Garmin Nuvi 300 - GPS Navigation System With UK MappingCustomer Review: GPS Newcomer
I bought this unit based on the reviews throughout the net. I am a complete newcomer when it comes to GPS systems, having never used one before. Used my Nuvi 300 for the first time in anger yesterday and it worked like a charm. Got me to my destination on time, with absolutely no hiccups along the way. Even when being diverted around roadworks, the Nuvi recalculated within yards and I continued along my journey. This really took the stress out of finding an unknown address.
Great product, would thoroughly recommend it.
Navman iCN330 - GPS Navigation System with UK Maps
Navman iCN330 - GPS Navigation System with UK MapsCustomer Review: OK - unless you live in NI.
This claims to have \'UK maps\' what it actually has is a GB map and a supplementary map of Northern Ireland drawn from memory on the back of an envelope by someone who had visited Belfast some time ago. It is dire: even when it recognises the placenames it is often wildly inaccurate. It takes you along the wrong routes and routinely issues misdirections. I was once told to \'go to the nearest road\' while driving along a (twenty year old) twelve lane motorway into the centre of Belfast. I have used this in England and Scotland and it is OK, but for this part of the UK you may as well use the map on the back cover of a European atlas. Buy one of the Garmin Nuvi boxes instead.
Customer Review: Fantastic Budget Sat Nav
This is the 1st Sat Nav unit I\'ve owned, however I\'m a bit of a consumer electronics geek and I know what to expect from a good product. This budget sat nav really blew me away. I bought one in the USA (with USA maps, of course) for a 2 months road trip around America.
The mapping data (for the USA) was VERY accurate and I was most impressed. In 2 months of constant daily use it only crashed once. The lack of a touch screen didn\'t seem to hinder me at all. It is VERY simple to use. A major bonus is that you don\'t need to use a computer to reload different maps as you move around. It\'s all stored on the supplied 2GB memory card! It\'s sturdy, the dash mount is secure and ... well ... I really can\'t fault this little unit. I\'m indebted to navman for getting me out a few scrapes when on my trip :).
Thanks Navman!
