Ferret driving aid
 
Hi all
While I am considering some real time driving aids for the Ferret I can across the new Garmin Nuvicam which is a gps coupled with a fairly wide angle dashcam.
It has a 6inch HD screen and has a movable camera..
I guess hooking one up can actually assist in traversing narrow corners or tight spots... Also has a rear view connectivity upgrade

What do you think? Is it a worthy update?

There is plenty enough vision in a Ferret if driven properly.

Learn to drive one first and then you can think about adding things but frankly you risk the distracted driving ticket in my viewpoint.

You are trying to correct a perceived lack of vision which does not exist.

Mirrors and spatial awareness will correct that.

Forward....ever forward. You will have no problems.

Backing up can be a different story, but as with all armour, a ground guide is worth his weight in gold.

I agree with Robin...plenty of vision and learn to drive it before considering any driving/vision aids.
