NAV!!

The nav is in and it's awesome! I freaking love it. Friday night we decided to get started on it and before we knew it we were hot and heavy into and before long it was done. It took a little over 4 hours but we had Saturday set aside to knock it out too. The guys on the evo forum said it takes forever and some spent 10 hours on it. Byrd rolled in to help with the dremel action. He is really good at it and why waste resources when you have them? :)

Here she is in all her glory.
Did ya notice the fake warning screen? It's a fake warning about a turbochaged car, pretty funny. Changing the loading screen is super easy.
This is the main root navigation for the unit.

I have already be digging around and uploaded new point of interest icons! It's funny to see windows running like that. It uses windows CE, so I have a little PC in my car. Hitting the buttons in the windows enviroment is super hard, and I didn't realize there's a stylus til after.

I couldn't be happier. The ipod connection works great, the nav works like a nav and the bluetooth is awesome! The voice recognition is pretty awesome. Just tap the big silver button and say play aritst so and so and it works. The VR for phone dail is a little buggy, you have to say the actual number, but you can also use the unit to nav through your contacts and that's pretty simple.
