Avensis Satnav Options

[freelancer]

Evening all...

Neither of my two local dealers seem to be able to answer my questions on the relative merits and demerits of the new Avensis standard turn-by-turn satnav against the upgrade with the 7" colour LCD screen. Info on toyota.co.uk and toyota-europe.com is pretty thin on the ground.

One dealer says the 7" version is touch-screen which i think is incorrect. Although i have read somehwere that it is voice-activated as well as being able to use the IR remote. don't know if this is tue though.

I am familiar with the Blaupunkt (standard stereo fit) turn-by-turn and the Lexus (IS200) Navigator and would like to know how Toyota's two offerings compare to these in terms of features and data quality.

Are there any dealers or technology freaks like myself here who i can discuss these features with or could post a link to a review or proper technical data? is there a Toyota "technical support" contact i can speak to?

Kind regards.
