Has any one out there got this nav system.
I was looking at a 7"screen with reverse camera on Ebay and it has iGO8 nav on it
was hoping someone has used it in the city for street nav.
Thanks Guys and Girls any info would be great.
Was just thinking iGO8 may be like route 66 have heard nothing good about it.
should be able to run Oziexplore on it because it runs Win CE v62gb flash and 8gb sd card.
Thanks again Phil.

guess there will always be one to dissent..in this case me
I have a Garmin nuvi on the windscreen and have always been very happy with its city navigayion.......makes sensible route choice and the ETQ is spot on
I have IGo on an indash in the cruiser and it is very second rate as far as city nav goes........in fact I hate it....if I had never had the portable Garmin then I would probably think it ok...it has some nice on screen features but what matters is being accurate and functional
for example its ETA is out consistently by up to 50%
coming from Kalgoorlie to Merredin the other day (navigating to
Perth just for the hell of it)...east of Merriden it wanted me to turn north onto a gravel road about 10km out of Merredin..luckily I was a local and ignored it...and it then recalculated and wanted me to stay on my target
Another time between Manjimup and Walpole (navigating to the town center) it wanted me turn left (east) down a small side road which would have taken me god knows where
I have numerours examples where in the city it makes stupid navigation suggestions when using side by side with the Garmin it is a comedy except I no longer laugh
Still trying to work out how I can get the Garmin software onto my system and still retain the OziExplorer
I wouldnt give you the time of day for IGO
It
