The entry-level GPS unit in Navman's S-Series Platinum range of in-car GPS units, the S100 lacks built-in traffic, FM transmission and Bluetooth, but ...

Design, user interface, large display, keyword search method, text-to-speech pronunciation, clear map screen

Satnav head-to-head: Navman S100 vs TomTom Go 540 Live

 

For those who are regularly behind the wheel, this is an excellent, feature-rich satnav.

Going purely on features, the TomTom Go 540 Live knocks the Navman S100 into a cocked hat. Sure, it’s more expensive and if you sign up to the Live updates you’ll be paying almost £100 a year, but given the vast chasm between the two in terms of...
