Mapping With Oz Maps On V35

[GeeDog]

I saw this pic on a Gumtree ad, and wonder if anyone knows how this would be done? The same car also has a TV reciever which also outputs to the screen.

Its an aftermarket GPS with a video output that can be displayed on the screen. There is most probably a little mouse pad somewhere in the car or it has a touch screen overlay

Thanks Brad. Any idea what brand / model of GPS would be suitable - getting sick of looking at a blue GPS background:)

There is a Garmin GVN53 and HiTV for starters. There are a few brands out there. Chris Rogers would be the best to ask from Audio Express

Thanks

Gvn 53 is no longer built.

the unit displayed is HITV and has a mouse pad nearby.

I am working with a US company to develop another TOUCH based garmin solution for these cars.

Primarily working on the V36 though as the V35 is old hat and the kids buying them seem to want to go fast rather than mod the electronics.

Out of curiosity Chris, what other Garmin unit is there now that the GVN53 has been discontinued? I'm more curious from an audio standpoint as the GVN53 didn't have an audio input. My thinking there being to have the GPS accept incoming audio from an external media player (my trusty old Sony NW-A3000 ATRAC beast) and intercept it as required with the GPS directions. So all the while, one can have their auxiliary video cake and eat it with music too.

Garmin still do the GVN box but not the 53. GVN 54 is available via me, I have the distribution rights for it.

As for doing audio in depends on how and what application you are doing. Simple mixer circuit with a logic input for the garmin would do it.

Now if we are using the garmin at speaker level then that is a different matter.

Make sense?

If you are doing this to a V35 then it's somewhat of a drop in. The touch panel side of it is easy on a v36 not so on a v35 due to screen size. 35 is a 6.8" width. Most panels are 7.1 or so.
