Alpine USB Plug-In GPS Navigation Module Set-Up & Demonstration

[@01hondascott]

do I have to pay a fee for gps service? or can I install this in my car punch in a location and just go free of charge?

[@konjin007]

Google pre-download maps works while offline.

So glad that has worked out for you!! We appreciate you watching and for your feedback!

[@PeteMiller]

Can the USB Nav be plugged into the second USB connection (which might be located in the glove box) or is it required to use the factory USB slot on the dash area? (almost ready to make my Alpine bundle purchase)

[@TrailGridPro]

Yep! It sure can!

[@MattNEuem]

I may have to go ahead and get this baby.

[@TrailGridPro]

You'll LOVE it!

[@alexhorseman111]

Do the maps update automatically over the air or do you have to purchase a map update periodically? How's that done?

[@TrailGridPro]

The purchase includes one free Map update that you can do at anytime.

Cliff, I have seen reviews saying this unit is extremely slow on loading. Some say it takes 4-6 minutes to load the navigation map and that no camera will work while its loading. What is your take on this. I want this coupled with my 509 just purchased from TGP!

[@TrailGridPro]

We haven't experienced that ourselves! I've had some customers who shove this unit in their dash behind the radio, which will provide poor signal and likely impact load times.

Is this usb gps navigation available for other head units , like jvc Sony pioneer etc?

[@TrailGridPro]

It pairs with Alpine head units only.

[@openbat72]

Thank you

If i get an alpine head unit from yall, will this take the place of the gps antenna that comes with the head unit that has to be installed when putting in the Alpine head unit? Basicly can i use this INSTEAD of the original wired gps antenna?

[@TrailGridPro]

Great question! The GPS antenna will still need to be installed for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This nav stick adds native GPS to the system as an alternative to using CarPlay or Android Auto for navigation.

[@JayMax03]

Will this allow you to still play audio while using GPS?

[@TrailGridPro]

Yep! You can play audio while using the GPS stick!

[@rizzay1]

Why would i need this when i have waze google maps etc on my phone?

[@LtDan-rf9mx]

Because it does not work if you have weak or no cell service.

[@TrailGridPro]

As mentioned in the other comment, this device features off-road mode which will operate even when you don't have cell reception!

[@SirWallace2]

When i see the instalation process, this Stick seems to be an android device and this uses android auto but not that obvious. But why should i pay 399€ for that stick, when i can use the iGo App on my Phone with Android Auto or CarPlay?

[@TrailGridPro]

Thanks for commenting! The biggest selling point of this module is for customers who want to add GPS functionality without the use of a cell phone.
