| Posted by rogerthegooner Navman S80 map updates I've had a Navman s80 for a while, but only just decided the maps & safety cameras need updating. On the navman stores I can only get Navdesk desktop DVD with 2009.2 Map for my s80. Do I also need a map unlock key to use this? If so that's another bloody £40! Plus about the same for the safety camera updates.... ...surely there's another, cheaper way to get map and safety camera updates to put onto my navman s80??!! Please help! thanks! |

Roger, you have 2 options: Option 1: Buy another brand Option 2: Camera updates |

| Posted by Flyinspanner Navman I bought a Navman, registered it, when time for supposedly free update, their system didn't recognise me. e-mailed support - no reply e-mailed sales - no reply tried phoning Halfords were the seller but weren't interested as the unit works, "the upgrade is nothing to do with us" I will never get another product from Navman/Mio I tell all to but a TomTom or Garmin -as I will next time. |

| Posted by ergoformdesign Xperia Vehicular Navigation System I have a Navman s80 also with outdated maps. From the comments I've just read, think I'll give Navman a big swerve. I have a Sony Xperia z3 compact, which was good for navigating for the first six months of use. Since then, it seems to have contracted Alzheimers as the GPS doesn't work and it can no longer show me how to achieve destinations. So I'm hunting for a reliable, dedicated navigation tool. Thanks for this forum. Cheers, Marcus vM. |

| Posted by MikeP S80 vs Garmin I have an S80 and it worked fine for some years. I decided to change to a Garmin a couple of years ago. Now I am utterly disappointed in the Garmin after a recent French holiday. It kept sending us off down minor roads that were much slower than the intended main roads and of course were much bumpier. So I don't recommend Garmin either. I'm trying to resurrect my S80 but as there seems to be a dearth of map updates I may have to buy a new device. |

| Posted by LIONDAD OLD GPS SAT NAV MAPS Reason why Navman,Tom Tom, Road Angel, etc stop updates is to reduce resale SECOND HAND markets of their products. As I sell old Tom Tom after about 24 months, get a good resale second hand price for it, and buy a new TomTom with bells and whistles. FOR NEXT 2YRS and person that buy my old Tom Tom gets good device that last them for yrs as well. YOU CAN'T EVEN RESELL THEM NOW AS TIME MOVES ON AND OLD MAPS BECOME TOTALLY UNRELIABLE. |
