Dear, oh dear, oh dear!! What do Navman think they are playing at? They have produced good quality 'cheap and cheerful' satnav systems but when making this model it all went wrong. Although the design is simple the menus and functions are not. The button combinations needed to perform simple tasks and seriously long. The post code detecter is absolute trash. I can type my home address which is in London but the route takes me to France if im not careful. However, this doesnt happen with other models, so whats going on there? Have they abandonded what little good they had gathered from previous models? Well obviously!
Another thing that really gets on my nerves are the voices. Despite the fact you are lucky enough to have a choice (male or female) the voices go right through my head. The number of times the voices say the same thingy is unreal. Before a roundabout they can tell you which exit to take up to 7 times. No jokes!
Despite this the battery life is resonable and the in car charger is obviously a must for any satnav system. The durability is immense. On numerous occasions i have dropped the system but still works perfectly fine. Well as well as it had in the past anyway.
All in all, the idea of satnav is brilliant no-one can argue with that but whatever you do don't buy this one. Honestly don't!!!
