Enjoying the trips
How easy / hard is it to add hema mapping to these units? I am useless at making bits talk to bytes.

I hear what your saying.
The next thing is Digital Tv, with radio , am/fm . gps and reversing camera. oh and not too mention UHF two way radio all in the one unit. NOW THATS WHAT I WANT. cant wait for someone to make this combined unit. Only thing will be is how to upgrade the software of hema maps.

I have a Dig Options unit that came fitted to my 2005 GU IV this unit here http://www.digoptions.com/Nissan_Gen..._p/avnp-ni.htm
It also has the TV function added & reverse camera.
TV function never gets used as you cannot view it while driving (for obvious reasons) & its hooked up to the park brake. There are better things to look at when you are stopped than the TV anyway.
I like the reverse camera.
The major gripe i have with the unit is that its is very difficult to see the screen which is affected by both the sun position coming into the car & also the location of the unit in my model GU, sometimes i have to bend down to look at the screen, generally i will have to do this at stoplights as i mainly have used it for street navigation so far. If out bush i would have to stop. Just doesn't "feel" safe to me.
I find that when i switch functions on the unit any music that is playing either radio or cd get lowered in volume until the function i have selected loads up, which is distracting.
I do not have the 4wd maps loaded but believe they are Ozi Explorer ones.
I am currently looking at purchasing a Hema HN7 for turn by turn navigation & 4wd mapping, purely because of the position of the unit in the car & the difficulty in easily seeing the screen.
Hope that helps.

Great thread. This is probably the thing uppermost on my mind at the moment - which unit to get. With all the Chinese brands out there and the wildly varying reviews, it's a bloody hard decision to make.
I am leaning towards dig option Platinum Series (see http://www.digoptions.com/Nissan_Gen..._p/avnp-ni.htm) and combine that with a Samsung Tab solution as mentioned here: http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...tion-and-Comms.
I love the idea of a reverse Camera (esp as seeing straight out the back of Patrols can be a problem) with the tragic accidents of young kids being reversed over, I almost think it's mandatory.
Would welcome other people's views - it's a nightmare to navigate through! (Boom tish!)

Just went through the Polaris website and found it less than helpful in terms of spelling out which unit would fit a patrol. Do you have a model I could google bigcol?
