Enable to search suburb/town/city via street name. |
Unable to add/edit POIs via device. PC connection required and options still limited.
Incoming SMS displays incorrect messages.
Latest maps, safety cameras and POIs very outdated.

Widescreen, quick to load, custom POIs possible. S30 cannot upload custom POIs from PC |
Moving the map while on a journey occasionaly brings up a context menu that wasnt needed. As yet I cannot find a permanent mount for the device. |

This was the one I wanted. Compared to a Hertz that I used in USA For 9K miles its not bad. Recalc speed is better. Its viewable in car and easily heard. Has anti theft pin security. can easily add POI files. |
Will lock up on dealer demo from new, this can be avoided. Could be better with how to avoid areas and being able to customise a trip. |

Easy to follow, nice sized screen, clear and loud directions for turns etc. bluetooth handsfree works well, |
can be a little timely finding a location, not sure if all gpss are the same. |

Navman S80 works well and has a clear voice guidence, easy to use, light with a good screen |
I find it will not allow me to add POIs or Nav Pix to the main memory. This ia the reason I chose a navman, (Wrong choice)
I have been on the phone to Navman (Australia) Several times and waited up to 1/2 hour and gave up, I have emailed tech support four weeks ago and stil NO RESONCE.
I would never buy a Navman product again just on thier extreem lack of service.
Iam very forgiving, but this is unforgivable for a major company |

Navman N40I, it works as it should in finding places, |
Navman N40I, I would never buy another Navman, the unit works well but the software is pathetic, and buggy, the software for changing things feels like it was written for windows version .0001 and never updated. |

Nothing special, havent been able to compare it with other models. |
Occassionally locks up, have to repower the device to get it operating again. Could be a Windows CE thing. |

Great for the price.
Much faster than the old Garmin StreetPilot 3 I still have.
|
Unable to load safety POI as NO software provided with unit, AS PER other brands.
Have to purchase aconnectivity kit separately, which very few dealers have in stock. |

Navman f 20, GPS mouse for laptop and Garmin GPS 50 |
I only got the navman yesterday so cannot yet comment
had the Garmin GPS 50 for many years (navigation at sea) and although its very old it still does the job very well.
I also have a GPS receiver mouse for my laptop and combined with MS autoroute it does a brilliant job with the advantage of a 17 inch screen, but it is a bit big to use in an average sized car. |

Navman N40i |
* Once started, gives instructions (eg. making a turn in a roundabout) well ahead of time and reminders again immediately beforehand. Pretty smart in making clever suggestions - eg. making a U-turn and then turn left before heading for the destination. |
* A bit slow in initiating - can take more than 1 minute after switch on.
* Car kit can fall off quite easily

A very good reliable unit.
Navpix is a very useful tool.
|
Not so much a problem with the unit.
The mapping supplied with SatNavs needs to be updated, it tells me there is a roundabout at Heatherton and Narre-Warren Rds. This has been changed to traffic lights for at least Five years. |

Navman N60i |
The device being wide screen is great. Very easy to use, download poi to it easily, and easy to see and read while driving, including the voice directions. |
Size could be thinner, weight could drop down as it is a heavy unit, and bulky in the pocket. Biggest problen is with the Navman help centre. I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THE AUST. BRANCH! It took me to speak to a supervisor, for my unit problems to be rectified. NOT HAPPY. But tthe unit is good. |

The odd error on a couple of occasions.
It tells you to turn when you should be going straight ahead. |

Good features, like NavPix where you can take a photo, with GPS coordinates, and use it as a favourite destination. Also handy to have a camera in the car! |
Car mounting cradle difficult to use.
Edit and delete features poor in the unit itself |

Navman N40I |
Recalculates routes quickly, easy to add POIs.
GPS has been good, tunnels obviously kill the signal but it seems to recover quckly enough on exit, reroutes fairly quickly. |
Small internal memory capacity.
Camera a bit of a gimmick.
Poor camera picture quality. Camera sucks, keeps blacking out, need to take it back soon. |
