Right, the point to having a carputer is hobby, upgradeability, options and the obvious cool geek factor. Plus price, for the price of a decent nav system your looking at about $1500.00 and any PC software is actually superior to most single aftermarket nav system. Not to mention all other mentioned things of a carputer. YOu can have a pretty sweet carputer setup for under $1000.00, mine is about $700 as it is now not including a head unit amp or subs. But you add those in to the game you could be at about $1300.00 for a kick *** system, great cool factor and a show winning car. Plus once you wanna upgrade your nav system, all you need to upgrade is the software that only runs an average of $100.00. Try getting a BMW,Pioneer or any other proprietary system nav disk for that, that covers the entire US and Canada... YOU WONT
