Are you on the road to nowhere?
Review of Blaupunkt DX-R 52 Travel-Pilot by
general01
Advantages: direct replacement for your old head unit..removable front panel,great sound quality.
Disadvantages: not portable..costs to refit in another car...not a D,I,Y job,...
...,and also a clear easy to read screen,which constantly points you in the right direction ...also the blaupunkt travelpilot shows the time of arrival of your journey,which is very usefull as well as mileage left to go on your trip..counting down as you get nearer to your destination..
The travelpilot is also ideal for finding petrol stations,airports..town centres,places of interest anywhere! it has memory for our favourite/last journeys too! the traffic message channel keeps you informed of any delays ahead,while the sat nav system will reroute your journey to the best possible route! all at the press of a button! YOU CAN AVOID TOLLS IF YOU WISH..not allways possible i'm sure,but nice to have the option ...Both my drivers like the systems,and get on well with them.Even though,i have heard on the odd occastion,that they have got abit confused...

Blaupunkt TravelPilot in Fords
Review of Blaupunkt Travel Pilot DX-N by
KenW
Advantages: An idea if you really don't know the area.
Disadvantages: Limited, outdated mapping, not so easy to use
...In our brand new Fiesta, delivered this month, the Blaupunkt TravelPilot comes fitted in a unit combined with the radio.
To try this system out, over a period of three weeks, and a total of about 600 miles, entirely within my home county of West Yorkshire, i ran the TravelPilot alongside my own local knowledge of the area built up over 17 years of driving around the area.
To enter a destination it is necessary to go through a menu and a series of entries not wholly unlike entering a text message on a mobile phone. There is a form of predictive texting, which can be quite useful.
The problem I found, though, was that before I could find the way to, say, Huddersfield Police Station I needed to know what road it is in. There seems to be no provision for places like hospitals or police stations as destinations.
Back to the Ato...
