Navigon 40 Plus review

 

The Navigon 40 Plus is a 4.3-inch, mid-range satnav (the 70 series is the top-end of this range with a slightly larger 5-inch screen) that comes with full European maps. So what makes this device different from the satnav you've currently got stored in...

Great lane assistance and brilliant POI features

Slow boot up times and signal catching

Overall, the Navigon 40 Plus has to be classified as a very decent mid-range sat-nav. If you're looking for satnav that offers you a wealth of extra features, and you don't mind paying a bit more than you would for entry level models, then the 40 Plus...

An excellent device of German make, superior to equivalent TomToms or Garmins.

Consumer review by:

A very worthy competitor to UK mainstream options.

 

This is a fantastic bit of kit. My trust in my decision to try something that wasnt mainstream in the UK, but boasted many more features for its price-point paid off.

Fantastic, what can I say?

Disappointment

 

Having read all the positive reviews I purchased this navigator. A great disappointment. It is not easy to use compared with TomTom and the voice is really irritating translating from German. The constant translation of Achtung to Beware really is too...

Consumer review by:

As good as Garmin and Tom Tom

 

Having been put off Garmin and Tom Tom with the low rated reviews, I believe this little beauty should be better considered. Whilst some of Garmin's units have had Which Product accolades you really ought to consider this one. Clean and simple. I...

Consumer review by:

Great improvement....

 

Navigon being a German brand doesn't receive a great deal of attention here in the UK but having done my research and having played around with the iPhone app I invested in this device based upon very good reviews.
