Navman GPS e Series for Notebook Computers with USB connectorsUser Review: - Not bad.I guess it was rushed to market. So it is not perfect, But works pretty well if you spend some time. When I got it, I had to download the driver for it to work with Windows XP. The StreetFinder Deluxe is pretty good, it has Several working mode. Kids mode for kids to have fun. EZview will give you the most important that you want to know when driving a car. You can record your route and play it back later, using 1-20x the original speed. You can also set a route to track. Pros: USB interface, so it does not need battery Pretty accurate. Almost always show my position in the right road. (except in certain urban area, where it will make minor mistakes) Also works with MS streets and trips. The mount is cool. Cons: The software (StreetFinder Deluxe) is not very stable, after running for 1 or 2 hours, it responds slowly. I guess it also works with Street Atlas, which might solve the problem. User Review:  - What a wasteNavman & Rand McNally obviously didn't test this thing before selling it. It's a great way to ruin your company. It's no wonder RM filed for bankruptcy. Too many problems: - Route finder requires internet connection. What's the point? I don't have internet service in my car. If I did I would have used MapQuest. - GPS gets lost; shows me driving off road, miles off course AND in the wrong direction. - If left alone, takes minutes to get back on track, if at all. - Rebooting gets everything back on track. Annoyances: - The whole app doesn't behave like a "Windows" app: mouse clicks and menus don't work/behave as expected. - When tracking your progress with the moving map, the map doesn't re-center until you get to the end of the window. I need to see where I'm going and what's coming up, not where I've been. - Loading maps from the CDs to hard disk is a pain; the 4 CDs are organized by geography but the Load program installs in alpha order, therefore, installing data for several states requires several CD swaps. Doesn't anybody make an affordable GPS with moving map for PCs? We have the technology. I'm a private pilot and this has been available for cockpits for years now. User Review:  - Navman with Rand McNallyAfter using Microsoft Streets and Trips the Rand Mc Nally street finder deluxe I find the Microsoft far more useful.MS has many more features such as multipal stops,changeable routes, stops along the way,and every thing you need to plan a trip is on your hard drive. With the R M program your route planing is a down load off the web.You have no flexability to pick your route to avoid high traffic areas or major cities. With MS streets you have all these options plus! Tha navman web site offers a down load to use MS with The navman gps Antena.This combo works well together.The only thing good I found with R M is the gps display ,it gives you your current speed and average speed.This is great if you don'nt have a speedometer User Review: - This GPS gave me PMSThis GPS = POS. As stated in a previous review, you cannot get directions without being connected to the internet. Map Point doesn't need the net once it's installed. Unexcuseable for software that takes up four CDs, when MP only takes up two. You're stuck with Streetfinder, since no other software seems to recognize the unit. I found out it didn't like my USB mouse, so once I disconnected it, I finally aquired a satallite and fixed my position. Then the hangs started, and the system only starts less than half the time without freezing. This is going right back to the store. User Review: - HorribleThe software will not stay up on my new Win2k laptop. Zoom in on the map and it crashes. Pan the map east or west and it crashes. Acquire a satellite and have it plot your current position on the map, and you can see where you are for about 2 seconds before, you guessed it, the map software crashes. Rand McNally's web site is useless for technical issues/upgrades. Complete POS. Going back to the store tomorrow. Putting your company's name on a product this poor is an easy way to ruin a well-known name brand in record time. |
