+ REVIEWS:
LaptopMag reviewed the Navman F20 where they rated the gps 3/5 and wrote:
“The F20 speaks directions clearly as you drive, signaling turns far in advance and then telling you again when it’s time to turn. On our tests, the F20 quickly rerouted us when we took a wrong turn. The device can be a little too chatty; for example, we wish it didn’t tell us to continue going in the same direction quite so often. The F20 doesn’t speak street names, as higher-priced models do, so you’ll occasionally need to glance at the map to make sure you’re turning on the right street…It doesn’t double as a Bluetooth speakerphone, and it can’t play your favorite tunes. But if all you want are good, easy-to-follow directions at a decent price, the Navman F20 is hard to beat. “
CNET reviews the Navman F20, they rated the gps 8/10 and writes:
“The F20 is very quick in acquiring a satellite connection and also equally fast in route calculation, even in the CBD where high-rise buildings have a tendency of disrupting the GPS signals. We were also impressed with how quickly the system could recalculate another route when we missed a turn…The bottomline:A portable GPS that’s simple to use and reliable, and is a good start for those after a well priced and accurate navigation device.”
Personal Computer World reviews the Navman F20, they rated the gps 4/5 and writes:
“Navigating and viewing a route itinerary is very easy, but there is no option to avoid specific roads or parts of your journey. One interesting feature is the safety camera database, enabled with a simple ‘on’ or ‘off’ setting on the menu. When turned on it tends to dominate the display – you’re notified with flashing red text at the bottom of the unit when approaching a camera. A year’s subscription to camera database updates will set you back £33.”
