Advantages: You will never get lost again Disadvantages: There is no home charger
...xmas and had received a Navman F20 as a present.
I think the sat nav is an amazing piece of kit, and has helped me a lot. (And it gives me somebody to talk to whilst I'm driving long distances : ) ).
When I received the present they were on offer for £149.99 at Halfords, but i know they are cheaper at other retailers. The Navman F20 comes in a small box which contains a 12v DC in car power adaptor, in-car mounting bracket and user manual with installation ... ...decide how you want the Navman to work, eg Male or female voice, fastest time or shortest distance, brightness of the screen, etc etc.
When you come to enter a new address you want to go to, You just press New address, you will then be given three options. City/Area, Post code and Street. Just press post code and the name of the street you want will programme in with the route you need to take. Sometimes it will show a different street name to the ...

The Nuvi 200 offers directions turn-by-turn, text and voice-directed, but not functionality supports text-to-speech. This means that the system will not speak actual street names; instead, will give you more generic directions like, "turn right in 500 feet." The Nuvi 200 also supports automatic route recalculation and includes a detour function if you want to avoid a certain piece of the path given. The maps are available in 2D and 3D view with colors ... ...so north is always at the top of your screen or the direction in which you are driving. A plus and minus icon on the map screen allows approaches inside and out, and there is also a page of information that displays your travel speed, direction, travel time, and so on. The Nuvi 200 has a comprehensive database of POI with all the major categories (gas stations, lodging, ATMs, and so on) and the more specific you can even search for restaurants by ...

Advantages: Quick routing, bright readable screen, customizable, good quality build Disadvantages: Terrible Menu system, hard to change setting
I used 720 for over 6 months of daily usage this is what you need to know. The screen is bright and clear 4.3" LCD touch screen and very easy to read. The screen is customizable, you can download different map colors, customize the readout info, eta, arrival time, etc.. Routing is quick and generally accurate occasionally the routing will not be the optimum way to go , but the final destination is usually 95% accurate. Miss a turn and a new route ... ...software the 720 will update itself with the latest map corrections, a nice feature. Battery life is about 4 hours at 75% brightness setting. The 720 has a SiRFstarIII chipset which very fast acquiring signals. Rarely did I lose a signal. Now the bad part,the menu layout sucks finding the right menu to change a setting is NOT easy compared to garmin nuvi. Overall a very good unit ...

Advantages: Accurate, friendly, system itself is excellent Disadvantages: Couldn't find one yet
I was amazed. It was excellent in almost every way. The accuracy was perfect, the interference is friendly, and the step-by-step direction system was easy to understand. If you accidently go the wrong way, in 5 seconds it finds a new road for you. I get lost easily, but after I bought this, the worries were gone completely. Once, I was going in a way that I had gone few times but it was very unfamiliar. One day the road was on construction. I was ...
