VDO Dayton PN6000 In-Car GPS System can be regarded as an impeccable combination of exceptional satellite navigation capabilities and mobile digital television. Without deviating from its predominant task, that is undoubtedly satellite navigation, this gps system lays an increased stress on the multimedia apsects. This fact can be substantiated by just looking into its muldimedia features such as an MP3 player, a picture viewer of the JPEG sort and a number of exciting games apart from the in-built mobile digital TV. These facts on the whole, point the figure towards the not so distant future where all these lesser gadgets merge into a single potential PDA.
The main attraction of this Multimedia GPS system is obviously, its mammoth LCD TFT touchscreen of 5.6” diagonal size. This striking touchscreen is further adorned by Pictogram as well as voice backed route guidance. Apart from being toughened by an anti-glare surface, 2D and 3D projections are facilitated here as well. Another option offered by this device is to switch between automatic and manual zoom. A bundle of European maps are provided here through a 2GB SD card that accompanies the total package.
Navigation with this VDO Dayton In Car Sat Nav System is a memorable feat. The brilliant platform here is the large touchscreen that conveniently highlights each of the other features. Menu languages refer to twenty European languages including English, French and German. Spoken instructions comes in as good as seventeen European languages. This GPS system offers fastest, most economical and the shortest routes apart from putting forth some fine options such as avoiding toll roads, toll gates, tunnels, motorways, ferries, etc. Traffic information is also an additional nicety here, as is smart detouring or determining alternative routes.
The digital television that comes integrated in the VDO Dayton PN6000 Multimedia GPS System, in its turn provides a desired channel list, pioctogram subtitle support, Teletext support, an EPG (Electronic programme guide) and self-conceiving service list. This GPS system derives its power from a 4000mAh rechargeable Lithium polymer battery that provides up to six hours of navigation time and three hours of tlevision viewing time.

There is such a big market for a HGV sat nav and can anyone tell me why it is not easy to get any information on it as i think it would be the best one to have.
did not expect this pn6000 to disappoint with all its glorified technologies but my heart has been sinking since it was bought in Feb this year.
1. It has got a touch screen keypad function for typing in a place. sometime it does not recognises certain places, i.e. the keypad would only highlights the letter it thinks i’m trying to spell of a certain place, however, by doing so, i would be prevented from completeing the spelling of a place i want b’cos it wouldn’t highlights the letter i need to complete the spelling of a particular place! same with the postcode.
2. there were occasions when it’d started ok with the voice guidance but then it’d suddenly went silent and refused to continue with the voice directing…???…in which i’d have to reset it again.
3. i don’t need to use it that often, but when i do, i just wish that it would behave and let me get on with my life! Now – i took it out recently to show it off to a friend but we didn’t have to go far before this wondrous device played up big time! Its battery refused to be charged so the screen just went dead right there – how very embarrasing!
4. later i’ve found out it was the lithium polymer battery that wasn’t working. why it wouldn’t i’d very much like to know b’cos this is after all a spanking new product which i’d bought in february this year?
5. worst still is that i could not find a replacement battery!!! i’d tried the local shops, the internet but why nobody stock it is a big mystery to me. unless a replacement is found the GPS is basically is as good as dead.
6. right now i can say i HATE this dayton pn6000.
