A New Nav

Filed under: — Josh Wardell @ 12:24 am

I’ve been long overdue for an update to my old PDA-based navigation system, and with my new traffic-sensitive commute I finally bought and installed one. In addition to the usual navigation features, I wanted handsfree BlueTooth capability to take calls on the road as well as live traffic data to assist in my commute. The cheapest system with these features was the Garmin Nuvi 370.

It is neatly mounted in place of my old nav, using the Kuda mount and an adaptor from ProClip. Shown here is a live traffic map, which I often use when driving to and from work. Of course the regular view is 3-dimensional, and I get to enjoy new-to-me features like displayed street names and full voice pronunciation. The available MINI graphics are certainly a nice extra as well.

My old Navigation Page was once a popular source as a guide to making and custom installing a nav system, so I’ve taken the opportunity to update it.
