Navigation Unit - (GPS)

Dash cam

For the past couple of years we have had a mini 0807 dash cam and overall i liked it. It was small had a viewing window, had  a few extra features to a small camera and a good picture/video. Unfortunatly it eventually started to die from a circuit board issue which stopped the LCD display from showing and also the video's started to stop and start at their own will sometimes recording for 1min other times 18seconds or less so was time to upgrade.

​

When we went to  get a GPS unit we also bought a Uniden IGO Cam. It has dual camera's for recording forward and backwards of the car and both cameras can pivot to capture more angles. I've set both our cameras to view the front of the vehicle so we get a good scope of  video of the front for when a roo decides to jump out at us. The Uniden we went for because in the past Uniden products seems to be fairly robust and a decent quality. Currently the tests we've done with it so far is pretty good and i'm happy with it. Lets hope it lasts the distance sitting up there in the Aussie sun all day.

Drone write up is currently work in progress

We recently bought a Garmin 67LMT navigation unit. Although i can't fully comment on the performance of this unit just yet because we haven't tested it enough yet i will mention that initial thoughts are that a standalone GPS unit in our experience works more efficiently and accurately than a android app does. You can read a blog about this from here Larrys blog on navigation units 

​

My review of this Garmin is still to come once we have tested it more thoroughly
