Do you still swear by your Kenwood nav? Drop your model number and your favorite MapFan feature in the comments below. Let’s see how many of us are still out there keeping the art of the dedicated dash alive. Stay tuned for next week’s post: “How to sideload custom POIs onto your MapFan SD card.”
We’ve all been there. You punch an address into your phone’s navigation, mount it on the vent, and pray the battery holds out. But for those of us who demand a seamless, integrated, and frankly premium driving experience, there is another path. It’s called Kenwood, and the secret sauce is MapFan.
When I see another Kenwood splash screen light up at a stoplight, I know that driver cares about quality. We are the audio/video nerds. We are the road trip planners. We are the MapFan Club. Look, no system is flawless. The point-of-interest database isn't as massive as Google's (whose is?). You have to actually plug a USB into your computer to update it, which feels a little retro. But for driving —actual, point-A-to-point-B driving with zero lag, zero dropped signals, and zero distraction—MapFan wins every time.
