Hi
I am installing a CAR PC in my car and need help in choosing the GPS receiver.
I have shortlisted between iRide Technologies. CarPC based Vehicle Infotainment Systems (Rs.3900) and Sat Guide Product Details:: (Rs.4300).

Cost wise there is not much difference between the two.
both appear to be of the same chipset, Acquisition time is the same, Navigation update rate is the same. the Satnav as dual connectvity option USB and Bluetooth whereas the Iride one has connectvity only through USB.

I would like to buy a product which is better and offers more reliability.
I have seen other units on Ebay like GRAMIN but am not sure that what benefits it offers over the Iride and SatGuide systems and are selling at 2-3 times the cost
Please advise what unit to buy
