I am about to purchase the Eclipse AVN6600 HU. Anyone that has this unit can you tell me how well the navigation system works vs something like the portabe Garmin C330 or the Alpine Blackbird ??? I travel extensively and need the navigation to work very well. Thanks for any help you may offer.

Anyone.........anyone.......Bueller ???

 

I own the AVN50d and the GPS is sweet. I would suspect they use similar functions on the 6600 with better graphics. Don't know that you can find gas stations or restaurants on the Garmin (can't on mine). For grins I selected restaurants in the POI menu and found all the McDonalds within the county. I selected one on the touch screen and Bridget (or Angelina if you prefer) led me directly to it. It displays speed and direction on screen and accuracy is pretty tight. Split screens for tight view while watching wide view. Of course, for 1400 taco's it better be pretty d#&* accurate.

 

Thats awesome bro.....I really appreciate the feedback. I cant wait to get it. If anyone else has any comments, I would certainly appreciate it.

 

I live by my eclipse nav. I have the avn5495 myself, but install navs for a living and the eclipse models have been rock solid. The 6600 is a great piece and has a ton of features including the dual drives and multizone capability. The Blackbird and garmin are not in the same league. Indash is by far the way to go, period.

 

Awesome man......thank you....that makes me feel much better about spending the cash on all of it.....Im gunna do it up right with tha back up camera, flip down monitor in the rear, sirius tuner, Ipod video hooked up, by pass the video lock, etc etc etc......Cant wait.

 

I have the avn5500 and love it too....I found directions to a random girl's house in the middle of bfe Georgia...lol....So yes the eclipse did get me ***...hey it's paying for itself already...lol....and just so you know I got mine brand new on ebay from a stereo store in LA for 1140 shipped.....Came brand new with everything...haven't seen a better deal since that..take care and good luck
