Review: Whilst the Navman ICN-520 sat nav looks great, there are too many niggles; after a few weeks I look at mates with other systems and wish I hadn't been seduced to get this by the offer of a free snooper. Main problems are: The GPS strength is decidedly average. Others get satellite link ups when the Navman is down. Consequently, when the car is in a car park and you come out, you have to drive around lost for 10 minutes before you get a signal - mightly infuriating! Also, it loses its signal around high buildings - did it last week in Manchester which really annoyed! The fact that you have to use a stylus is poor, the Tom Tom is so much easier as you can make quick changes on route whereas with the Navman you have to stop, get the stylus out (to do this you have to take it out of the cradle) and then fiddle around; with Tom Tom and a few others they are all touch sensitive. Then, certain of the functions you have to tap over an over until the unit responds. Finally when you get problems the web site is down. Trouble is, you don't know this until you have typed all your details into the registration section! Oh and finally, when you try to register the product you are asked for a registration key number. There is no number that fits on the packaging or unit. What you don't realise is that you have to go to the Navman site and register there and then you get a product key! |
