Welcome aboard!! What year is your Excursion? Do you have a tuner yet? If not you could consider the Edge Juice w/ A2 monitor. It is an adjustable in cab controller for the Juice module that has an integrated GPS system and is also available now with a full color backup camera. I will BEAT any price anywhere in the US. I have one of these in my 2001 Excursion and love it. I havent been anywhere yet that hasnt been on the maps.

Thanks!

BTW with the new adapter cord and your antanea you can use the A2 as a GOS in any other vehicle now as well.

I also have the Edge Juice with A2 monitor and the GPS guided me through many turns on the forest roads outside of Flagstaff AZ a few weeks ago. I could not believe that the unit had all the dirt roads loaded and that it was so accurate.

I added TomTom to my Banks Power PDA, so I control the Tuner, have Gauges, and Navigation in one compact package.

The edge will run circles around the Banks system though. And cheaper. The PDA is nice tho if you need to use one for other things.

Magellen Roadmate 700. Now that I have it I can't live without it. It continuously amazes me with the depth of data it has, especially these back county forest and service roads. There's just no way to get lost, unless you're driving on the sea floor. Get one, you'll love it.
