It Comes In Two Versions: The Icn 720 That I ' M R
It comes in two versions: the iCN 720 that I ' m reviewing here, which includes maps of the UK and Ireland. The iCN 750 includes maps for Western Europe and will set you back something like £499 (inc VAT). In all other respects the two devices are the same.The iCN 720 brings the latest craze in navigation - widescreen " to the iCN series. The extra screen width is useful as it (obviously) allows more information to be displayed, but the knock on effect is that the hardware is both larger and more cumbersome to carry around than I ' d like. You can carry some smaller navigation devices around for walking, but I suspect the sheer bulk of the Navman iCN 700 series puts that out of the questionThe physical design isn't trend-setting by any standard, and the row of buttons to the right of the screen seems to take up a lot more room than it should. But when you are actually using the kit in a vehicle (though not whilst driving) its somewhat clunky appearance translates to buttons that are easy to find without bothering to look too far for them.I can ' t go far into this review before mentioning NavPix. The Navman 700 series devices have integrated digital cameras (1.3 MP resolution). The lens is on the back of the device, and when you shoot an image it is captured with your current location. You can then use the picture as a point to visit on a trip without having to remember it's name (useful if you drive past a beautiful viewpoint with no signs of civilisation nearby). You can transfer pictures to your computer and share them with other people, either by emailing them or by uploading to the NavPix area of the Navman Web site. Navman are also using this on the N-series units to great success.
