Toddcan Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Love my brand new Journey R/T. Got it with Navigation package, so it has the screen on the top of the dash. But, I tell ya'.. without touchscreen, the data entry is a PAIN! To enter a location, you gotta spin through all the text with that silly knob.. man alive. When you're used to a GPS touch screen.. the dial is a real chore. So.. Anyone know if you can import POI (points of interest) into the unit? Also... anyone know if you can override the "Safety" feature that prevents you from entering destinations while in motion? I cannot believe (maybe I am doing it wrong!) that you cannot enter a waypoint while you are driving. Or, even search for a gas station, or hotel while the car is in motion. A little window pops up telling me I cannot use that feature while the vehicle is in motion... argh. Yet, I can scroll through all the other toys on the screen while in motion... Also.. on a funny side note.. what do you call your Journey? We used to have a car (Fusion).. and a Mini Van, so we would say.. I'm taking the car, or I am taking the van. Not sure what to call the Journey.. other than "journey" :P Truck doesn't seem right. Van isn't right... SU-Van seems ok Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ual147870 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 PAC electronics makes a product that allows you to use the foward screen and NAV while in motion. It is expensive, though...$299 I think. If you are interested and would like more details let me know, otherwise you can google it.
