Navman Tourer UK & RI

after using tomtom and garmin got this navman 614 off ebay for £25.00 delivered in perfect condition at first could not download latest maps,i wrote to navman uk with all the details of the unit next day they sent me an email telling me to return to the site, idid so everything worked perfect great back up service from them as for the sat nav great better than the others best was no splitting the screen in half as with garmin etc just clear directions easy an simple to use

...disastrous problems when I tried to update maps - Satnav is now useless and PCs - Windows 7 and 10 won't recognise it.

It's only fit for the bin!

Absolute rubbish, avoid it at all costs.

Bought a navan Tried it out on a trip from limerick to dublin battery died with in a hour Had a garmen no problem but this no great But maps are find but voices are poor

I have been using Nav Man for about 7 years now and I upgrade from time to time. I am an Account Manager and travel all over the UK, I drive about 40,000 to 50,000 miles a year and the Nav Man is excellent. Being able to choose 4 different routes is a massive advantage as well as the TTS fuction. Other sat navs voice commands are abrupt and un clear where as Nav Man is clear to understand, I have tried Garmin and Tom Tom and they dont come close plus the traffice function on Nav Man is foc where as the other makes you have to pay a monthly or annual subscription.

The only bad thing with this model is the rest button is to easy to press.

Had to return to shop as charger wasn't working. Was given a.non original, replacement but again had to return it as the original acts as receiver for traffic announcements.

Once I got unit up and running it seems ok and has some features that my garmin didn't have such as multi waypoints.Also fairly bland and uninspiring screen and not very customisable le voices vehicles and level of map detail.

Worst point is that when doing postcode search in too many cases it recognises street but has no house numbers, and this is for long established developments that should show on any mapping system created within last 3 years. when this happens you don;t have the option to go to postcode but to the centre of the street. whichcpuld leave you quite a distance from youre required destination

Supposed to be all Europe but hey, you have to choose either Eastern or Western Europe when you upgrade the maps. Is this even legal?

Lots of problems wirh the software , you can phone Navaman customer service and pay 10p a mniute for the privelege.

I woud say keep well clear of this product.

Very pleased with this Sat nav so far I like the choice of routes and it also picks up signal quickly.For £69 from Halfords its a bargain as far as I can see .Bought it to replace my old Tom Tom this has more up to date stuff on it like lane assist and IQ routes.The traffic updates seem to work very well as well.

The other feature which I bought this Sat Nav for is the Truck mode I know its only a month trial then you have to pay out £69.99.But its still cheaper than truck specific sat navs that come in at around £300.

Only grip is you really need the usb lead straight away to update the maps and of course this is not included in the box .Halfords wanted £9 for this but I got one on e bay for £1.59 so order usb lead before you buy the Sat Nav.

Someone stated there is only one voice but if you connect to pc and put in disk that comes with it you can download 3 other voices ..

I found the poi not very extensive but have added some free ones from the net myself.

This Is a good Sat Nav for a good price..The full europe version is only another £10 .But as I am rarely in Europe the tourer Uk and Ireland is fine for me.

This is a good satnav - very, very easy to use - (I still have a ICN520 great little machine but no map updates) so I purchased the Tourer.

GOOD POINTS: easy to use - easy to link up and talk to my PC - easy to download map updates -great choice of routes -easy to follow screens.

BAD POINTS: The voices - no mains charger - no case in the box.

Contrary to other reviews this is a good satnav

This unit does appear on the face of it to have some nice features such as a choice of routes, which come up on the screen as fastest, shortest, most economical & easiest. However the first disappointment is the poor quality of the voice, which is a shame as the content of the instructions is detailed.

The really bad thing as far as I was concerned was the total lack of accuracy on my route from Chatham Kent to National trust property Polesden Lacy in Surrey - I was directed along a very nasty narrow road (quite wrongly as it turned out!) then to make matters even worst I was instructed to turn left into a private driveway - which of course I ignored, I then endured constant demands to perform a U turn - even though we were in fact heading towards our destination, albeit more by luck than judgement!!

In view of all this it will be impossible to have any faith in this sat nav, so I will stick to my trusty TomTom in future!
