Navman

When looking for a dash cam, I strongly recommend not buying the Navman MiVue 100. I purchased this dash cam purely for safety and peace of mind,… Read more

but it completely failed me when I needed it most.

I was recently involved in a hit-and-run while stopped behind stationary vehicles at a traffic light. An SUV suddenly came from my right and crashed into the rear side of my car, then took off before I could identify it.

At first, I thought I was lucky because the dash cam had recorded the incident and the footage appeared to be there. However, when I got home and tried to transfer the video to my computer, the file was completely corrupted and unsalvageable.

A dash cam is meant to protect you in situations exactly like this. Instead, this device let me down at a critical moment.

Very disappointed and would not recommend this product to anyone.

Still no fix to Navdesk download – No point having a GPS if you can't update the maps! Navdesk needs to be downloaded to your computer and can't open as the Mac tells you it can't be… Read more

trusted because it's malicious spyware. This has been a problem for a number of years, and still no Fix,

This camera has great day time footage and average night time footage, it miles better that other cameras I have used in day time. You can actually… Read more

see number plates especially with the 4K surround model. There is a few negatives though, but image quality is 90% of what matters to a dash camera. This camera comes with no instructions and is one of the most complicated cameras I've had to set up. There are only 4 SD cards that Navman recommends you use with this camera and they are all hard to find and expensive. The screen is terrible . Connecting to the App is ridicules, requiring you to scan an code and set up the connection every time. The screen sits flat on the window , angling it down at the floor, the PC app never works so you have to use third party software to view images.

Randomly stops recording – Randomly stops recording. I went to check an incident today and the thing isn’t recording anymore. When I have time I’ll fiddle with it and maybe… Read more

reset it. The other thing it does is not connecting to wifi to down load. Downloading times are so excruciatingly slow, it’s painful. The most annoying thing is thinking it’s recording when it’s not. I paid over $500 for it. I would not recommend at all. It’s not reliable.

I purchased a 800 dual cam from Autobarn, it had problems right from the start wouldn't turn on until it decided to and would turn off at any time.… Read more

It got sent in for repairs under warranty and probably lasted about 6 months before it all started again. I had incorrectly blamed the Navman product as being faulty. As it turns out after many years and with the help of the Navman team the problem all stems from the professional installation team at Autobarn. My sincere apologies to Navman.

Worked fine for 2-3 years. Playback easy enough on the inbuilt screen. Good quality footage. Suction cup mount tends to fall off on hot days. Conked out just recently (it suddenly refused to read the SD card).

great machine – Works as expected and when I updated to new iphone automatically picked up all the latest traffic lights etc.

Useless gadget bound for the bottom drawer – Difficult to set up and use, battery seems slow to charge and doesn't hold charge so constantly turning off and on. I've got another satnav device… Read more

which is a piece of cake compared to this piece of frustration- a waste of money in my opinion and bound for the bottom drawer. The software needs a makeover- visually looks like 30 years old

My journey with NAVMAN – TOP section is the background story. Please read the BOTTOM section for the resolution.. This is my 3rd Navman. First one was great, made our trip… Read more

to Queensland a breeze back in 2007. Second one, not bad to use, used it to navigate the wineries of Adelaide and SA for a couple of years before someone decided they needed it more than me and stole it out of the car. Thought I'd buy a bigger one to replace it. The MY690LMMT. Nice big screen. Same relatively easy operation / software. Mostly very accurate and finds addresses easily. Battery? Hopeless as everyone else says but it lives in my vehicle and is never handheld so no biggie there. My problems began just around the 12 month mark when the screen became unresponsive and inaccurate to touch. I returned the unit to JB HiFi and it was sent back from Navman shortly afterwards working OK again. Here we are just over 12 months since and same problem. Screen either not responding to input or at times if you want to use one letter when attempting address input you have to deliberately use the key next to it. I have rebooted. I have performed the factory reset as described on the Navman help pages. No deal. I'm certainly not going to open it up or send it to a tech. I like this product (line) but I don't consider 12 months of proper operation before needing to go back to the manufacturer for service an appropriate lifespan.

Thanks to this site and the help of NAVMAN / MITAC customer relations team my problems have been completely resolved. I now have a replacement unit which is functioning (and in use as I type...my wife has it) perfectly. Navman's rep guided me through the process of resetting the unit before requesting I send it back to them. In a very short time they discovered the unit was faulty and generously replaced it even though the warranty was (only just) expired. Top marks to all concerned and a special thank you to Ronel my customer liason contact.

Disappointed – This is not an inexpensive dash cam and I am disappointed at the deception when purchasing and also with it's function. The unit requires the… Read more

additional purchase of a specified SD card. This is not disclosed on the packaging. The unit in order to function with it's advertised parking collision function requires the purchase of an additional wiring loom. Again not disclosed. The unit fails in function. It starts operating when you enter the car but then turns off when the ignition is started. It requires manual reactivation every time if you remember! I have had excellent Navman products in the past. This is not up to their standard.

better than most – had for quite a while now it's been operating longer than any other dash cam ever got still, I'm confused about the device's battery's role in these… Read more

dashcams is there one even present? I mean, it only turns on when power from the ignition is supplied.

NOT WHAT MEETS THE EYE!!! DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE! Bought a Move70LM not realising that the MAPS CANNOT BE UPDATED - despite the "lifetime" guarantee… Read more

(which was what caused me to buy the device in the first place). Wish I had checked first. DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE OR ANY OLDER DEVICES BECAUSE NAVMAN WON'T SUPPORT ONGOING MAP UPDATES AND MISLEAD WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEFINITION OF "LIFETIME"!

For the eyes of Navman MY670LMT, Good bye Navman! – I purchased a Navman MY670LMT in 2018 and paid extra for the extended warranty that expired last year. Initially, it served its navigation purpose… Read more

well, but not long after that, several issues emerged. The screen became unresponsive, slow response time, loading was sluggish, and the operating system was problematic. Additionally, the unit would occasionally switch off, presumably due to a weak or small battery.

Throughout the years, I hoped that updating the unit with the latest software would resolve these problems. However, in early 2023, the screen became permanently unresponsive, and when it unexpectedly worked, it would freeze up again after another touch.

I've already tried the following solutions to resolve the issue, but none of them worked: - Installed the latest update. - Fully charged it overnight (the green light indicated a full charge). - Performed a hard reset (by poking it). - Attempted a Smart System Recovery.

Navman's service department is asking for $90 to repair it, even though the machine is still relatively new.

Anyway, I believe it's time to consider a new navigator and give their competitors a chance.

Use the correct 128Gb card – Easy to set up. Had trouble with the SD cards for a while then found out it didn't like the particular 128Gb card. Navman provided a list of compatible cards so it all works well and it seems to be a good little camera.

Absolute garbage. It always lets me down when I need it the most. It randomly shuts off and produces corrupted files. I almost got into an accident and I wanted to check the other car's registration only to find out it wasn't even recording at all.

Home Address Missing Every Time I Start My Car – Every time I start my car, NAV starts with the 'agreement' page and 'SAFE DRIVING' page. All go well then except the 'Home address' is wiped blank.… Read more

It was not the case in my previous MY400LMT or S50, they went straight to maps or main menu with 'home address' in the memory.

Good and bad – Dragged the unit out after some time sitting idle and ran a map update before a 3800 km trip to Auckland. Told maps were up to date but the unit was… Read more

caught out at least twice in the North Island, once by the new Transmission Gully road out of Wellington and again by a new expressway tunnel in Auckland. Coming out of Wellington in the dark on a wet night with NavMan telling me to do a U turn on a four lane motorway wasn't a high point. Most of the time the unit still works well and we always got to the intended destination even when I didn't always agree with it's chosen route. For longer distance trips it would be nice to be able to chose a route via specific towns rather than the alternate one NavMan picks. The unit can be a little slow in reorientation after an incorrect turn which can cause some frustration in busy traffic . Can't comment on battery life as I always have it plugged in via the lighter outlet. It has always stayed in place for days at a time while travelling and I do find the screen easy to read. The interface does feel a bit dated and clunky. All in all though the unit has more than repaid it's cost over the last couple of years. If the maps were current I'd give a higher rating.

Navman hasn’t surprised me again – Have just installed my new mivue in car.... well tried. Will see how the camera goes tomorrow but here is my thoughts so far.... Who in there right… Read more

mind would design a dash cam that has the power cord facing up seems ridiculous to me. The screen is small but will see how the footage is, if it’s clear or not looks grainy so far. The 5 stickers for holding the power cord tidy out of the way is a token gesture of complete uselessness.

So far not impressed once again with Navman!!

Worked well until the screen started to crack from the heat of being mounted on the dash. Now after calling Navman I'm looking for a new GPS as Navman no longer repair these items, even the ones that are still under warranty. Not very happy.

Used only a few times then left in glove-box in case for a few years because I had inbuilt GPS Decided to sell it but screen is non responsive and… Read more

even after reset and other software updates, still no good, cant get past ACCEPT screen to start

Contacted Navman who tell me its a known fault with the GPS and they cant help me because its too old

I have other GPS like Garmin, and cheap ones that I used for many years no problems

Like Navigr8 Etc.

Wont ever buy a Navman again, useless

A good all use GPS – I have been using this 5inch box as all use GPS , and it's working pretty well. Able to update MAPS, FW and also can add a SD card to play with

Worst ever device – Had Since July 2022 and have given it more than a fair trial. Throughout Queensland and NSW consistently given incorrect advice. Has had regular… Read more

updates. Tells you speed cameras in shopping centers when none exist, states in highway speed zones on major highways with limit of 100 to 110 speed limit, eithere 50km or 80 in some cases. Tells you railway crossings on streets and highways where none exist. Cannot direct you to correct side of road where median strips installed and have been for several years. We have travelled from Mackay to Port Macquarie as far west to Roma, south to Lightning Ridge, Goondiwindi and all places between. Problem appears top be incorrect algorithm details possibly by third party. Don't buy.

Navman mivue 765 – My camera is a piece of junk started to record up side down buttons don't work properly would not recommend this product to anyone will be looking for another brand name this has only been used since Xmas very disappointed

Rubbish don’t buy – The only good thing about this machine is the dash cam. The gps side is rubbish. It can’t find some streets in Sydney that have been there for years. Just use your phone. No updates for software or maps. Save your money.

Wouldn’t turn on – When it was working. All good. Now it’s decided not to turn on at all, I get the orange light when charger plugged in but can’t get past the accept… Read more

button as it freezes. Then if I push the back button the screen goes blank and I can’t get any response at all. This issue was apparently due to a faulty charger cord. They seem to be specific to Navman as another cord plunger to USB would not respond. Navman fixed the issue under warranty. I’ve had Navman devices my whole life and this is the first issue I have had. If this wasn't sorted I would have never wanted to buy one again. Thank you for your help.

Tits on a bull – My Navman kept freezing so I reset it. It worked for a bit then I updated it. Since then its been stuck on the USB screen no matter what cable I… Read more

plug in.

Reset button made it worse.

Now I have a paper weight and another brand I will never buy again.
