ViaMichelin X-960

ViaMichelin Navigation X-960 New Edition - Good time to buy. I recently had a scare, when my trusty TomTom threw a wobbler, and I thought I would need to replace it, I had chance to look around, and remember looking at this particular model, mainly because it looked like my TomTom, I assume it was a copy. I am not saying this is a bad thing, let someone else decide what the customer wants and then provide just that.again, I am pleased to say my ...

Review of ViaMichelin X-960

...I have found the ViaMichelin X-960 to be an excellent piece of kit. I'll get the annoyances over with first - the first one has to be that there's only two voices to choose from - an irritating schoolmistress and an american lady - both voices get on my nerves after a short while. The second annoyance is that sometimes it tells you off for speeding when you're not - most commonly on an urban 40mph road. Bar those two annoyances, it's a great piece ...
...route somewhere, which takes things like "scenic roads" into account when planning your journey, something that I find a real bonus. Overall, I would recommend the ViaMichelin to anyone that wants a satnav. It's already proved its worth to me in the month that I have had it. ...

Review of ViaMichelin X-960

WOW! What a piece of kit for the price. Worked straight out of the box, software a little fiddly to install due to vague instructions but once you are past that stage it is sooo easy to update everything free. Nice compact size to boot. Simple display with time, speed, distance etc. and loads of options for sounds and displays, loads of warning options (speed/ cameras/ schools/ blackspots) and all the Michelin POIs you could need. Also has an MP3 player, which I won't use and also includes a 1gig SD card which I am unlikely to ever fill. Paid £99 inc delivery from Littlewoods catalogue but it can be got a little cheaper. ...

Review of ViaMichelin X-960

I've had a few different sat nav brands over the years but my favourite by far is ViaMichelin, (this being my second). Owners can update safety camera locations for FREE via the website, it has a built-in MP3 player, and a bright clear screen, speech is in my opinion the best I've heard on a budget sat nav, even at half volume I've had no trouble at all understanding the clear friendly female voice (she even lets you know when to exit a roundabout ...
...Another great feature is the verbal warnings and reminders that a "speed check" is approaching and how far away it is (in yards or metres), some other sat nav's just bleep (usually when it's too late) then charge you an annual fee for the service. This does not have a "take me home" feature but I think this is for security reasons in case a thief gets hold of the device, it does have a list of most recent visits in which your home address will be ...
