I highly suggest to stay away from Rand McNally navigation systems. My moho came with one and it is awful. Shame that a well known map maker can't develop a decent nav system.
I like Google maps and have been using it on my phone for years. The problem is, I have yet to find a reliable holder to hold my phone while using it for mapping. The Vent mounted holder just break the air vents. The window suction cup holders fall off. The sticky holders don't stick. I must have gone through a hundred of these holders and never found one that was worth anything.
I have a pile of Garmin, Magellan, and Tom Tom Navigation devices that I won't use because they are unreliable at directions. Google Maps is the best in my opinion. The thing that I don't like about Google Maps is that it requires a mobile data connection. This is fine for my smartphone, but I can't find a single in-dash Android Navigation system that has GSM capability where I can buy a mobile data plan for the system so it will have data service. So that means that I can't use Google Maps or Waze (which I use in large cities to route me around traffic jams). I can get a mobile data plan from Unreal Mobile for only $10 a month, but I need a device that I can put a SIM card in. Why none of these Android in-dash Nav systems has a sims card slot is mind-boggling to me.
