Navman MY55T |
Fast adjustments to routes, easy to use, connects to bluetooth phones, Traffic Information (TMC) available (when it works) and suggestions of alternate routes if traffic problems |
TMC drops out virtually everyday requiring restore to factory defaults |

Navman My50 Series |
The Navman My50 has the live traffic update.
has better update of the safty alert and it is cheaper compare to the other major brands in gps.also it has good amount of POIs,Has big screen compare to the other brands.It shows several Routing options like sortest, easiast, economy,and fastest. |
The touch screen of the navman My50 is hopeless and not working properly.also the software is not user friently for example to find address you have to type the street first and then search all the datas for the city and so.
also the software stuck most of the time when you try to review the applications, and even thhough it was told that it shows the road speed limit it is not showing that in the Australian modals. Also the software is useless in showing the safty cameras as some time it is failling to alert and showin the sign but no audio even it is activated. Even though the TMC is activated and giving the traffic update the software is not having the ability to change the route on its own.The Navman has capacity to local search through internet of the Phone but When I connect the Nokia 6220 or My sumsung Omnia both are not pairing with the navman inorder to navigate in the google local pois
Also the rerouting calculation of the Navman is slow for me compare to the Route 66 windows mobile software. Even though there are several routing options When you Select shortest options in long distance the Navman take you through small lanes including private Lanes sometimes from the motorway or HWY and come back to the same road later |

I bought my navman n60i to replace a tom tom which i hated..working as a european hgv driver it taken the stress out of finding companies all over europe..although suited to the normal motorist i have never had any problems with it sending me down roads which are just not made for hgvs overall its been very good |
Tmc has packed up a number of times along with the craddle and charger falling apart..all of which have been replaced free of charge by navman |

The bluetooth handfree integration is terrible. You can get it to work but it takes ages to connect and doesnt automatically connect next time you use the satnav. |

Navman F50 |
Basic but reliable. Good directions if you stick to Fastest route. Dont pick shortest or you will end in places where they are still fighting the Romans. Bluetooth is good. Traffic warnings useful. |
Unit let down by pathetic Navman Support. Out of Date Maps and Speed Camera data. Difficult PC interface - has to be main USB outlet. Will not work via a USB Hub. No ability to insert Waypoints (ie Go to A via B, C). No Vista support - have had to keep an old XP PC for Navman updates. Costly postage for Map updates - nearly £5 for an SD card- ripoff. |

Clumsy attachment to vehicle made more difficult by an externally attached traffic module. Poor battery life. This model is a bit dated now |

Mio Navman Spirit 500 |
First satnav, still learning how to use it. Seems extremely good for getting from A to B via C. Have yet to see how the TMC traffic works for real. Adding POI's is good. |
Poor battery life away from car. Will charge from usb on computer, but then cannot use it as assumes data link use. Need to lay it on a flat table top to program routes etc as the touch screen seems to sense pressure from rear also. End of a pen cap works better than finger with smaller buttons on screen. |

A great device with 3D mapping, at a great price. |
The GPS signal can take a few seconds to find your current location, but once its on its very solid. |

Nice Screen size. Good profile. Easy to mount. Needs to have the updates done to ensure reliable operation of Bluetooth. Up to date maps. |
Problems with pre-installed cameras not giving audible alert. No adjustment on distances alerts become apparent. Alerts appear to be late is distances set too short on custom pois |

Navman S300T |
Easy to read map - no more messy colours only shade of greys. Voices is much more human like when gives direction. I like the feature of NOT saying the street name... |
Don’t like the new menu system you will need to drill down a few screen to find the option you want but I guess one will get use to it. Text on menu and map are very small compare to my old Navman S80. The cradle looks pretty cool but the down side is the power connector is hanging loose so you’ll have to try to connect the power to the unit before you slide it into the cradle. The problem with this set up is the cable is hooked onto the back of the cradle and hard to pool out to try to connect the power while you are trying to slide it into the cradle... |

Navman s90i probably some of the clearest mapping around, however ST2008 software not as friendly as the ST2006 was for my previous Navman the N40i. |
Dont bother with Navman subscription as they are slow in being updated. I rely on my Road Angel for that job which is done excellently by Blackspot. |

My device is a Navman F10, very easy to use, not need to be technically minded, easy to follow maps etc. |
Dont download updates on the Navman website or youll lose the voices on the sat nav. |

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 f 20, GPS mouse for laptop and Garmin GPS 50 |
The Navman F20 works well and is easy to use, I prefer the display to other makes I have seen.
I have 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 - but I dont have an average sized car. |
The F20 has sent me down a couple of dead ends and in to a housing estate when looking for a shopping centre but otherwise very good. |
