as an alternative, Pioneer sells a flip-out screen that has dvd/mp3/cd-r/satnav features. that's what i'm planning on installing.

if you have a pda, forget about the trafficpro. I use Tom Tom on my pocketpc, and it's got color maps, waypoints, the whole nine yards. PLUS, I can take it with me wherever I go and drop it in my other car if I want. The bluetooth receiver and software cost me less than $200 combined with a cradle.

how is that i am thinking about buying a nokia e61 and i think they have it for s60 series phones..

I was leary at first then I installed it and started playing with it - it's as good as anything you'll be able to put into a car and muuuch better than a trafficpro. It's the full-on, straight up Tom Tom application, except it runs on your pda or phone. If you put it on a phone, you can even dial points of interest from the nav software.

[detroit202]

im sold... ill be bringing up this post in a month or two once i get that e61 ... i was playing with a tom tom in the store the other day.. that thing costs $600 the software is only 149

yeah I don't understand why people are buying the devices when you can get a great phone or pda with much more functionality, plus the software and gps device for the same price - or even less.
