I want some opinions from everybody, if you would be so kind. Especially from those that own an RB1 or RB4.
I am torn between which one to buy because they all have their drawbacks, specifically in terms of being able to play a CD while using the NAV given the sole CD player. I have the REC in my Charger, so I am spoiled by its dedicated DVD Player for the NAV disc and seperate CD Player with 6 disc changer, MP3, huge screen, etc.
I like the RB4 given it is newer and a little more feature rich, and CHEAPER, plus it lets you program in your route, then eject the disc and play a music CD. So I have to wonder, from those that have the RB4, does it store extra data from streets near your traveled route so that you can stray off the course and automatically be rerouted without reinserting the CD? If not, does it reroute you if you leave the CD in?
I like the RB1, on the other hand since it has a more square screen and uses the DVD NAV disc like my REC so I could use the same disc for both units rather than buying 2 sets every time an update comes out. But...there is no way to play a music CD and use the NAV at the same time without adding a CD changer at another 300 bucks. And even then, you have to deal with selecting 6 CDs before you even start driving that you would want to listen to.
