Sure it's good, but it depends on what you're comparing it too. Audio is
probably on a par with £200-£300 HUs. SatNav is average, reasonably good
map display, not perfect (but then none are), easy address input, average
POIs, no speed camera database and you can't add them. Look for reviews on
the Avic-N1 on American sites, similar hardware (don't be tempted to buy a
cheap N1 on ebay for UK use though).

I found it tough to find any independent reviews prior to buying mine, so I
just bit the bullet and I'm not disappointed, if you have any specific
questions, about operation etc. just ask (I'm not an expert though, I'm
still learning).

Cheers

Cant you add any POI?
not even manually?
I currently have Tomtom 5 on a PDA and use it for speed cameras, and I run a
dual fuel car, so I have all UK places with LPG.
I want to upgrade to an all in one music/dvd/satnav system, fed up with all
the satnav wires trailing all over the dash!
