it! Maybe a member would get it for free! I have thought about making this a product but that would involve me spending time to give it a finished polished look and I reckon I would not sell enough to cover the hours it would take to finish it to that level.

I would love to see you as a member! I will email it to you in any case and you can decide what it is worth to you.
