New Navi Option

For those that don't have navi, there's a new option on the market called the cfQue: http://www.garmin.com/products/cfQue/

It's a conversion kit for anyone that has a PocketPC computer that adds the functionallity of an iQue. For $250 it's a pretty cheap option.

Ok I've found a couple issues with this unit so maybe it's not for everyone. First, it only comes with 64mb installed and since it takes your CF slot you had better have another SD slot or a lot of internal memory to make it useful for road trips. I usually have a 240mb map loaded in my iQue which covers about a 1000km radius around me.

Problem #2: it doesn't have a connector for an external antenna so you are limited where you can mount it.

Problem #3: there isn't a car kit available for it because it's universal so if you want amplified turn by turn directions, you're going to have to get creative with your headphone jack and an FM modulator.

It still looks cool but I'm not as impressed as I was when I first saw it...
