Review: Navman F20 Portable GPS Navigation

Navman-F20.jpg

The Navman F20 Portable GPS Navigation unit has a large 3.5” touchscreen, combines GPS navigation with SiRFstar III™ technology and includes POI import capability so you can add your own points of interest such as safety cameras, using the optional desktop connectivity kit. 'Navman's last portable navigation system, the Navman iCN 750, wowed the market with its built-in camera. Yet this type of innovation (not to mention its high price tag) is better suited to the driver-cum-gadget hound crowd. What if you just want an affordable system to get you from point A to point B? Enter the Navman F20.

This compact unit offers basic navigation tools and a simple, attractive interface that first-time users will appreciate. More importantly, it provides accurate directions. While there are some downsides, such as an outdated points-of-interest (POI) database and a weak speaker, we think the Navman F20 is a very solid, entry-level GPS device. And at $379.95, it's one of the most affordable systems we've seen to date.'
