VDO Navigation? Any good - ShereKhan
Hi
I'm considering purchasing a VDO MS2000 navigation unit. It seems be quite good, but I can't seem to find any reviews for it. Have any BR's ever used it?

It £480 retail but as I work for the parent company I can get it for £330 (Xmas promo). Should I go for it or should I look at Tom Tom?

If you work for the company that makes it and, so far as I can see it isn't for sale yet, surely you are in the best position to know whether it is any good or not? It is very expensive compared with other systems on the market.

Armitage, unfortunately my division makes PLCs, Inverters. VDO is owned by us but I have absolutely no involvement with VDO, we just get the staff discounts. The staff discount scheme involves ringing up an order processing agent who know nothing of the device.

I would visit Makro to see the device if I had membership. I was wondering if anyone has used it or not £320 seemed quite cheap to me as it offers a SD slot, MP3 player, JPEG Viewer, 544Mb memory on board and european maps
