No regrets

Does what it is meant to do. Surprisingly stable given than it isn't secured to the dash. The mapping software is good. It covers the whole US. I tested it against my preferred local routes and it tended to use main roads rather than short cuts. Also, one time, the route recalculation algorithm tried to send me right when it should have sent me left. I suppose this is a function of the GPS itself rather than the mapping software. To be fair, it has been pretty reliable apart from that one event.

Overall, if you have a handheld GPS and want to expand it for road trips, I think this is great. I don't regret spending the money I did on it.

Nav Kit makes it safe & convenient

The Auto Navigation Kit made it easily viewable, included a routable City Select North America map that was upgraded for free by Garmin, and maximized the unit's use as a portable GPS. The weighted portable base keeps the unit on the dash, where you place it. The cable is plenty long enough.

I didn't give it a 5 only because I had hoped the original Vista would not need additional maps, but since it does, the Auto Nav kit completes my needs.

Garmin eTrex Vixta Cx

I bought this for my eTrex Vista Cx. This kit is well worth the money. It works great when I'm on the road and I find the Vista easy to read and follow even though it is small. My wife and I plan on taking a road trip across the country and this will definitely come in handy. I also bought a 2 GB memory card and I would suggest doing the same if you're planning on using the road mapping software included with this kit. With a 2 GB memory card you can fit all of the maps on the North American CD and not have to worry about adding or deleting anything to make room.

In other reviews I had heard that this kit wouldn't work with the Vista Cx because of the memory card but this is untrue. I e-mailed Garmin before I bought this kit and they confirmed that it would work with the Vista Cx and it definitely does.

Anyways, great add-on for your compatible Garmin GPS. I highly recommend this if you plan on using the GPS for any travelling. The mapping software makes it pretty hard to ever get lost again.

Garmin Auto Navigation Kit

What a wonderful gadget to have. My husband and I have tracked our hikes while hunting, traveled all over Utah, Florida and Georgia since we purchased this kit. It has been a great asset when it comes to finding your way back in the mountains, finding hotels, restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, malls, places of interest, everything and anything you can imagine... Thanks to the review of a previous buyer we learned that we could contact Garmin to get the upgraded version of the software, we contacted Garmin and within days we had the newest version of the software. The base is fantastic and it holds your GPS steady on your car's dash under normal circumstances, and by this I mean that you might have to hold it if you make any rough turns. We definitely give this navigational system a 5 star review....

Now we only have one problem. We have two cars and one color screen GPS. I have asked my husband to get me an upgraded version of his Garmin Legend CX (very convenient system to take with you anywhere), but now I want one that talks and has a bigger screen... By the way, Garmin allows you to install the software to two different units, without having to buy an additional licence to be in compliance.

Hope this review will help make your decision.

Update: January 2008 - We continue to love our GPS Navigational kit. About two months ago we visited the Garmin website to check on another product and we were promted to order the newest software update which we did and didn't even have to pay for shipping. Garmin does take good care of its clients.

Great advantage

Wonderful mapping capabilities from the software.
The dashboard mount works wonderfully well. We are using it with the weighted mount, no physical attachment to the dashboard.

Created specifically for the eTrex Legend Cx, this Garmin Auto Navigation Kit includes everything you'll need for every road trip. It features Garmin's City Navigator North America software, auto mount, friction mount, dash mount and 12-volt power cable. If you're bound for California or Minnesota, don't mount your Garmin eTrex Legend Cx or anything else with the suction cups attached to the windshield--it's illegal to have suction cup mounts in those states (yep stash that radar detector away, too.)
