Din Sized Navigation's

Probably One of the safest navigation's from a theft point of view. These navigation's are the same size as that of any other din sized radio so in most vehicles will fit straight in. They have a small screen to allow you to see directional arrows and they give you voice guidance. The best feature has to be that the front panel can be removed, this in itself is a great option as it then looks like any other radio.
With quite a few options on the market we feel the best way is to demonstrate them to you to see which you like the operations of.
They all act on postcode and address entry and also have point of interest on them.
The other advantage is that they are also your radio and CD, both these options (depending on system) can be used at the same time as navigation, so if you had a route entered in you could listen to the radio or CD between guidance.
Prices start at £399 and they can be transferred to your next vehicle .
