cj247 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Any 7 friendly recommendations for a combined sat nav with dash cam & speed camera alerts? Aguri Car GT720 looks interesting so has anyone experience of this unit?Having had two TomToms the experience was poor with atrocious battery life & poor reliability. The last one only lasted 13 months! Not impressed with Garmin software either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj247 Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Dedicated for larger display.I have used USB charger in power socket but TomTom charger was not a good fit to the charger socket & kept cutting out. I guess I could wire in a dedicated USB socket though.I looked at previous discussions but models change frequently so some of this information is out of date now.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 21, 2018 Member Share Posted April 21, 2018 You can now get sockets that include both "cigar lighter" and a few USB sockets. But there have been warnings about electrical noise from them. I use an adaptor.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
