Hey AskBrandmotion guy
I am seriously considering your nav system for the F150 but after looking at the magellan site the 760 has been discontinued. This is the model you use in your kit right? Or are you also upgrading to the 800?

Carnivore,
The Roadmate 800 has been discontinued as of this month. Magellan support is in India and it is horrible. I bought a Magellan 800 last year and tried to install the map update that was just released and it wound up bricking the unit. That will be the last Magellan product I ever own. Best of luck if you buy one.

I just updated my Magellan unit (in a Brandmotion F150 housing) 5 weeks ago without a hitch. I do agree about their support though, you can barely understand them.

well that is good to know. the fact that their support is in india sealed the deal for me. I was going to get the in dash pioneer units with the ipod harness but they don't work with any ipod built in 2007 which is crap. im not sure who impissed at. Apple for always changing their **** or the companies that can't keep up.

I hate to hi-jack this thread, but does the Tom TomXl show smaller roads or does it only show major hwys? Thanks.

ill bet anything that all garmin products are similar in that the most you zoom in, the more detail you get (neighborhood roads). I would be REALLY shocked if it didn't
