In-dash NAV unit with topo's?

[Corbet]

I've got the DDX514 installed now with the Sirius connect for my Stiletto. NAV is next to go in but I still need to source some wiring supplies. Probably be a few weeks before I have the time again.

So far I like the unit. Easy to use and read from drivers seat. Only complaint so far is with the Sirius control. I have not figured out how to access my music library on the Stiletto. And the controls on the Stiletto become locked when connected to the head unit. If I can not gain access, I will be very disappointed with that feature.

Another re-kindle...

Has anyone had any luck with the new Kenwood DNX9960 and Garmin Topo maps? I'd like to install a head unit that will run topo's and I know that the earlier Kenwood head units will do this but I can't find anyone who has verified that the DNX9960 will allow topo installs.

As far as I know everyone with a Garmin based Kenwood has be able to run the topo's so you should be fine.

I am yet to load topo on mine. Life has been in the way of such things lately. But everything is been connected for a while. NAV, Bluetooth, Ipod, Sirius.

Does anyone know of SD Micro based software that will run on a "Windows CE" based head unit? I have software that runs and works fine for the highway and roads but when I am in the desert I like to use the "bread crumb" type tracking that shows where I have been and the software I have does not have this function. My current software is from a German company named Polstar and I run PolNav.
