    I saw one in a taxi the other week, the driver said that he got it from a company called Sat Nav (I think) out near the Mad Cow Roundabout on the Naas Road.

    I think he paid about 600 for it, its a bit hazy tbh.

    AFAIK most navigation systems only cover the major cities, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and are useless once you get outside of these.

    I am currently using a Magellan Sportrak map, I use it for navigation around Ireland and is pretty damn good, you can get mapsend street software for all the major cities and towns in Ireland.

    The Car mount is okay and I mounted is to the right of the steering wheel so I don’t have to look too much or take my eyes of the road.


    The whole set-up cost 249 dollars via e-bay and is great not just for the car I would 100% recommend as it would rival anything on the market here.
