Customer Review: I love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Navman is so cool! I am besides myself! I am still amazed as to how it works! Anyway, last month I bought the Navman navigational system with a new Palm m515 because I really needed to upgrade my old Palm IIIe and I have always been intrigued with navigational systems so I decided to go for it. I have only had the system for a month now, but I will give my assessment:1. ***Complete GPS solution with mounting hardware and vehicle power adapter* It comes complete with everything you'll need to set it up. I highly reccommend a color PDA because the color maps are wonderful and the backlight function on the Palm m515 is awesome especially at night.
2. ***Rand McNally StreetFinderŽ Deluxe mapping software*
The mapping sofware is good. It allows you to create and download maps unto PDA. It also allows address-to-address direction mapping which you can also download to the PDA. I noticed that you cannot create address-to-address direction maps on the PDA itself, this has to be done on the PC and then downloaded to the PDA. In addition, if you want to reverse the directions you'll have to create another map and download it. As in all mapping software, it is not perfect so one has to be careful.
3. ***Turn-by-turn directions with audible prompts*
I love this feature! It works when you create create address-to-address direction maps and download them to the PDA. I was able to drive and navigate well (and responsibly) with this feature. It is especially useful at night when you cannot read dimly lit street signs.
4. ***Over 1 million points of interest and business locations**
This is another very useful feature of the mapping software. It allows you to mark points of interest on the map and download them to the PDA. The other day one of my co-workers wanted fish and chips for lunch and since I had downloaded restaurants (as points of interest) with a map of the area, I was able to find restaurants serving fish and chips with ease. The co-worker was impressed!
I have to present both sides of the coin, so, while using the Navman I have encountered an error which has occured a couple of times. It happened when using the address-to-address directions after I had arrived at the destination. It seemed as if the software was confused about whether I had arrived at the destination or not. It presented a message that I was off the route. Then the PDA locked up with a memory error and I had to reset it. Notwithstanding, I am enjoying the Navman a lot. It is just so cool. For those of us without nav. systems in our cars... this is it!
