Navman Navigation iCN 630 GPS Navigator Review

Navman Navigation iCN 630 GPS Navigator | cnperryx's Review Navman Navigation iCN 630 GPS Navigator Review from cnperryx. Gets you where your going without the worry, In general this works very well. The maps in my area (middle of nowhere KY) look like they were created from current and planned roads from 1980. Any road less than 10 years old is not included and many never built roads are included.
Pros:
1) Signal aquirement is very fast.
2) Re-routing is very fast.
3) Audible directions are good.
4) Display is excellent.
Cons:
1) Maps only come in regions of 1/2 – 4 states (about 35 Mb each) and can not be broken up. Therefore the 64 Mb of data storage can not be efficiently used (you can generally only fit 1 region on the unit at a time). If you live on the edge of a region then you may find yourself forced to purchase a SD media card for programming.
2) There are no base maps (Interstates or Highways). If a region is not loaded then there are no roads!
3) You can not store a "point". You can store a street to a range of addresses. It claims I have reached my destination 2/3rds of a block before I get home.
4) It will instruct you to "bear right" when the road you are on goes from 2 lanes to 4 lanes. When there happens to be an intersection there it is easy to make a mistake.
5) It does not report elevation.
6) You can only select one piece of optional information on the screen (Direction N-NW-W-SW…, Speed, Distance to Destination, Time, ETA, Distance to turn)
7) If you don’t have a specific destination programmed then the display is limited to North up display. You also lose the option to select any of the optional information.
8) No batteries – this could be a handheld but only if you want to build your own battery case. This is not as big of a deal when you consider that it does not appear that it is designed to work when you get off of a recognized street.

Overall I like this. Investing in a 256 Mb SD card seems wise if not even a necessity. I have hopes that some of the CONS will be addressed through upgrades someday…
