I NEED THE FOLLOWING ON MY NEXT GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM:

by Land_Surfer - 3/31/09 9:14 PM

NEEDS

- External volume control and/or mute button

- Search for POI's, other than "exit" POI's, without having to cancel
an active trip to do so

- Keyboard arranged like that of a laptop, not one whose letters/keys
are arranged in consecutive order

- Built-in FM modulator in order to use the car/truck's stereo
speakers vs. using a cheap built-in speaker for the hands free
blue tooth cell phone interface

- Built in or wireless noise canceling microphone that can actually
be used clearly when the unit is placed near the windshield, even
when its pouring down rain, for the hands free blue tooth cell
phone interface, etc.

- Auto sensing / upload (whatever) of latest local road and traffic
conditions and maybe even access to local weather information

I don't think these features are too much to ask for given the amount of business travel that takes place in this day and age. I'm sure I can think of others. I should've just flat out said "make these things more convenient to use when driving down the interstate or while negotiating urban traffic." ;-)

Options. To get everything you want, i think your best bet is an in dash system. Much more expensive, but it will integrate everything in your car, so it will be very easy to use.

There are other, cheaper alternatives on Crutchfield.com, but I just picked out the ones that had all the options you want.
