Good GPS

I bought this two weeks ago becuase I do a lot of travelling. Connected it to my notebook and attached to the windshield and away I went. Excellent tracking and accurate with MS Streets & Trips 2004. It does not drain my batteries nearly as quickly

Takes awhile to find satellites at times. It may be MS Streets, but would be nice if the map reoriented

big disappointment

Well, I was looking for a low cost GPS for pc system and I came across this product ( I was going to buy it and try it out ). I happened to read the comments and was really shocked how bad the product was. I just wonder what in the world is wrong...

Not the best

My dog could run a better company.

Navman has refused to honor a comitment that was made in customer service simple becouse that person is not "authorised" to make such comitments. Their product arrive broken - and I know someone else who had the problem.They refused to honor the rebate...

Save your gas money. Don't o to the store to buy it

Oh my God! What a total POS this is. The GPS is only recognized my Street Finder Software. This is partly Microsoft's problem, because Streets and Trips is pickey about virtual serial ports from USB devices.This is so ridiculous, I just have to say it...

Works well enough to keep.

I'm a GPS beginner, and the average PC-user. Bought this product straight from the company about 2 wks after it came out. Driver installation on the laptop was problem-free, and the NavMan picked up a fix (MS Streets&Trips 03, XP) once we were settled...

Beat the high cost of specialized navigational systems

I bought the eSeries device, even after reading several negative reviews because Navman offered a 30-day money back guarantee, and I just had to see if it worked. My only alternatives would have been to buy some hand-held GPS unit along with a serial...
