Navman Launch four new iCN SatNav Systems

Well based on past history, you'd pay your £199 now for a 520 ans then have to pay another £100 or so for the new maps, which you'd need to get the new data.

So that £299 is the same as the projected price for the iCN530 which has a better GPS receiver and the potential to add the TMC module, albeit for a further £100.

I assume the new 5xx has the same routing preferences as the current 510/520. Will the new 7xx also be as flexible, allowing a sliding scale of faster/slower - shortest/quickest - motorways/urban roads?

I don't think the 530 has changed from the 520 at all in that respect.

The 7xx has five-position sliders for 'Fastest time/Shortest distance' and 'Less often/More often' for Motorway preferences.

I hope they have upgraded the speaker / sound on these devices to something similar or better than my TT700.

Hi
The 530 looks like a nice new unit, I would go for the add on extra so not to get caught up in any road works or road closures.
What concerns me is the size of the NAND memory.
If this is region based would it not make sense to purchase one form a country other than a UK to take advantage of a larger NAND memory. So you would not have all the fuss of what size memory card to purchase to fit all your maps that you need , or to carry a number or cards around with you as I have done in the past.

Has anyone else noticed that it looks like the 530 is going to come with teleatlas 2005.1 mapping for the UK - bit of a disappointment as that's not the new mapping that going to come with the tomtom 510 etc. Enough to put me off because the new teleatlas maps have got some new features that tomtom's new software is going to make use of like speed limits on roads etc.

The following link is the Navman press release for the ICN530. Looks like it will have text to speech as well as the other features listed in this thread.

Use for camera in a NAVMAN? Take pictures(by your passenger, of course!) of safety cameras and send the coordinates to pocketgps. Idea

Any news on the map data? I hope its a LOT BETTER than the iCN510 I got. Sometimes it gives you a laugh, anyway it encouraged me to read road signs(2 years with a license) and anticipate road conditions. Rolling Eyes

For me I'd prefer the icn 530 over the 7xx range as the camera / NavPix is too gimmicky for my liking. Not too sure about the icn 530 compared to the TT Go 510 though.
