Navman Navigation iCN 630 3.8-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

I cross shopped Garmin and Magellan units before buying the Navman, and I think I made the right decision. You can't get more for your money! The unit works very well. Sure, it's a bit slow to enter your destination if it's not stored in one of the 100 shortcuts (a nice feature!), the voice is a bit low if your radio is on, the maps are slow to get you 'back-on-track' if you decide to go in a different direction (to get around traffic hotspots or avoid contruction), small internal memory that necessitates you having to buy a 256 mb SD card to store your maps, and the system is a bit slow to boot up. But the Navman has a LOT going for it! 1) price! 2) a great screen that works in all kinds of light 3) small siz & portability 4) a windshield mount that lets you place it directly in your line of sight so you don't have to take your eyes off the road 5) excellent accuracy, considering the small small built-in antenna 6) the overall coolness factor of a small, portable, afforable GPS unit that works! I recommend it without hesitation to those that need an afforable GPS system that is easy to use, easy to install (and won't leave any marks in your leased car!!), and one that works really well!

I got the Navman iCN 630 after trying the Delphi Mobile Navigation system, as these units are based on the same hardware and similar (but not identical) software. The screen is sharp and easy to read, while the voice instructions are loud enough to be heard in a car traveling at highway speeds with the radio on. I considered the Garmin 2610 and the Magellan Roadamte 500, but I went with the Navman because the Garmin doesn't have 3D views (which I find very useful for a quick visual of where you're heading) and the Magellan seems to have a host of quality control problems (see the forums at [...] Benefits of the Navman vs. the Delphi include: (1) Navman bundles USA and Canada maps with the unit, while Delphi only provides the USA maps. (2) Navman has released a couple of service packs to improve the display and the routing algorithms, and these service packs are NOT compatible with the Delphi GPS. Be aware that the Amazon information is pretty outdated. The new Navman units ship with 4 CD-ROMs containing the software and Tele-Atlas maps, not Navteq maps. I've found the Tele-Atlas data to be pretty good in my area, but you'll have to make that determination for yourself. Also, Navman just announced that it will be coming out with the iCN 635 in a few months, and that unit will include a remote control and more base memory (128 mb vs. 64 mb). If those features are important to you, then you may want to wait.

This is the Navigation of all mobile navigations. It has a wide navigation screen, loud turn-by-turn instructions for when you have your music blasting. It's from Navman, the top of the line mobile navigation maker. Price should be no problem for this device if you want the best. It may be expensive but it is worth it. I love mine and it is incredible. Automatic re-routing and lots of extra additional goodies are included on this device. This device is comparible to my in-dash navigation system, only thing is Navman mobile navigation is better.
