| Posted by Darchorse Warning - buying Navman I am a Taxi Driver. Navman has to be to the most expensive brick you can buy. It cannot be used in a cab as it can take up to 16 mins to calculate a route. It has many faults - some listed below. Does not switch on at random- yes I checked the battery Loops between screens at random times Decides randomly to spell out street names letter by letter. Maps are way out of date - Streets that have been changed 10yrs ago are not correct - using 2007 maps can take up to 16 min to calc a route. can take up to 14min to recalculate an incorrect route you cannot set a default city - this means you have to select the city each and every time - lots of key strokes for nothing. They have the rudest, most ineffective tech support available on the planet. Mine is an S80 unit. Read all these forum posts and save yourself some money and multiple headaches. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! |
| Posted by ielau Re: Warning - do not buy Navman You probably have some problem with a weak GPS signal reception. An inexpensive external antena would sort out most of your problems. Keep your POI's up to date. |
| Posted by mapmeister you're dreaming NAVMAN is one of the best along with Navigon, Mio etc. Most taxi drivers settle for cheap yumcha so go join em |

| Posted by on437 S80 S80, total crap. Slow, inacurate ,turns off at random ,out of date maps I can't think of a worse thing to have in my car apart from the wife, at least I can turn the S80 off. :wink: |
| Posted by warjpascoe4 Re: S80 I totally agree. I have S80 also and have same problem with turning off at just when you need it. Then takes for ever to reload... not the best when in the city. Reg Pascoe |
