The Mopar NavMate system had an original list price of $1800, which did not include installation. The U.S. maps were originally divided into 3 discs (Eastern, Central, Western), one of which was included free with the system (the latest updates now feature 9 discs for the U.S.). The screen is small, and the system is CD based. Many users have stated it is very accurate. Other companies offer DVD based systems with larger screens but some require changing or adding a CD/DVD head unit. Alpine, Kenwood and Pioneer also offer NAV units in the $1000-$2000 and up range. Another popular model is the Garmin Streetpilot III, which can be used as a portable or dash-mounted system.
