 |
|
With my Windows Mobile device running Navigator 6 having died, I'm looking at getting a dedicated unit.
I've seen the 920t available now for around the same price as the new 530. I'm aware of the mapping differences, but is the new functionality in the 530 better value than the extra maps, tmc-rds receiver and remote on the 920t?
I'm asuming I can get European and US maps for the 530 and stick them on an SD card.

Yes you can do this BUT it is a very costly way of getting to the same level offered by the 920, as you get the Latest Map Guarantee with the device the 920 should upgrade to the same capability of the 530 but you will have full European and US Mapping, in addition to the Remote control and RDS-TMC receiver.
The 920 also has the EPT (Enhanced Position Technology) for use in tunnels and poor reception areas - the 530 doesn't have this at all, whether it is of much use in the UK depends upon how often you drive through tunnels - Mike |

Thanks Mike, I was leaning towards the 920t. I do have a few tunnels on my usual route along the A55, but fairly short, so not much of an issue.
