 |
|
Has anyone else got a Navman icn510 which they're really impressed with, EXCEPT for the fact that it's absolute rubbish for around 80% of roundabouts?
The red guide-line on the map seems to be correct, but the road name/number at the top of the screen which should tell you the road name/number you're going onto from the roundabout is almost always wrong, which makes it almost useless at roundabouts unless it's safe to study the map-screen and try to work out where the red-line is telling you to go (not easy when you're trying to get around a large city which you've never been to before!).
Anyone elses thoughts? Is this quirk just a Navman-thing or has anyone noticed it on other systems (Garmin, Tom-Tom etc)? I'm hoping that I'm not the only one who has noticed this and Navman release some sort of update to sort it  |

| Never noticed it. To be honest, I find it easier to glance at the screen to check the red directional arrow rather than trying to pick out street names. |
