SilverCrest unit from Lidl (formerly MyGuide, formerly iGO)

[AdamDuritz]

Hi there,

Lidl are going to be selling a SilverCrest sat nav unit for 149.99 GBP :

The spec seems very good, especially for that price :

# 4.3” touch-screen display with 65k colours, 480 x 272 pixel & 250:1 contrast
# Navteq‘s Q2 2007 maps of all of Europe pre-installed on the 2GB internal flash drive
# Powerful 400MHz with 64MB RAM
# Bluetooth hands-free speaking system
# Picture viewer
# Movie / music player
# SD / MMC card slot & USB connection
# Voice command
# Average speed limit information
# FM transmitter
# Route planner

From reading on this forum, I believe SilverCrest is a rebranded MyGuide unit, which seems to be a rebranded iGO unit. If that is true, I'm confident that I'll be able to use map and camera data from this site on it, as MyGuide is supported.

Does anyone have any experience with SilverCrest, or a similar MyGuide/iGO unit? Should I be wary of anything in particular when I try it?

Has anyone any comments they can make about this unit? Should it be avoided, does it sound like good value?
