hi new here, got referred over here by some buddies over at audizine.com

like a lot of people here i am thinking about picking up the D3. just had a quick question about the unit though. does the unit allow for direct touch control of the dvd menus or do you have to go into the unit's interface and go through an "on-screen" remote deal? i searched and found some things on it, but no definite answers.

also i know it has memory nav, but how much of the route does it write, IE: how far outside the map can i go before it needs to be rewritten? also can it write a really long route (IE cross state) in one go?

i'd appreciate any help guys!

thanks

peace

Touch screen does work on dvd menu

When you get off course a little it will redirect your route. You have to go a couple miles off course before it ask you to put in the nav disk.

As long as you stay in the limit of your East nav disk. or west

yes it allows for direct touch... the old ones didn't as far as i know but the d3 we have on display at work does

yeah the D3 allows for direct touch of the DVD buttons, which is much better than have the Z1/Z2 D pad controller

great thanks for the info guys!!
