Looking at installing a reversing camera on the vehicle, and may as
well go GPS while I'm at it.
Checking out eBay, there appears to be a few with 7" screens for around $240.00.
Any one out there purchased and are using such a device??
Another 'must' is the ability to install extra navigation software (read: OziExplorer)..and room for heaps of digital maps.
Oh..and a reasonable Street Direction supplied package would be good !!
Any good ones and/or bad ones out there??
Many thanks in advance..

I bought one of these, very simple to set up and works
well with Oziexplorer, swaps to rearview camera automatically when you stick the vehicle in reverse.
Came with IGO which is one of the best street nav programs.
Seller is good to deal with too, based in
Melbourne ebay au auction 320551267250 or he also has them without the camera for $40 less.

I forgot to add that I've used up to 16gig SD cards, suspect it will take up to 32gig. All you need is the maps and Ozi CE onto the SD card.

Not good if you want a van cam for rearview when going forward though
But by a dual power setup can be made to do both as
mine do

Hi Graham
Yes, and as aforesaid, dual purpose screen OK for reversing camera, but not for rear view camera unless you only want to look at the GPS to find out where you are lost. Different cameras for the different purposes too. We use a camera for rear view, not reversing, although it is of some assistance to help prevent you backing into a large tree LOL, although we abandoned using the camera on dusty roads as the cloud of dust behind the caravan obscured the vision anyway.

Hiya Peter
Thanks for the
feedback on that item. That was the vendor I had been looking at on eBay.
That's what I am after- a reversing camera with GPS...(not necessarily a 'rear view' setup).
Would it be possible for you (Peter) to contact me 'off
forum' if I need to pick your brain in setting the system up???
My email: fsp@tsn.cc
Cheers
David
