Even though the Carin system is now quite old it still works very well, my system would navigate to house numbers and the later ones have postcode entry. It doesn't have the interface of the Tom Toms but it is nearly 10 years old. Have you got an updated disk.
How can you navigate to housenumbers if it's the same nav system? Maybe your nav box's slightly newer than mine...which means that it's probably possible to get a box which can navigate to housenumbers and replace it with the existing one...in my car. Could you provide a modelnumber ? I assume it's compatible with the original display...
The userinterface I can live with...
Yes I've got an updated disk...2005 maps...new enough for me.
It has to be said, by far the most sensible and cost effective solution to sat nav is a portable unit (Mio C510E being my recommendation).
It is so far ahead of what you have now it is comical to compare the 2, even with the updated maps.
The new units really are superb and will fit away easily when not in use.
Yea, you're right...this is probably the best solution, at least concerning cost and user interface and I actually have a pda with tomtom, but I always forget it when I need it, so an integrated solution is a must...it's always there and difficult (or at least more difficult than a pda or other portable unit) to steal, but it's so annoying that it doesn't have the capability to navigate to housenumber.
