Navman iCN530 for £141

[fjt9]

Is it worth it?

Yes! It's a bargin I think, a good Sat Nav at a very good price, it includes European Maping as well, however it's not available until next week I'm getting mine on Monday whilst stocks last! I was going to post once I had one and let others know. Shhhh

Hi I was looking at getting the navman to but have just read this on amazon "There is also the small matter of a slight misrepresentation in the promotion of the item. There is an implication in NAVMAN's own description of the device (see above in Amazon, or on the wall in PC World, Comet, and so on) that this module comes with european maps on CD, just ready to use, included in the price. In fact, you have to pay extra to obtain a product key to access these, and at £79 for each additional country, they are not cheap. I know I can't complain too loudly, becasue the icn 530 is so competitivley, not to say cheaply, priced to start with, and I didn't buy it for its european maps. But to be led to believe that something is included when in fact it costs extra is a little disturbingand"
Read it here www.amazon.co.uk/Navman-iCN530-GPS-Navigation-System/dp/B000FBBKOE/ref=dp_return_1/026-6232710-7902067?ie=UTF8&n=560798&s=electronics in first review down.
Does any one know if this is true I was toying between the tom tom and navman and if you have to pay for the euro maps looks as if the tom tom may win.

I have heard nothing about buying the Euro maps, all the comments I have heard and read say all you need is an SD card to load the maps from the supplied CD and off you go, if you read the other reviews on your link it says just that. Maybe the guy was confused? Any way for £141 its a bargain even without euro maps. I'm getting mine tomorrow!

The only problem I've had with the European maps is that I loaded them onto a 1Gb card, but the machine can only really handle an 0.5 Gb card. So it locked up on on a few occasions, but behaved itself once it was running.

Ive had a icn520 and now hav the new N20 (replaces 530) its ace ! has 95% europe mapping installed and i brought it from Costco 2 weeks ago for £140 inc vat !!!!!!!!!!!! (weekly deals). BUT beware the reason i ended up buying a new one was because i accidently busted the screen on my icn520 and Navman wanted £130 to fix it !! so i have a 2 month old 520 with a busted screen sitting here useless !! ANY OFFERS !!
