Advantages: BIG COLOUR SCREEN
Disadvantages: NO VOICE

Street pilot colour map. Also the Street Pilot 2. If you've read my review of the SP3 you'll know that i prefer the SP3 over this unit. And there are a number of reasons for this. Having used this unit it takes you a lot longer to set up the route. For instance if you wanted to go from point A to point B but that you had to use motorway X from junction X1 to junction X2 you would first (assuming your already at point A) locate point B then tell ...
...stay on the motorway to X2. Now that doesn't sound so bad, but what if you had 20 different turnings to navigate. It would take you quite a while to input them all into the unit. This is where the smart route planning of the SP3 comes in. This unit also has no voice guidance and is therefore somewhat hazadous to the average car driver. For more information on the other things this unit can do see my review of the SP3 (Street Pilot - Street Level) ... Read review

Advantages: touch screen and keys, differnet route settings, simple to use

The navman ICN 520 sat nav is a basic sattelite navigation system(sat nav) that is for those who do not drive a lot and want a simple to use and basic sat nav. Its mainly operated via the buttons on the right hand side of the screen but tries to incorporate a touch screen. The good thing about this sat nav is that it is not just a touch screen so for those drivers who may not be used to a higher level of technology it is very easy to use. I first ...
...blind you but on this, Navman has not done a very good job. Overall this sat nav is very easy to use and is welcoming to users of all ages from the younger generation for which a touch screen has been incorporated, to those who are slightly older for which the buttons on the right hand side make navigation around the sat nav easy. ...

This new GPS system is Tom Tom high-end version. The Tom Tom Go 930 drives you where you need to go with accurate directions and new navigation tools such as voice address entry and advanced game guidance!

Advantages: Fast route calculations, clear voice prompts, great screen
Disadvantages: Silly features, battery life

The tomtom 730 is a great device however the extra features are really not needed for the extra cost of the device. For example putting the audio prompts through your car radio is great but with a loud and clear on-board speaker whats the point? I have an mp3 player so the mp3 player on the tomtom is no use to me. The list rolls on. On the other hand it is fast and precise at calculating alternative routes, the lane guidance system which tells ...
...good but the higher cost for the features which to me personally are no use is silly as the tomtom 530 offers the same performance without some of these features at a lower price so I think I would recommend the 530 unless you will find these extras of use. ... Read review
