On opening the package I was amazed at the amount of 'stuff' that came with it. 5 cd's, mains charger,- with several adapters, windscreen mount, usb cable, loads of documentation and an in car charger.

It took me about 5 minutes to work out the basic functions. That was before I even looked at the 'blurb'.

I installed the unit in the car and programmed a trip which I knew that I had to make the next day, the unit crashed. Fatal error..... Not impressed at all. However I had to make the journey and when i got back I started emailing Navman, this went on for about a week, 3 or 4 emails a day. Suggestions as to downloading new system software, erasing the pre-installed maps and re-installing them. All to no success. The unit was returned to navman, I was promised a comfirmation email to confirm receipt, none came. However the replacement unit did arrive.

With the new unit installed it was time to try it out fully. It worked. I previously used a Garmin, I found the navman very easy to use. the 2d and 3d views make navigating easier. The touch screen saves on multiple button presses, The 'boring' female voice can be replaced with a 'boring male voice'.

Preinstalled are 1,000's of Points of interest along with dedicated fuel and parking buttons. These are really good when you need to find a petrol station or parking area in a strange area, nice touch Navman.

The built in camera is great too. You can take a photo of a location and then rather than have to type the address again you can press on a pic instead. These pics are reportedly on a Database on the Navman site. I have not found any. Users proportedly can upload their own pics to the navman site.

Apart from the customer support, or lack of it. The N40i is a great sat nav and i would recommend it to anyone
