Also, the video would never play when you start it on F700, it would take about 2-3 minutes to play, on the 5140, it plays instantly.

The Garmin maps GUI might not looks as pretty as the iGo map on the F700 but the navigation functionality is pretty much spot on and always correct.



Did you install the latest firmware? It was slow with the 2.0, but the 3.0 made a significant difference.
I have the Kenwood in my Explorer and it is a great HU, but the Pioneer does have a better GPS. I always preferred the TeleAtlas over Garmin.

Google GPS maps will someday be available in HU's and they will probably be the best.
