Low Cost Navi Alternative

In our despair after getting lost (in downtown LA) Klumzyee and i found a low-cost solution to those of us without nav. this mod is a direct bolt-on to the nav cubby. No tools necessary. Powered by Yahoo MapQuest. Works like a charm

woohoo!! requires some squinting at..

also the passenger MOD (Kyosho).. it can read the navi for you and give you detailed direction: IE: Exit in next exit.. Make right on Main Street.. etc..

it even folds down!! xP

Hahah, that's classic... yet so so familiar.

It's too bad we don't have Navigation in Hawaii...

hehe ... another alternative is to get a portable nav unit like the Navman, Garmin, or Magellan

They are around $300 and portable to other cars

If you have a PDA (Palm, Ipaq, etc.) you can buy the GPS adapter for it as well.

Lol
You mean this mod is direct tape on. That's cool though. You could hold quite a few maps in the cubby.

Later,
