I just saw this release article on the New Honda Compact Navigation 2.0 for Europe. I thought the unit looked awfully familiar, because it's nearly identical to the Garmin nüvi® 3790 series nav unit I just bought. Functionality should be the same, although the non-Honda product wouldn't come with the Honda splash page or the Honda Dealer POI info. But I know the POI info can be uploaded, and I would think the splash page can too. Anyways, I've had the nüvi® 3790LMT now for a couple of months, and I'm happy with it. The nice thing is the resolution is double that of the other Garmin units. It looks like Honda has their own mounting base for the unit, as Garmin goes with their standard slick disk for mounting the suction cup on the dash. But the unit itself appears to be a nüvi® 3790.

I've also added the ecoRoute™ HD. It's a Bluetooth adapter to the OBD port that transmits engine diagnostic information in real time derectly to the nav unit.

I have the 3790 and I loaded the Euro map for our last trip and it worked great. I have not seen the "Honda" version.

 

wow that performance display is BAD ASS. now I really wonder IF it would work with turbo car? That would replace quite a few of my gauges. I especially like coolant temp. I figure the psi gauge wouldnt read past what the oem map sensor is capable of?
