Advantages: Gets you there, is upgradable Disadvantages: Downloading can sometimes be slow
Having recently purchased my Navman PiN 570 and having used it for a few months I discovered that some streets were missing from the mappingsoftware. A quick visit to Navman's website soon remedied this problem. I simply followed the easy instructions to update my NavmanSTsoftware to the 2005 version. After a few clicks and a few minutes the software was installed on my PC.
After running for the first time I was asked to complete some simple questions and to connect my Navman PiN to the PC. Once this had been accomplished it was just a case of re-entering my original software serial number to verify my details which I had previously registered with Navman.
The software comes as a package containing 2 parts and is very user friendly. It is very similar in style and menu system to office or something like that, with a menu system ...
roads for police vehicles etc. My trusty SatNav had been trying to make me rejoin the M25 via one of these such access roads. Unfortunately, not only are they for authorised vehicles only, they also have padlocked gates to prevent abuse by desperate victims of SatNav misguidance. So once again, I had to strike off into the countryside until I was far enough away that it would find me an alternative route. That goal achieved, I was back on track and arrived home in slightly less time that it had taken me to get there.

It came as part of my 4410 GPS bundle, but for the sake of making the review a readable size, I've split it into two parts. The bundled software is covered here and a review of the hardware and associated bits is ...
Advantages: Lovely maps and Intuitive Disadvantages: 4-digit Postcodes and POI alerts are just not good enough

One thing I really like about the Navmani520 software is the ability simply to draw an ?avoid area? directly on the map screen encompassing places that you want to avoid and the route is planned without passing through it. This is great if there are roadworks or your local knowledge about roads in your area allows you to plan a better than the SatNav when left to its own devices.
The iCN 520 uses the same ?camera food? as my Vivitar 5355 ? SD memory cards up to 4GB but I have a 2GB in mine, which is sufficient for maps of; UK, Ireland, and all of mainland Europe to street-level. And if I go on holiday I can archive the SD card onto my computer and use it to store extra pictures taken with my digital ...
