Does anyone know anything about navigation systems that intigrate a display "and" accept spoken commands. I have heard that Pioneer has one but don't know if they're any good.
What about Alpine, or other makes. Perhaps it's better to just choose between either - or. Any info will be appreciated.
Thanx
I had the pioneer avic 90 dvd navigation along with the 6300 in-dash monitor/cd player. I really liked it. The navigation responds well and also allows you to controll all your sources--fm tuner, cd , cd changer, etc by voice. I stil have the nav, just upgraded to indash dvd monitor--which no longer allowes for voice activation. You can buy the nav and indash monitor as a package, they are really built around one another. hope this helps.

Thank you for the info. I have however read about the avic90 that the logic it uses can sometimes take you 5 miles out of the way to get you started on a route, ignoring the fact that an entry point might be up the block. Perhaps you can comment on its accuracy and ease of use. Appreciated very much
I love mine----you are going to get "misleading directions" with any navigation system out on the market right now. I haven't had many major issues as far as routing goes---but I just use it here locally. The one major feature that I like is that you can enter in a buisness telephone number and it will pull up directions to its location---which is a lot faster then typing it in. Overall, I would give it an 8 out of 10. Also word is, that later pioneer will allow you to download local area maps from the nav dvd disc to a pc card which will allow you to remove the nav dvd and play movies while still having nav info being read off of the pc card.
