How good is the Navigon software?

[Jammer]

I'd like some feedback on the Navigon software.
It seems to be very well priced compared to the likes of Tomtom.

How does it compare?
It seems to have essential tools like Postcode finder - an essential item missing from Tomtom (nothaving to install a third party tool is much better!)

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for asking Jammer.

I've had MN4 running on my iPAQ 4350 for a week now and find it pretty stable, it has had problems but usually when I switch it off at the end of a journey.

I have had experience of both TomTom and MN4 and I prefer the look and feel of MN4 (I know there are a lot of you who will disagree with me on this) once you get used to the screens it is a better application.

I do have concerns over it's reliability over long distances though. For some strange reason I keep loosing my signal and TMC for no reason. I've even set it up in the Conservatory with a fix for an hour to see if it can hold the signal but more often than not it looses it - attach an external antenna and this issue dissappears.

This morning I was on a trip to Leeds and for some reason never acquired a fix either on the way there or back - luckily I only wanted to use it for the traffic. I'll be happier when I get to the bottom of why this happened.
