We have one of the ubiquitous 2DIN chinese sourced GPS/Entertainment devices in the Ute. The standard Ozi skin is basically not-useable. The EOZI interface is just so much better! Driving on road: this is glance-readable by the driver, which is nice. This is easily the best $10 you can spend on Ozi for in-car nav. Just do it - you won't regret it one iota..
The skin is not without fault though! As noted by others - the odometer is hard to read because the black writing on dark(ish)
grey button lacks sufficient contrast to clearly see the information from a distance in sunlight. The other issue I have (and this might just be my 2DIN unit...) is the 'DIM" button does rather too good a job of dimming the screen - it turns it off! So you then have to remember where on the screen the DIM toggle button might be and press it again :) Since I don't do off road at night that much anyway, this is something I could live with. But it would be nice to have it work better.
Having the full Hema mapset on the 2DIN device has always been handy for off road (and even on-road) but having the EOZI skin completely transforms the thing. Even my somewhat reluctant navigator can use it with confidence now!
