The Initial GD-70X Vehicle Navigation System is the ideal car set-up for the avid traveling family. Combining a GPS-based navigational system with a DVD/CD player and a 7-inch color LCD, the GD-70X not only keeps the adults on the right path, but it also keeps the kids entertained. Complete US and Canada maps, as well as a map database with over 2 million points of interest (POI) are included on DVD for quick and convenient reference. A built-in SD card slot gives you 250 MB of storage space for your map downloads. Plus, a GPS-based detour memory feature will keep you heading in the right direction, with voice-guided directions helping you make your way. A day/night mode function and a touch-screen display make it easy to keep on track, as well. Staying on course doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice the entertainment of your kids. An integrated DVD player, with DVD/CD/JPEG/Kodak Picture CD playback and a built-in anti-shock system, gives you hours of playback options. The system features a seven-inch TFT color display for your movies, an FM transmitter, and an AV output/input that allows you to use portable players. Built-in stereo speakers fill the entire car with full sound, and a dual hi-fi stereo headphone output gives you the option of private listening through your headphones (sold separately).

 GM-701 August 26, 2007

I bought a new mini-van and the dealer talked me into this unit. Over the first 12 months, I had 3 different units. I am into the second year and the unit has no idea where I am and prompts me to turn after I am through the intersection. Last night someone broke into my van and stole it. Poor sucker. Now I can finally get a GPS that works. I wouldn't wish this unit on my worst enemy. The manufacturer is of no help, and the dealer told me that I was stupid like his wife and did not understand computers.

my gps unit worked for about a year. After shelved it for 2 months, the gps software wont load anymore. It gave the error "intellinav.exe is not a window ce application". The DVD player still works though. Tech support as usual, non-existent. Does anyone know how to reset this thing?
I have disconnected the battery and the same problem persists.

I purchased this product for the dual use. The DVD on this unit never worked and when i called the customer service they wanted me to send it back to them and were going to charge me $160 to replace it with the newer version. I asked what would they do if the DVD does not function in the new unit and they did not had an answer to that. This company does not stand by its product. DO NOT MAKE A MISTAKE OF BUYING THIS PRODUCT AT ANY COST!
Don't Buy This August 9, 2006

I purchased this product online from NewEgg (who, by the way aren't so great to deal with either) in April. By May, I got the "Flash" error. Sent the product to Initial mid May and got it back end of July. They claim to never have receive my invoice that i faxed, so the GPS/DVD sat there for almost 2 months. So it's now it's Aug 7 and my GPS/DVD failed AGAIN with the "Flash" message. I am sending this back again and they offered to replace it with the GM-701. From the other feedback I've seen, I'm not sure this is going to be any different result. Takes forever to get to talk to someone at Initial and no matter what their messages say, they will NOT call you back if you leave a VM or email.
Good Luck July 25, 2006

I am on my fourth GD-70X unit in a year. This company is terrible, as are their customer service policies. Out of the year I've owned the unit(s) I've only had a working one for about 6 months. When it works, I love it.
This time they are charging me $99.00 for labor to fix my unit...the only thing is...they're not performing any labor. I am being sent a GD-701 as a replacement. When I pointed out that there was no labor actually being performed for my labor charge, the rep said, "I know sir, I agree it's stupid. If you want we can fix your GD-70X and send that back to you." -Uh No thanks!
When I get the replacement, I'm going to sell it on ebay and go buy a Garmin or Magellan at Best Buy. I never want to spend another hour of my life on the phone with Global-Navigation's lame excuse for customer service and "tech support"
