I purchased a Navman ICN 630 in May 2005, After a little research I found out that you can insert you own points of interest into the Navman (e.g Road safety camera database). I looked for advice as to how to do this and found out that you need Smartst version 3 installed on your unit. Hey this was a brand new unit surely it must have the latest software, WRONG! I contacted Navman, Smartst Version 3 will cost you another £80, I protested at the aditional charge as there is no details on the packaging warning of additional charges for upgraded software. Lets face it if you purchase a new PC you would expect Windows XP installed not 98. And be warned £80 is for one country only!, more areas cost more again. I contacted Navman several times regarding the above matter, I also questioned how they can sell smartst version 3 software for the ICN 620 model for £20 yet they were charging £80 for the same software for the ICN 630 series. (I read on a forum the ICN 620 was much cheaper as it was riddled with bugs). Anyway after contacting them several times they agreed to sell me the upgraded software for £45 and someone from their online store would contact me with the offer. Navmans online sales team never contacted be despite sending them several e-mails. I sold the unit on e-bay at a loss and bought a TomTom instead (in my opinion its better anyway). Buy a Navman at your own peril, but don't say I didn't warn you. Navman SUCKS!
I bought a Navman ICN 630 V2 just over two years ago it cost over £700. I recently tried to update the maps and software to V3 but Navman now state this unit is obsolete and no upgrade is available in any form! After complaing to Navman they offered to sell me an F40 model (for a higher price than they are available on the high street) but only if I sent them my old ICN630 back to them! Needless to say I told them what they could do.
Dont ever buy a Navman, the service is rubbish. I bought a Sony NVU-51 (UK & N/France) for not much more than the Navman updated maps would have been, if they were available.

The Navman 630 V2 was purchased in July, 2004, cost was a little under
£900. I have used this unit in the u.k, also in europe. I have found it to be pretty reliable in getting you to your destinations. What it is not able to all ways do is, find destinations by post codes, like anything else that you buy electronically it, is never 100% perfect. I liked the images on the 3.8"
screen, they were in most cases very good although, in bright sunlight ... ...Navman is this, and what a gripe. Having paid almost £900 not quite three years ago, I find out that this Navman 630 V2 is obsolete and that there is no upgrade software,
ie,V3 or SmartST 2005 or maps available. What a con. No doubt if, they keep software downloads available they perhaps wouldn't sell quite so many new units. I am in the market now for a new sat/nav and I can tell you it will NOT, be a, NAVMAN. ...

This review covers the navmaniCN 650 which is the newer model of navmaniCN630 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...
