Default Pioneer AVICX1 - Anybody got one?

Looking at one of these for a neat satnav solution, just wondered what they are like (mainly how satnav compares to tomtom etc)

Cheers, Paul.

Cheaper than the Kenwood option tho!

Is the SatNav actually better than the TomTom etc?

Far better than TomTom but Alpine SatNav is the best imo.

Yeah its a bit pricey but the new tomtom is over Ł500 with antenna and looks gay stuck in the window like a portable caravan telly lol
Just worried a new generation may come out or a significant price drop is due
