Rating: Summary: Works Great! Review: I bought this thing after it finally dropped down in price to two hundred fifty dollars. Plus i got another fifty rebate and a free 128 CF card to boot! This thing works wonderfully and quickly locks on to several satellites. i live in San Francisco and the only time it ever loses satellite contact is when I go thru the nearby tunnels but when I get out of it within 5 seconds it quickly locks back on! It tells you your speed, distance to go and will reroute you if you go off course from your desired destination! My only beef is that it doesn't tell you elevation which it could if the software allowed and if it locks on to at least 4 satellites (which it always does). I plan on calling navman and ask them if they plan on updating the software for elevation. This this is so fun and is very accurate and its unbelieve about that i can put every public road in California, Nevada, Michigan and Minnesota onto a 128 Meg CF card! To fit the entire US on a CF card you will need a 1 Gigabyte CF which currently is about two hundred bucks at Costco. Highly recommended for your Ipac. You will have lots of fun!
Rating: Summary: For $300 this is GREAT! Review: Ok, I got this baby and bought 256mb SD CARD. On that card I was able to have downloaded enough maps to go from New York to Florida (about 24 hours) Are you planning to travel more ??? get a 512 sd card. That card cost me [money amount], so no biggy. I love this thing. Now I don't worry if I get lost. If I come to any city, I feel like a king since I know this GPS system won't let me get lost. It takes about 5-15 seconds to reroute. Directions are pretty clear and easy to understand. The only downside of this item is that it takes some time to input the address where you want to go, and I'd also want it to understand my voice and go where I tell it to go. Anyway, [money amount]? What else do you want. I would easily pay [money amount] for this item.
Rating: Summary: Hardware is great, software is bad. Review: I have been using Navman 3450 since they came out. I upgraded my software to SP2, but the maps have major issues. Finding addresses that are located on routes is almost impossible. The problem is that most stores/shopping centers have a route address. There is no option of avoiding a specific road or highway. The worst part (possibly fixed now) is that this unit will tell me to do two u-turns one right after the other for no apparent reason. It made me do two u-turns while going from NYC to Boston on 95... I like the hardware, and if I could get it to work with other software - I would be fine with it. But the Navman software is the weak point. I understand that a new version is being releases... except they want to charge $150 for the upgrade.
Rating: Summary: Great way to make use of an older iPaq Review: I had shelved my iPaq since buying a Smartphone. For $175.00 I turned my dusty old H3835 PDA into a great GPS. Navman 2.0 will direct me to where I'm going right from my contact list. There are a few "tweaks" that had to be made to my contact addresses so that they read the same as the mapping software's stored data. But like most other electronic devices, if you read the documentation you can easily learn to operate this little gem. I really like it! I did make one call to Navman tech support. They answered promptly and were very helpful.
Rating: Summary: Junk stuff! Review: Stay away form Navman. Ratings as follows: Product: Rank 1 - junk - crashes often. Need PDA reboots.(...) Product - want to get back to this one again - JUNK! Plan a reboot at least once daily. Map - 1 - junk - my house is 600+ ft off the road. Actually - my house is on the wrong street. At least I am in the same state. OUtdated software on web site that rarely gets upgraded. Navman - JUNK!
Rating: Summary: Great accessory for the Ipaq Review: Works quite well. Comes with a suction cup for your windshield, power cable to work with car lighter, map software. Easy to install. You can set up favorite destinations or go to the map, click on map and select any spot as destination. Can include or exclude restaurants, hotels, etc. Turn on/off the verbal instructions. Tracks dead-on on the map. Can scale map up or down for details or big picture of where you are going. Pretty fast, usually only has to think 5 to 10 seconds to figure out new route. Will auto reroute if you don't follow directions exactly. Only downside is that the screen is a little on the small side, and not quite bright enough in sunlight. Takes about 15-20 seconds to acquire satellite signals. Sometimes I have to soft reboot to get it to work. Better than buying a new car to get navigation.
Rating: Summary: Great for the cost. Review: The functionality is great. Shows you exactly how many satellites you're locked into. You need atleast 4 for a 3-d signal. Easy 1-touch switch over between map modes, shows ETA and other trip information. Only problem is that its hard to manipulate while driving if your typing in your friends name on the PDA. Also, cold starts seem to take forever but I don't think its ever gone over 2-3 mins. Most of the time it takes about 20-30sec.
Rating: Summary: A Disappointment Review: The sleeve looks great, the car holder is solid and well made, but when it comes to accurate directions . . . Navman is often WAY off. I live in Miami, where major road building stopped years ago. The mapping software is about 3 years behind! The software crashes often, requiring reset after reset. Also, the directions don't tell what side of the street the destination address is on! I'm switching to CoPilot. Although CoPilot doesn't have the awesome 3-D mapping that Navman does, I'd rather know where to look for an entrance and not have so many crashes (PocketPC crashes that is).
Rating: Summary: GPS 3450 Review: I've been using this GPS about 1 week now, and I find that it works splendidly. I've been able to program it with different maps and it always get me to my location without trouble. The re-routing feature is very helpful whenever you wish to avoid traffic jams and deviate from the current GPS route. I gave it only 4 stars because it does not have the 3D map feature as the more expensive units have. All in all I find this to be a very good buy for the price.
Rating: Summary: Average product Review: I decided to buy this Navman product despite reading many negative reviews about the product, because of two reasons. Firstly, this was the only product, I could use with my HP IPAQ and secondly because of the rebate that was promised while purchasing the product. I feel really cheated because I bought the product in March and the rebate form I printed after buying the product said it was good for February purchases only. The product itself is really average too, but I am more disappointed about not getting the rebate I thought I deserved.
