User Ratings and Reviews

1 Stars Just won’t Turn ON!
***Update - This Problem is even recognized by the manufacturer

I was impressed at the NavPix technology on reading the description so wanted to give this unit a try even though there is not much review around. When I got the unit everything looked fine and it got the GPS Fix in about 2-3 minutes and even properly located my house. Then tried few POIs and other setting and even drove to an address and it did what it should. Just when I thought this is good buy, problems started.

The next day it just won’t Turn On using the Power Switch. Had to every time Switch off the battery and turn on the battery, then it will go through all the initial set up taking 10-20 minutes to Load the maps, get the GPS Fix etc etc. Immediately I asked for a replacement and it came and that Unit was even WORSE, it won’t Turn ON AT ALL, even using the Battery Switch. I don’t know if it is something with me alone or it happens in most of the units. Customer support won’t even answer the phone!I had to return the second unit and get the Money Back!! Planning to with the Nuvi.

I would suggest not to plan on purchasing one and steer way clear of this. But have to agree it was good when it worked, but that is something which did not happen for me all the time!

3 Stars Fast satellite aquisition
I like this unit. For the Navman N40i, this is a good unit it adquires a gps signal within seconds from a cold start, it grabs a satellite faster than my Mio 520 or my Garmin 350, or Navigon, and quickly in a heavily treed areas. I can not believe how quick it adquires for a older unit. The maps are old and so for there are no up dates yet. Once I got use to the menus I found them to be the better of other units. I like how when you find a POI it gives you the option to save, go or view. And recent or favorites when you select one you got full information about the POI (total mailing address with phone No# and longitude and latitude, but you can not search longitude and latitude. And option to save go or view for recent.

Pros -You can pan in 3D or 2D, you can not with a lot of other units (Garmin Navigon), and from 3D to 2D it keeps you in the same direction you are going. If you drive through a tunnel while navigating and lose the signal it goes to the turn directions list. I find it to have one of the easiest and well thought menus. I like the exterior buttons (parking and gas). NavPix is a good feature that works very well, and it works in the holder and can be used in case of a car accident and marks exact location. Can be set to shut off in specified time when not in motion and it will turn on when car is started. Well constructed. Has a remote control that I purchased $32.00 and worth the buy. I paid $155.00 for the N40i total. Screen works well in full sun because it is set back. Tells you what side of the road POI is on. In and out of holder easily.

Good amount of POIs. POI with city search one of the best to me. I did need to read the owners manual. Good battery life.

Cons -Slow rerouting, speaker could be louder. Needs newer maps. Should tell you to turn sooner at times not all times.

I do recommend but because of the cons I give 3 ½ stars.

3 Stars Nice, but not the best
I recieved this as a gift and have been using it for the past 2 weeks. I have an Honda Odyssey with Nav built in, so perhaps I’m expecting more than I should from this little system, or perhaps I would want more for $300+.

Pros: provides accurate directions, re-calculates pretty quick after missing a turn, screen can be easily seen in bright light (notice I didn’t say read), automatically zooms out when you reach higher speeds, has some neat features like MPH, ETA, portable, battery lasts a few hours, the unit is easy to use/setup, attains GPS within 1 minute (from power on, not power cycle - there is 1 on|off for the unit and another on|off to disconnect the battery entirely. Complete reboot takes 3-4 minutes)

Cons: Screen is too small for fat fingers, street names/driections take too long to focus on|find b/c they are small, street names can clutter screen so it can be hard to read|see upcoming turns, camera is only 1.3M - so don’t count on getting any quality pictures other than the 1″ on the screen, volume is low - don’t plan on listening to directions and having the window down, radio on or kids in the back (it does have an audio out jack), the software that comes with the unit is worthless unless you need to add a map to the system which are already pre-loaded on the unit. It would be nice if you could edit addresses or setup POI via a map software and download it to the unit.

The camera on the system didn’t work when i first used it for some reason. Just a black picture on the LCD. I had to power cycle it (cut off the battery via separate on|off switch) to get it to work (perhaps b/c it says ‘windows ce core’ on the back

There has to be something better out there for 300. On a side note, the built in Nav on the Honda/Acura line ups are awesome. Well worth the extra $ IMO.

5 Stars Defective Unit, but Easy Return
Can’t really rate the product, since it never worked, but I must applaud Amazon.com for the ease of the return.

5 Stars Good pick!
I’ve used it for a couple days now and couldn’t be more please. I base my review against my previous GPS, TomTom Navigator 6 for PDA. Compared to It, the navman is much better. The interface is very simple to use (really, if you can’t figure this out, you have issues). The maps show great detail and accuracy such as adjacent street names and house/street name of where you’re currently driving by. So far, POI are accurate in the WashDC/Arlington/Fairfax area. Calculates/recalculates in a few seconds. Also acquires sat signal in 5 or less seconds of powering on.

It does not have text to speech but it does read out streets that have numbers such as “Route one twenty three” and “exit seventy one ahead”. which is great for major streets and highways (tomtom just says exit right in 70yrds).

I like to give props to the Picture feature. Its more useful then what most reviews think. Its not just “a cool addition”. For example, Have a traffic accident or on the road and see suspicious vehicle or incidents, just start hitting the camera button and it takes pictures very quickly continuously. Great for police and insurance purposes. Beats most cellphone cameras and is much quicker to use and inconspicuous) Who’s gonna argue a pic with GPS coordinates on it! Resolution is good and clear in day and dawn, lens adjusts pretty well at night and to different light types (light bulbs etc).

You can also take a picture to tag the location of your regular digital camera pictures, then use services like Flickr, Mappr etc to have a cool map albums.

Also, navigating by selecting a picture is much easier then selecting it out of your favorites list. Bottom line, the camera is a nifty idea! I could careless to have an MP3 player on it (you prob already own an iPod or player of some sort), dictionary and all the other galore of useless half working features that others have and jack the price up over 500.00. Its a car navigation GPS, not a UMPC!

My only gripe is that the desktop software is currently not “FULLY” compatible with vista. I got it to work after trial/error. You need to uninstall Active Sync (Vista has its own version of this preinstalled). You need it to push updates (check navman site).

Navma, for future - VIDEO! why not? let us pop in a high capacity SD card and film away some nice 640×480 video clips! Cellphones can, you too!

This GPS does the job car navigation wise. Gets you places or out of places in your car, if thats what you need, get this one! If you walk, hike a lot, you’re looking at an apple instead of an orange.

Navigate away!

4 Stars job well done
the adhesive sticks rather well on my dash. i have a 2002 vw gti. the dashboard is rather curved and the place i have mounted the adhesive is somewhat awkward. too bad the plastic part of the mount is not as flexible because a portion of it doesnt stick to my dash. in the cold weather, the suction cup fails after 20mins-ish…..overall, its worth the money spent.

4 Stars Good product, fast delivery
Very good. Don’t hut the dashboard but it is a little big. It could be shorter than it is and fit well the TomTom’s 740 mount.

4 Stars Husband satisfied with product
My husband wanted these to move the GPS in his truck to a location on his dash. He is satisfied with the product.

5 Stars super fast service
Just as ordered and the mailing was super fast. 3 day and in my mail box.

4 Stars Great product while it worked, 2 weeks and no more!
The item arrived appearing to be in good condition, but after 2 weeks, the Garmin would not stay on, and would not hold a charge. I attempted to contact the seller, no number, call Amazon, and the number they have listed is a fax number. The Garmin is useless in this condition. It was great while it worked, 2 weeks and no more! The seller should provide a correct phone number to be able to contact in cases like this. I will request a refund.

5 Stars Excellent product and service
I ordered Garmin navigator for a very affordable price and I am not disappointed. Though the screen is small, it performs magnificently. The delivery was very efficient and within the promised date. Had I known the product was reliable, I would have ordered the one with a larger screen.Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

5 Stars Review of Garmin 250
Plug it in and go… how easy is that? This is the third one I’ve purchased. I like mine so much I bought two more for gifts.

5 Stars Great product, definitely suggest
Easy to use and got on the road right away. Love the features and ease. Wish it had the traffic updates but it was given a gift and love it regardless. Definitely a good buy for anyone searching for an easy and good GPS to use.

5 Stars simple but does exactly what I wanted
I bought this navi for a trip to Chicago to use in a rental car in an area I was completely unfamiliar with. I was able to use it immediately without any fussing with instructions. I also made quite some use of the POI feature, and found that fantastic (find the next gas station, Dairy Queen, outlet, etc.). Only once did it guide me to a store which had, in the meantime, apparently gone out of business. The instructions were clear and completely adequate. I mounted it with the windshield mount by sticking it to the radio display window, which worked fine (I had read windshield mounting not allowed in Ill.). In fact I found the height even better than on the windshield. It even took me right back to the correct rental car station at the airport. Recommended if you’re looking for a cheap, no-frills but efficient machine!

3 Stars Value for money but Not Great
This product is cheap. It however has it’s drawbacks. Just did a 1200 mile trip with this GPS. This is what I found.

Pros.

1. Generally works OK on major highways.

2. Fast Route Recalculation.

3. You can listen to MP3s while driving and see the map at the same time.

Cons.

1. Weird route calculation algorithm. Asks you to take route that makes no sense. I would always check the route first in Google maps and start driving and then the unit will eventually recalculate the correct route. I used Magellan 1200 simultaneously with this one and Magellan was very user friendly and showed right directions.

2.The documentation is poor and there is no quick start guide included.

3.Maps are old and new maps are not available yet.

4.Extremely limited number of POIs.

2 Stars Not the best GPS by a long shot
The select features on this GPS are frustrating. You often have to redo your selections because the GPS likes to make suggestions that don’t help. It also won’t let you look ahead in your directions and doesn’t say street names.

3 Stars Disappointing
I was disappointed with this GPS system. I have a Garmin for myself and bought this one as a gift. Definitely not worth the money I paid for it. I’ll return it and purchase a Garmin. Normally I don’t go by brands, but in this, I would stick with the big names.

1 Stars Poor quality, horrible customer service
I got this GPS from staples.com. I rarely use it, but only used a few times, then this device refuses to read the content of the SD card, and thus I could not use this GPS. I called InVion customer service, and they asked me to ship the SD card to them for repair. I did as instructed. When they shipped it back, they somehow messed up with my address and shipped it to the wrong address, so I did not get it. I called again, and they shipped a replacement card out, but again to the same wrong address, so still I wasn’t able to get it. I had to call many times about their 2nd mistake, after they verified with UPS that they indeed shipped it to the wrong address twice, they promised to ship it to me the 3rd time. They didn’t email me the tracking number after they shipped it out, but because they shipped it twice to the same wrong address, I don’t quite trust them, so I called them and asked for the tracking number. Then I called UPS and learned that they shipped this item to the same wrong address for the THIRD time! Dear readers, up to this point, can you imagine this whole thing? To ship an SD card to the SAME WRONG address THREE times!!! Fortunately, because of my reminder, they were able to intercept this package with UPS and corrected the address.

It took me more than 2 months from the day I sent my SD card to them to the day I eventually got it back from them because of their repetitive mistakes. And they never even said sorry to me for dozens of phone calls I made.

Conclusion: If you don’t want to get into trouble for the poor quality GPS and their nightmare customer service, don’t buy this GPS.

2 Stars Clunky
I walked into a Staples store when they advertised the TomTom One for $199 and of course “the customer who left 10 min before walked out with the last one” (yeah sure, and about that bridge; I’ll bet it’s for sale too) but the clerk said I can order that on our web system for you. Okay fine, I want it and I’m in no rush. Then the GPS-4v106 shows up. I have a bit of experience with the NexTar X3-02 (nice at $199) I bought it the same day that Staples didn’t have the TomTom (under the I don’t know what this is but I can take it back guarantee…) There is nothing really wrong with the X3-02 (it works great and looks and feels good too) except it has no facility to be updated and the small POI list is very old. But as the basis for comparison for this 4V106 “the X3-02 rocks” The 4V106 does not work without the SD chip inserted, it took several minutes to figure out where we were initially and though it comes with lots of stuff (AC & DC chargers, touch pens, various mounts, etc) it simply looks and feels cheap.
