 sat-nav |
| Review Date: February 17, 2010 |
| Reviewer: M. H. Hurst, |
The two sat-navs (same type, one being a replacement) both, occasionally sending me in the wrong direction. Also, they did not warn of speed cameras, but did warn of speed cameras that did not seem to exist.
They would be good value if they were reliable.
Technical department did not reply to my e-mail requesting info' on how to connect the traffic antena, not mentioned in the instruction leaflet. |

My first sat nav
Does what it says on the tin
Good value
East to use in the car but not on foot when it takes some time to acquire satellites
My only real complaint so far is the time it takes to down load the updated maps ( I am in a rural area with slow broad band and it took about 8 hours )
The other interesting problem was that we have 2 computers at home and old 9 years and newer one 3 years old Both running XP . I could not get the new computer to recognize the device and this was a bit frustrating so I tried the old one and had no problems at all ( I has seen in other reviews this was a problem ) so this is clearly a fault with the computer not the device ; so my advice is that if you have this problem of the device not being recognised , try if you can , another computer. I also tried it on my wifes laptop which runs on Widows7 and again no problems

| I've had a Garmin Streetpilot I3 for some years, so I thought it was time to upgrade. I was particularly interested in the traffic alert features of this model although I've not actually had cause to need them yet! The Nuvi is very quick locating the satellites on power-up (the I3 would sometimes take 10 or more miles before it knew where we were!) so I am very impressed with this little box. Traffic alerts are not always available - presumably the FM reception is a bit variable in our area of the south - so I cannot really say whether this is useful yet. Generally though the box is very neat and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to others. |
Fantastic sat nav

| Only had this 205wt for a week and it has already saved me time in traffic jams. Used a Tom Tom before this without traffic alerts and on the same journey 2 weeks apart the garmin saved me 35 mins getting there and 20 mins on the return journey. It did send me down a 1 laned country road and I wondered where the hell I was going but it worked! Supurb value for money. |
I like it but

I agree that this is certainly a good Sat Nav.
I do however find the safety camera warning somewhat distracting. It warns of fixed cameras which is great, just what I wanted, but it also warns of mobile camera zones which appear to just about every road I travel on. The result is I cant tell when there is a fixed camera and when I am just being warned that I'm in a mobile camera zone as the warning "bong" is much the same. The magical "bong" sounds as though it should be followed by a voice announcing "ground floor"! Please Garmin offer a different warning sound!
I am almost considering turning the warning off as I find it so distracting and misleading, perhaps Garmin could update the software to allow the user to select mobile camera zones and or fixed cameras.
Otherwise very accurate and easy to use, but still prefer my Smart Nav despite the mono screen! |
