Which is the best? I have seen the new Alpine, Clarion Joyride, and Pioneer navi. Help me out. Thanks.

 

Alpine, hands down in my book.

 

What do you like best about it? I want my navi system to have logos for gas stations like the factory acura navi. I want to be able to put in address, phone #, and it tell me how to get there turn by turn and have voice activations, does the Alpine Powernav do this? Can it pinpoint exactly where I am located? I have read on auctions on ebay about features it has but some I don't understand what different options mean and I get confused. Can you tell me some cool features about it? Also what do you think of this Pioneer Navi system? It also plays dvd movies. My most important wants for a navi system are voice activation, gas station logos, and plays dvd movies while car is moving. Thanks

Alpine gets my vote

 

AzNTL, a guy on the legendforums has the alpine navi unit and he said it doesn't have Texaco and Shell icons for gas stations and other actual logos? Anybody know if they actually do or not? Thanks.

 

heard good stuff about the alpine. I also like the eclipse.

If the Clarion Joy Ride is anything like the Auto Pc I would not get it. The Navi feature pretty much sucks so far. I would go with Alpine if I were to get another one.

 

Just to compare...

...my brother has the Alpine navi in his 4Runner, in my opinion its not nearly as nice as the Acura navi. The voice prompts are better but I think you've to sign a waiver releasing liability before they will install it such that it will work when the car is in motion. The joystick remote for key input is quite a hassel, the graphics are lower resolution and choppy.

 

1st choice

///Factory ///Factory ///Factory all the way!

Ok... if we are talking after market, then

///Alpine ///Alpine ///Alpine all the way! also.....

 

Im sure theres no way you can have acura upgrade your whole dash to make the factory one fit? Sounds way to pricy or I would rather do that.
