Boss AVA 650

Advantages: VERY ACCURATE VERY EASY TO USE
Disadvantages: A LITTLE EXPENSIVE NO OTHER Disadvantages

...INTRODUCTION As a freelance driver i can be just about anywhere from driving local or driving long distance so i chose the option to buy my self a sat nav. i didnt brealise just how many diffrent types oand models they was out and aftew a long trudge round many shops and a few pubs.. to quench my thurst i decided on the navman 650 and this is my review This review covers the navman iCN 650 which is the newer model of navman iCN 630 V2. First it incorporates the new 2004 V3 software. Includes a number of new features like Topographical maps as one. The iCN 650 also has another bonus in that it has complete Western European maps pre-loaded. Unlike the iCN635 which comes with a 128mb SD card, there is an SD card slot available on the iCN 650 but it's filled with a 'bung'. The reason for this is because the iCN 650... Read review

...Ive had the Navman ICN 659 for three months now, once i got used to the software i found this product to be most useful as it enables you to enjoy hassle free driving and peace of mind as you no longer need to worry about directions. This product is the top of the range offering from Navman. It has UK & 16 Western European street level maps preloaded onto a 2GB hard drive. Screen size is 3.8 inches Speed camera info can be downloaded on to this item as well as other points of interest you may wish to add. It has voice guidance,rerouting & traffic avoidance The remote control almost makes up for the lack of a touch screen but all in all i think that this product is worth the money. No problems to report so far. Listed below is what the item comes with iCN 650 GPS Receiver & Remote Controller SmartST™ V... Read review

Advantages: Excellent screen displays and good voice instructions.
Disadvantages: Distances given in miles and FEET! (Use Km & m instead). No battery.

...After the simple effectiveness of the built-in GPS in my previous car I'm finding the Navman iCN650 a steep learning curve. Once it knows where you want to go it's generally fine (I don't find "turn right in 400 feet" helpful ... whatever happened to yards?) but inputting detailed destinations is time-consuming (a qwerty keyboard without touchscreen). Also it only accepts the first 4 bits of postcodes ... and it crashes if the route involves cross-channel ferries or Zeebrugge. However its got a good memory and you don't have to change expensive CDs every time you cross a european border. Its also very good finding hotels and petrol stations though not so good at finding stately homes. Loading the free speed trap warning system was quite beyond me and I'm not convinced it actually updates its maps via the internet either. My wife... Read review
