Sensus Navigation isn't great; it works but is a bit dumbed down - it doesn't support 3rd party Points Of Interest, for example. You do get bi-annual map updates for life included. It is more convenient than using a phone and satnav app though.
Quite an expensive convenience really. Think I'd rather use my Google Maps. I actually find that easier anyway when navigating to place names/POI's. You can just type the place, Google recognizes it and off you go.
It's finding a decent enough mount that's the issue. I have come across some CD slot mounts that looks pretty good though.
I still sort of feel that the Nav function 'completes' the system but for the price can definitely live without.....

As I haven't got Nav built in, anyone know what system I do have? I did see another thread with Levels 1,2 and 3 on it. Putting mine at 3. Is this right?
