I went to have look at the S100 the other Sunday - just to look. But it tempted me by its attractive design and neat mapping, and I bought one. Since others have already reviewed their units I will just comment that the S100 does still have a 12,000 POI limit, but does gave a warning of such. I did install our hosts' speed cameras (as consolidated) and the unit took them and appeared to work. The data is now in .csv format rather than .asc (as per the earlier ones). The overall programme seems much the same as the iCN530, but with a new interface. However, when I let the unit navigate today it re-booted four times over a 200 mile journey. I guess that's what the S30-90 units did. So it was returned to the store and I wonder what to try next - the TomTom Live is certainly appealing.

Im thinking of getting one of these fine looking machines.

Can someone please answer a couple of quires first...

How is the cradle system. I'll be entering and leaving my car at least seven times a day so I need a system that is not fiddly and wont break.

The 'clear route' thing looks good but i do like to see surrounding roads. This is useful if I suddenly want to deviate from the route and turn down a road that is heading in the same direction. Can you always see the surrounding roads when taking a route?

Is there a direction arrow that points to the location you are traveling to? I find this useful, again, if I want to deviate. At least then you know you are traveling in the correct direction.

Many thanks,
Tc

Hi All
I have not submitted a post on this site for a long while?
Looking at the Navman site I see a new model available S300T priced at around £270 and it is available today. I was looking at getting new maps for my N60i, but at £70, is it worth the expense or should I go for it and get the all singing , all dancing and free 2009 map upgrade when launched for an extra £200.
I could do with another unit as my old 510 still works, but the maps are so out of date, it makes work that much harder.
I like the sound of all the bells & whistles the 300T has.
Convince me and I may get it for Christmas.
Regards
DRP

I would say the S300T is great if you need European mapping, otherwise the S100T (Traffic model exclusively from Halfords) is a bargin at £179 plus £20 Halfords Vouchers Gift at the moment with UK only maps - otherwise much the same unit (no FM transmitter or bluetooth)

As per my post on the 'New Navman S Moels' thread, Additions direct (part of the Shop Direct Group), are advertising the S200 with full western European maps for £179.13.

As they only supply the regional model, and Navman won't yet sell a key to unlock the maps, it seems that the only way they can honour the contract is by supplying the S300 model at the same price (currently £229).

I'll advise how I get on, you may want to consider placing an order before (if) the web site is changed. As I understand it, they don't have to supply the goods as advertised, but if they do take your money and deliver a product, then it must perform as advertised.

Update as promised - unit swapped for S300 for no extra charge, interweb advert still claims S200 is pre-loaded with western European maps...

Hi all
I am at a dilemma. I have been waiting for the new map release?
I contacted Navman and received a reply!
My question was if I purchased an S300T from them today would it come with the latest mapping.
Over the festive season, as a promotion, you could get a free map upgrade when available. The reply was. The promo had discontinued (which I was fully aware of) and that I would have to purchase the upgraded maps when released later this year, as the S300T currently is supplied with the older maps (2008.7).
My dilemma is do I purchase the map upgrade for my N60i £70, find someone who has XP to upload them onto my N60i via the SD card I have to purchase. (I run Vista). Pay the price for a new S300T, purchase the new maps (£70) when they are released later this year, which takes the total retail price up to Tom Tom top model prices.
Or forget about Navman totally, and go Tom Tom 940 or 730, or someone else?
Any advice?
Regards,
DRP

Do the two "Sticky's" in this forum still need to be sticky?

Both over two years since last post.
