im a long time Xgody boy ,had 3 , but i want to buy a newer one ,updated ,but only if Martin Hunt is on it . Cheers lads/lass
I don’t have one.
Why does it need Martin hunt drive on it?
I got curious so googled it
It’s on the map but street view shows it as church lane and fields.
So.if Google ain’t exactly showing it. Yet doubt any Chinese import will

He probably lives there but has been unable to find his way home for the last three weeks since his last one broke!
martin hunt drive is about a year old and if its on anyones satnav it means the maps have been updated . i dont want to buy a new satnav and get told yeh yeh its got the latest maps but in reality no updates available u get my drift
going back a bit ,to 2013 i joined this forum just to get the lowdown on satnavs . someone tipped me off about XGODY cheap as chips AND good- thats the one for me . Course theres no backup in the motherland and iv not ever managed to do map updates who cares just buy another
anyhoo ,1 of the members on here kindly PM me with an image on his recent Xgody of martin hunt drive so i can order a new un safe in the knowledge the updates are GO
so if you are thinking of going down the xgody route rest assured theyre on top of things back in china

Just update the maps
There’s a Facebook site that has all the info on free and simple .

I’ve got one.
I only keep it for entertainment value.
Routing is atrocious
Does’nt recognise weight limits or bridge heights.
Asks me if I’ve just had 45 mins break…and when I tell it yes…it tells me I’ve reached my drive time limit.
Continually tells me it’s going to switch off,but never actually does.
Best bit is pronunciation

^This^ just update the map from Xgody site, I updated mine about 6 months ago, I’d have a look on it for that address but my daughter has commandeered it.
I have a 2018 Kia Niro and I’ve used the Sat nav in that four times & four times it’s got the address wrong & the postcode 
This Xgody has never let me down yet.
Mines red hot around Birmingham though.
Unless you deliver to houses. Not sure why anyone would need an upto date sat nav.
Yes if your buying a new one would be nice.
Mines a navman about 8 years old never updated it.
Don’t see the point. As not really been that many new main roads built since then.
Yes there’s the odd bypass.
But can soon work my way around.
And if worst comes to worst always got.goolge maps
Or even a road map as a last resort.
As was told.on cpc course a sat nav is a driving aid. You need to use common sense and.not blindly follow.it

Doesn’t common sense tell you to keep your “driving aids” up to date whether paper or electronic though?
It’s all well and good relying on historic knowledge but things evolve and change all the time, I’m not saying you can’t get by without the latest up to date information but if it’s available why wouldn’t you utilize it?
I’ve never updated one.
Mind you…I don’t have a computer.
Google maps is all you need.

Thats the thing about common sence - it ain’t that common .
Bought a new one and it keeps falling off the windscreen, the black mount thing is very flimsy
Not impressed by it
