This review is from: Navman F20 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorI got this GPS at Office Depot BF special for $200.00 and I'm more than happy with it so far. It does not play MP3s, JPEGs or wash your car like some other high priced GPS units but it excels in its primary function as a GPS unit. I have tried atleast three other major brands of GPS units but none of them match the user friendliness of this unit. Pros:Extremely fast startup time, GPS lock and re routing time. Routing has been pretty accurate.Bright 3.5" touch screen.Very intuitive interface. Very colorful, pleasant and uncluttered maps and graphics.Big icons on the touch screen.Nice shape and build quality.Internal antenna.Charges through regular mini USB port. Hot buttons for frequently used features such as volume, route, menu, parking and gas stations.Cons:No TTS, BT or FM transmission. For the price, I don't think its fair to ask for these premium features.Not too customisable like changing the backgrounds etc. Volume is a bit low some times.Only 1.4M POIs.No software kit as mentioned by the other reviewer....

This review is from: Navman F20 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorI was able to buy the Navman F20 for $199, after rebates. For that price, it is a good basic GPS system. Not a lot of frills or customization options, but in the three weeks I have owned it, it has worked well. It does take a minute or so to acquire a GPS signal, but works well after that. With the touchscreen, it is actually easier and quicker to program addresses than the joystick operated nav system on our Mazda RX-8. I've already found that the battery will last over 3 hours of continuous use. I plan to buy the memory cards for Europe and see if I can use the Navman to navigate on foot around Rome and London. Walking on foot in my neighborhood, the Navman worked well. Has anyone used a portable GPS to get around Rome or London? Any advice? The only problem with using a portable GPS system in a car is where to mount it; windshield mounting puts it too far away and in the glare of the sun. I finally put it on the speedometer! That puts it in your line of sight and at the right focus range. I drive at the speed of other cars anyway....
