Anyone have any experience with Navman? I've been looking for a cheap portable navi for my civic, and this seems to fit the bill. I've seen others with blue tooth, Mp3 players, etc... dont need any of those features.



$99 after rebate @ Radio Shack.

a buddy of mine has a navman. it does the job. i'm a fan of garmin though. you can pick up a nuvi 200 pretty cheap now - just saw one the other day for $129.

you might wanna look into (believe it or not) Mio... I read some pretty decent reviews and they are cheap. (Mio actually owns Navman)

here's an older review, but the price should be less by now...

I been using a Garmin in the Mazda and honestly, its freaking great.

Makes me wonder why i ever bought navi from the factory.

Which Garmin? I'm thinking about picking one up if I can find a decent deal on one.

garmin for me

check amazon, i picked up a 660 for $280.....the price fluctuates but if your lucky you'll catch it around $300 or less...

which one? I want a bare bones navi, and the Garmin Nuvi 200 seems to fit the bill.

Crazy Bimmer

No idea, its at the office but i will check tomorrow which model it is.

you could also check Craigslist in your area for good deals.

Get any garmin and call it a day, I have both the garmin and Navigon 7100 but honestly the navigon just sucks. I bought the navigon for its awesome value but it seems like they are using a processor from the 80s, damn thing is too slow to be used in car may be it will be better if I use it on a trike. During highway driving it guides very well but it cant hold its own in city driving seems like its running couple streets behind.

Garmin C580

when i got it, the maps lagged. they were from 05. updated the maps from the garmin website. works wonderful now. it has no bluetooth or any other cool stuff on it but, it is touchscreen and doesn't look bulky.

check cnet, both magellen and garmin and you cant go wrong. both got like... an 8 or something... within .1 points of each other.

i have the N40i, initial start up is a little slow. Once it gets a lock and you shut it off for a bit, itll lock on again in seconds. Battery life is barley 4 hrs though...

trancemission

I just ordered that. I cant wait...

garmin are great. I have the magellan and hack it with 6 million poi. Bought a TomTom 3rd edition for my sister and I think it's better than the magellan. But I only got the magellan for $75 when it was on clearance at target so cant really complain.

I think I'm going to jump on this one as well... where did you order yours from?

synth ... circuit city has a sale on all garmin and magellan navi's starting at $129

I went here brotha.

Not a bad deal

i own garmin, magellan, and tomtom....gotta say that garmin is by far the best out of the 3 when it comes to interface, load times, and ease of use.

FiveLiterCheater

Thanks for the link trance, I think i'm gonna hop on this one. Is Tigerdirect a safe site? Never ordered from them before...This seems to fit the bill, I have all the extra features the other navs have in the TL already.

trancemission

They seemed legit to me. They also take paypal which sold me instantly.

synth19

what's the difference between the 200 vs. the 200w. Wallmart has the 200 for $154 right now, the one in the tiger link is $189.

trancemission

200w is a widescreen version. its about an inch wider

trancemission

heres the difference

SupaRookie

Damn that 200w looks nice! Hopefully it will be on sale later this year and I can grab it.
