My husband has wanted sat nav for ages but i always refused to buy him it until it came down in price, but iv been keeping my eye on the price of these things and had noticed a big drop in price, so for his birthday this year i bought him the Navman F20, he was overjoyed to say the least.
I purchased it from currys at £129.99 i was pleased with the price too, but i really was'nt sure what sort of sat nav i should be looking for,but i think i hit the jackpot with this one.
The Navman F20 is so simple to use even my kids could set it up, it comes in a perfect little box and is ready to use as soon as you get it out of the box, in the box you get with the navman F20 a 12v DC car power adaptor,an in-car mounting bracket, user manuel and in car installaion guide, but to be honest we've not had to use any of the instruction manuels.
To use you just turn the stand by button on,and it will bring you up a warning page telling you where to store it and how to use it, just press the green tick on the bottom right of the screen and that will take you to the main page which brings up 6 options my home, new address, places of intrest, favorates , recent address and prefrences which i think there titles explain themselves here we tend to press new address every time we need to use it.
For example if you were going away for a dirty weekend or even a family wedding a long way away just press new address and it will bring you up3 options city/area, post code, and street ,press post code and tap in the post code of the address you want to go to and you will be ready to go.
Fix your navman F20 to the in-car mounting bracket, plug the power adaptor into the navman one end and into the cigarette lighter the other end and your ready for your journey,
You can choose wether you have a male or a female voice direct you to your destination, and it tells you in plenty of time if you need to take a turning the visuals on this are fantastic very bright and vibrant and not to clutterd very easy to follow even if you could not hear the directions.
The navman will also tell you how far you have left to travel and how long your journey should take, it will also tell you your speed in mph,and it also beeps if you are coming up to a speed camera so if you are slightly creaping over the speed limit it will let you know.
This also has buttons that you can press and it will re-route you to the nearest petrol station and the nearest places to park witch is a god send if like us you live in the rural country side and you have to go to a city shopping. This sat nav will also re-route you if you take a wrong turning or go past your junction on the motorway.
the only problem with this is that you dont have a house charger with it,you dont really need one as it charges up on your journey,but you can buy them off thre internet for about £10 I would reccomend this to anyone it is excellent value for money, and i now find we are more adventurous in the car and go further afield on family trips out.
