Navman iCN 520

[m0rk]

Has anyone had a play with one of these?

Hellfrauds have them at £189 at the moment!

Looks like 5 digit Postcode, but knows streets & houses - so I guess it'll narrow down

Includes Europe too (on CD)

I'm a Tomtom man myself so not got experience of these. You've probably researched yourself but manual here:

A friend bought the Navman even after trying our TomTom and found it really disappointing especially the limit on the 5 characters for the postcode.

It only runs some version of windows mobile, and there are hacks out there to turn it back to a PDA the you can install the TomTom PDA software if you want.

I've used Navman units in the past, only looked at this one mind, but don't like them.
I picked up a TomTom One for £175 - ok its not brand new but I'm not complaining for that price! They are £220 new, but using some clever codes from the link you can get one for £204 inc delivery.

Do the Tom Tom one's support 'borrowed' Europe maps still?

That's one appeal for this navman

I've got a Medion Sat Nav, very good, slimmer than the Tom tom with same size screen.....

Tom Tom seems to have a slight edge on displaying fancy colours etc....

Does it have Euro cover? or the option to buy it?

I found the Navman I used at the weekend a little unstable...

 

[m0rk]

unstable OS, or unstable floating about on the dash?

 

[jetsetjimbo]

OS... application errors requiring a a hard reset a couple of times.

I think it might be because I was trying to get it to recalculate route on the fly which it didn't like doing. Also the post code search didn't seem to work very well.

i think you can buy it on MMC card

there is an option for changing countries during a route planner

Had mine a week now and never had any probs with itdeviated from the route a couple times and it recalculated quite quick.
