What navigation system is this based on, Garmin, Magellan, etc.? does it include road conditions without a radio subscription?

It's the Navtec (sp?) system not the worse or best but it works for me. You will need to update it though( more money). The live traffic works and comes with the system. You can also call JVC for specifics. This is my second JVC the first was stolen. That should tell you of what I think of them. Alpine sucks got one hated it from the start very limited to JVC

The maps are Navteq. Same company that does Jeep and Dodge factory navigation. With the HD radio this unit has, I get road conditions and traffic updates. And you can get updates thru JVC website for the unit.

Yes. Google map can do the navigation. However, u need use the data. Or you can buy gps software like Tomtom from google store

No it does not do navigation. It has gps that give location on video. The only problem i have had is that you have keep resetting the time and date. Otherwise its great

Ihave a magellan which is done through them. For the garmin, I believe you have to go to the fathom alert website and download to your computer and open the file. i believe you can get all the info from them. I hope it works for you. joe

Philip, I just experimented with it and it appears to have a stand alone GPS. What I did was kill the Google Maps app and turned off the wifi connection. Then I started the Google Maps app and had it "find me". It pinpointed my location without any network connectivity, leading me to believe it has a separate GPS part. Hope this helps.

I need to purchase a handheld gps and download maps for Chile and Argentina road navigation and would appreciate advice from those who've used them. Which Garmin unit might be easy to learn for someone who's only used gps in a car?

The BT is a GPS, not a navigation system, as such it just sends data. If you wish to do the things in your question you will need a navigation program to use the BT. BTW it is an awesome GPS!

I think you mean model LM. The LM stands for Lifetime Maps. You register the GPS with Garmin, download an app called Garmin Express, and use it to check for updates. The updates to the firmware and maps are free for life, whereas you have to pay for updates if you don't buy the LM model. I have owned mine 2 1/2 months, and done 2 firmware updates I would have had to pay for without LM

Navigation is by Nokia, excellent with one mapping application and one specifically tuned for auto use. Phone Has A-GPS and doesn't need network to operate if regional maps are pre-downloaded (useful to save data while traveling) Video is by Music+Videos app by WindowsThe phone is completely unlocked and will take any Sim card. For instance when I travel internationally I swap 2 Sim, never had any issues.

sorry, i do not know but i can recommend something that DOES have maps of europe, namely WAYZ, which is an app you can get for any smart phone, and is -- sorry amazon -- a thousand times better than the garmin. it leads you around traffic jams, and has much gentler manners to boot.

I cant say. They advertise as having world maps but when I bought the item they did NOT have any maps for Jamaica. So I am not able to use the Navigation system. All other features work very well and the radio fits perfectly

It is not necessary to pay for a subscription to receive the GPS signals. This unit can receive the signals (for free) from anywhere on Earth, provided there are no obstructions between it and the satellites. From time to time you may want to purchase additional maps for other parts of the world. I believe the Magellan 310 comes with only street maps for the United States. There are some situations where you don't need maps at all. For example, if you just want to find your way back to your car, you can mark the car's location and the device will "point" you back car (or hotel).

This unit has two modes: (1) a regular vehicle mode; and (2) an RV Mode. It is easy to change between the modes and whenever I do so, I find that the route changes, sometimes considerably. I have no idea what database Magellan uses to compile the routes, but they seem fairly accurate to me.

No it doesn't have navigation. Buy the snv695n, that is the one with navigation and also has customizable backgrounds, not to mention you can set your car logo to appear when you turn the car/stereo on. The Sdn695t was a waste of money, it's aux background is nothing but an ugly Orange screen. Spend as little more but get something nice.

Anyone who has purchased this: Can you please tell me how the software is? Does it glitch? Is it slow or fast? How does the navigation work? Is it completely different then Google Maps?
