Garmin GPS & Backup Camera in 18 year old Jaguar

Bought 'like new' 2004 Jaguar XJ8 sedan that needed GPS, Backup Camera and 6 new radio speakers. The Garmin 86 with BC40 provided most solutions but had to add Bluetooth hardware to connect with the radio. TotalTech saved us hundreds of $$$ and we now have up to date technology in a gorgeous, 18 year old luxury car!!!!!

This is a huge GPS! I don't have problems seeing the info on this one. It's not my first Garmin GPS, so it works like the others I've had.

I like the large screen but I'm having difficulty planning a route that includes intersections as stops. Also, I dont see a way to show a satellite view similar to what google maps shows. I'll keep playing with it. Otherwise it seems to work well and is accurate.

Great GPS! It has all the bells and whistles. Great for going on trips or just driving around town. A little pricey but well worth the money. I would highly recommend

Love it does everything we need to. Connects to your phone so you can get notifications for texts, calls, and other notifications. One nice thing is I’ve you download the app on the app on your phone you can send directions to your GPS from your phone.

So much safer than having to look at your phone maps and no having to deal with Android Auto dropping connection while navigating downtown Portland and Seattle. I only wish I could use voice to text to enter an address or location while driving

It's a lot better than the previous versions that I have the six and the Seven because I definitely use the voice command/ hey Garmin mechanism and this one's a whole lot faster than the other ones. The maps are still a little dicey cuz Garmin is not as good as Google but it does what I needed to do
