| Well, I never really heard of Navigon before i purchased this 4350 sat nav and having had this device for 4 weeks now i am totally impressed! I "was" a total tomtom user and beleived that no other device on the market could offer anything near the quality or reliability as a tomtom. How wrong i was! I have driven no less than 750 miles with this sat nav and it has got me from door to door without error and in absolute ease. The traffic information is as clear and up to date as you could wish for, every direction and/or warning has proven to be extremely accurate, and i really like the pop up parking signs amongst various other information messages it displays when you enter a town or city. Really informative and well thought. Also the graphics are way crisper and smoother than the big named competitions devices. Well done Navigon, this by far is the most outstanding unit i have used so far. |
Good product for its price

I do confirm the good comments of the previous commentator and I do say that this particular NAVIGON device provides good service for the money to its user. No accuracy on the street numbers I have to say but this is outbalanced by some other qualities . Good size screen , 3D view and route planning . I was surprised by the huge repertoire of languages for voice guidance and the detailed maps in 'distant' European areas - far above the level of the 'other well known GPS' manufacturer's - and using the local alphabet of a country ( take Greek for instance ) which avoids confusions . Route Planning involves as well the choice of a route where the target maybe the 'scenery' around , rather than the fastest or shortest one, true for some people who do want exactly that or maybe use it as a 'desperate' alternative in case of huge blockage due to 'public works in progress' in country areas. Satellite reception is remarkably fast
I owe 4 GPS devices and I consider this one as my best for the route
Note : I have not tried map updates and I don't know how this works for additional areas |
Best SatNav so far

This is my 4th unit, having used Navman and Garmin previously. I have covered 800 miles in Uk using this in 4 weeks of ownership, and apart from poor colours and difficulty seeing in bright sun,( what,ever that is ) this unit is magic.
The lane assist is really handy at motorway junctions and roundabouts, the choice of routes is good as are POI.
An excellent unit. I am pleased with it and hope it lasts. A deal on with Navigon just now gives you updates for 2 years I think for about 20Euros. |

| I have had this SatNav for 2 weeks having returned a Garmin 255 which was hopeless in a Town and poor directions. This machine is the Dog's you know what. Directions are extremely clear and given in plenty of time with a full speaker description of the next road name and number given several times. Good Volume and clarity. Superb on Motorways. Excellent graphics. When you approach a Town up comes the Parking sign and you can see and be directed to your choice. The TMC is brilliant. I recently came back from Cheltenham to Watford and it verbally told me there was bad traffic 31 miles ahead and when I pressed the symbol it showed me the problems on adjacent roads. Speed camera warning is also superb. It shows where the camera is on the road and which side and flashes red.Small problem with house numbers but OK. Fast searching for destination as it only shows the keys on the keyboard that are applicable.POI etc also very good. Fixing Satnav to the screen holder is abit fiddely and you need to connect it all up first before putting it on the screen. If there were 6 stars I would give it. Buy it now but search the net for the best price. |
Great gadget!

| This is my first SatNav - so I don't have any real means of direct comparison other than hearing what others have said about theirs. Hearing some swear by TomTom or Garmin - and others curse the day they bought one - I did do quite a lot of research before taking the plunge. All I can say is look at the stats - visit major Sat Nav retailers (Halfords, Amazon etc) and look at the reviews. You will struggle to find a really bad review for Navigon and the 4350. The graphics are good, it gives you several routes to choose from, is accurate and comes with lots of features which I have found invaluable. So far it's done the business and I've been very impressed on all fronts. The deal to have updates for 2 years for £15 is a bargain - but I did have trouble using the Navigon website, which is not as intuitive as it could be. Sometimes it can take a couple of minutes at start up to find the satellite, which can be a little frustrating, but other than that, this is a great piece of kit. Off to France for a few days to put it through its paces on the Continent, but confident will won't let me down. |
