Navman iCN 720

The Navman iCN 720 is a welcome addition to the GPS market, offering a much improved user interface, bright and clear four inch touch screen and the a...

NavPix technology and digital camera, GPS signal strength, 4-inch widescreen, User interface, Next Turn map option, Red light and Speed camera warnings, Included remote control

Quite large and bulky, Can't navigate to house number with postcode search

The iCN 720 is a solid GPS unit that works well and includes a digital camera, navigation using photos, 4-inch touch screen, remote control and easy to navigate interface.

While NavPix is a nice little feature, it's not a huge reason to buy this over a TomTom

Unless NavPix is the functionality you’ve been crying out for, it is difficult to see past the iCN720's failings

Navman iCN 720 review

The iCN 720 is a high-quality navigation device, with excellent usability and on-screen information display. Although it's intriguing, we're not convinced that NavPix, the image-management system, will have the revolutionary effect that Navman is...

Widescreen display shows plenty of map data ; Built-in digital camera and innovative NavPix system ; Spoken instructions are loud and clear ; Easy-to-enter destinations ; Supports full postcode navigation

Live Traffic information is an optional add-on ; Device is large and heavy ; NavPix needs some refinement and may not be universally useful

Overall, though, NavPix gives the impression of being a bolted on feature rather than a smoothly integrated one. For example, you can't instruct the system to save images to an SD card rather than the internal memory by default, and you can't navigate...

The iCN 720 is a high-quality navigation device, with excellent usability and on-screen information display. Although it's intriguing, we're not convinced that NavPix will have the revolutionary effect that Navman is hoping for.

Wide-screen display shows plenty of map data ; built-in camera and innovative NavPix system ; spoken instructions are loud and clear ; easy-to-enter destinations ; supports full postcode navigation

Live Traffic information is an optional add-on ; device is large and heavy ; NavPix needs some refinement and may not be universally useful

The iCN 720 is a high-quality navigation device with excellent usability and on-screen information display. The wide-screen 4in. display is a welcome enhancement, allowing more map data to be visible; tappable on-screen icons and information displays...

Navman iCN 720

I purchased this not too long ago and to be honest I have been impressed. However if you're someone who likes to modify everything and loves added features then a TomTom unit would suit you. However if like me you just want to be taken from A to B and...

Navman iCN 720 Sat Nav

This is the first Sat-Nav I have ever bought. Shop around cos is can be found cheaper on sites with 'special offers'. I was impressed with the solid feel of the thing - not light and plasticy at all, but not exactly suitable for tucking into your jeans...
