        Yes, and only with Navigon if you're using Android - not Google Maps or HERE Maps, or anything else.

        Says it does, or the proprietary Garmin app, which doesn't include much unless you pay the yearly fee :/

    • pegaxs on 27/01/2016 - 15:15
      +3

      Apparently according to most of the reviews, the free version of Navigon from Samsung does not work.

      This is NOT a stand alone unit and will only work with the 1 or 2 apps from Garmin. It has no GPS itself and is therefore more of a display device than a GPS as it relies on info from the phone and associated apps.

      There are a lot of apps out there that will turn your phone into a GPS HUD / Speedo HUD that are a lot cheaper alternative and have more flexibility than this…

      For anyone curious about it, here is just one review of the unit;

      I'll be happy when these are more mainstream, like the Calais-V/Caprice-V/SS-V Redline. Have driven the Caprice-V a bit and got very used to the HUD!

      • tonyjzx on 27/01/2016 - 13:47

        yeah heaps of cons even for $50

      • systmworks on 27/01/2016 - 14:23

        Isnt there an option for it to display on a flip-up plastic screen, instead of putting film on the windscreen?

        My hardware HUD came with film but I threw it away - just have the image reflecting off the windscreen - shows a slight double-image but the writing is large enough you hardly notice it.

      It is hard to see during sunny day but my BMW HUD unit automatically brighten up the unit when this happened. Maybe this Garmin unit could do the same.

    $29.95 for the Navigon Android app, PLUS in-app purchases to un-cripple it, e.g. trafic info.
    But you can bill it to Telsta prepaid, so thats a $5 SIM from the drawer for ozbargainers.

    Is Navigon any good compared to other options? I like the free Nokia/Here maps.

    For iPhone, $100 plus another $100 in-app to de-cripple. (excl. truck nav) No bargain.

    • bobjane on 27/01/2016 - 21:05

      Maximum single purchase that you can bill to Telstra is $20.

      • bargaino on 27/01/2016 - 21:12

        That's what I thought, until I tried it :-)
        They must have increased the limit.

          That is a nice change. I might try it if/when I get over the 3 hours on hold it took me to get the last Hellstra sim activated.

  • Clear on 27/01/2016 - 14:12

    I used to sit a tablet on my dash with the plenty of free apps on the Play store and it worked perfectly at night.

    It did get me pulled over once though.

    • systmworks on 27/01/2016 - 14:19

      Hah. What did they actually pull you over for? Plenty of cars come with build in HUD's now. Did you get a ticket?

      I used to run Torque app on my phone, in HUD (mirrored) mode, reflecting off the windscreen. The dynamic coloured graphs/needles/digits look pretty nice.. better than hardware HUD's.

      • Clear on 27/01/2016 - 16:15
        +1

        It was torque. Older car back then and they were really interested in what it was. Just bored on the graveyard shift I suppose.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2016 - 14:19

    This is a test product, Garmin obviously wants to test the market.

    No deal because the product barely do anything by itself.

    I'll save my money and wait for the next gen.

    is the displayed speed calculated purely from your GPS data? that can't be terribly accurate can it?

  • Squidgy on 27/01/2016 - 20:40

    As someone who ACTUALLY uses this in my car, I couldn't recommend it more!
    I use it direct to my windshield without the film or little plastic screen.
    Yes you can see it during the day, as it auto adjusts its brightness (fainter though with UV sunnies, but still can see it).
    The Navigon app has improved a lot as-of-late and gets me where I need to go absolutely fine. The speed limits can be off every now and then (But you should be looking at the signs anyways!).

    It's handy to have all the essential info right in front of your eyes (or just your speed and speed limit if using it in non-nav mode).

    You know its useless when Gerry is selling these for 1/4 of their regular price.

  • twister292 on 29/01/2016 - 09:20

    A friend of mine had this device…it's a half-arsed product, which doesn't even function as a plain speedometer when not paired with the phone/app…

    it really needs a built-in GPS receiver of its own. For the $50, not worth it. If you have a cradle to secure your phone in the car, an app like Ulysse Speedometer or DigiHUD will suffice for speed-checking/trip counting

    If using the phone for nav, apps like Here Maps can display your speed quite prominently anyway. Even an OBD-plugged HD unit will be better off for speed display, and as an added bonus, an OBD-connected unit will not leave you with another device fighting for the 12v socket…

    I have just finished setting up an awesome 'in car apple network'. Bought a ipadmini and a mount. I bluetooth ipad to car stereo which has a mic. I got a $50 annual telstra data plan and set up a wifi dongle. I then connected ipad and my iphone to the telstra wifi dongle. This allows me to use ipad as phone. Ipad is permanently attached to dash and the iphone can stay in pocket. Maps, music, phone on a ipad mini screen. It all connects as soon as i get in, no messing about with connecting every time i drive. There are a few tricks to set up but it is best every!!!

    • twister292 on 30/01/2016 - 07:33

      Pretty nifty…do you a pocket-wifi type device or the Wifi modem that plugs into the lighter socket?

      • leakysub on 30/01/2016 - 12:35

        i do
        u need the ipadmini with a sim slot (cellular) even thought u dont put a sim in it. The cellular ones have gps. Ths way maps nav worls.

        • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2016 - 11:56

          why not just hotspot from the ipad if it has cellular? also couldn't you just skip the ipad and get a dock for your phone? there are bluetooth adaptors that autoconnect as soon as you get into the car so you don't have to fiddle with anything. but i guess this way you have wifi available for anyone in the car if needed.

          interesting set up though..do you ever take the ipad off the dock for security?

  • leakysub on 07/02/2016 - 12:14

    You need the wifi dongle seperate so the ipad and iphone both log on to same connection. This allows the new handoff feature so u can make and receive calls. I leave it in car 24/7 but it auto locks after 5min.

  • Kranbone on 08/02/2016 - 13:46

    had a search around for the Cassette Adapter but sadly no local stores had it. Anyone have any success finding a store that had stock (NSW metro)?
