I'm hard of hearing, so need good clear sound from a sat nav. Can anyone suggest units that have clear, loud audio, or sets to avoid.

if you get a system with a 'headphone' socket you can feed the audio output into your car stereo and adjust the volume accordingly.

a few ways to do this are:

1) tape adaptor - these plug into the headphone socket and has a 'cassette tape' at the other end. cost about £3 from maplin, ebay etc

2) aux input - if your stereo has an aux input (3.5mm jack socket) then simply run a 3.5mm - 3.5mm jack lead from headphone socket to the aux in

3) if you have neither a tape player or aux-in you can use an fm transmitter. these became legal in december last year so are now very easy to find and you can get them for under a tenner. you plug it into the headphone socket, select an fm frequency and tune the radio into that frequency.


these do, however, mean you cant have music on at the same time (unless you use the built in mp3 player on some systems) but if you're hard of hearing i'm sure you wouldn't have music on at the same time as getting directions anyway?!
