[QUOTE=Adrian Fuller]I have PCM 2 on my 996 and Sat Nav on my Lexus RX300 (wife's car)
The Lexus system is much better:
Touch screen
Split (dual screens)
Ability to add place names and icons to the map
Route preview
3 alternative routes to chose from (shown on map in 3 colours)
Voice prompts are better - for example you get "at the roudabout follow M25 towards Heathrow" rather than "please take the 3rd exit on the left at the roundabout" etc. etc.
I have both a Porsche and the Lexus and both are good in my opinion. You can have the split screen in the Porsche if you choose the MAP button instead of the NAV button, you can also get a route preview from the MAP view and a turn by turn list from the NAV view, you can get the same route options by choosing fastest route, shortest route, or avoid motorways, and the prompts are nearly the same in both cars excpet the female british voice option in the Porsche is much better.
