Best Navman GPS Navigation Systems

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.

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"!

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

Won't switch on – My Navman Drive Duo Suv has stopped working. it was getting more and more difficult to switch it on and now it switches on for a couple of seconds then dies. I am assuming it is the battery but advice needed. Show details

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.

Money well spent – Over many years, I have owned a few different brands and models of GPS's including built in units. After a disastrous experience with one, I decided… Read more

to try a Navman MY660LMT as they were on special at that time. Right from the first time I was impressed with this unit. Now, after six years of usage I am even more impressed with the unit and the service by Navman. Cannot ever remember being given wrong directions, whether in the city or heading out into rural areas, it is comforting in its directions. The ability to choose the route that suits you from the selection offered is a great feature. Have never been let down with a No GPS warning, the free update of maps every six months is invaluable. Real time traffic warnings is also very handy.

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.

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

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).

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.

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,

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.

An excellent product – Have had this item for at 10 years plus. Travelled all over Australia and gets us to where we want to go including major cities. Updates easy. One… Read more

problem I have had a couple of times is unable to get the GPS signal. After trying all the troubleshoots I found what fixed it was to disconnect the power lead in car and turn the engine on then plug it in and all good. Suspect the problem could of been a surge from the engine when turning on ignition. Simple fix. I have had the problem about 3 times in 10 years. Assume this could also effect other models as well.

Magnificent!!! Still works in 2022, updated with Navdesk(win 11), bought in 2016 – The Navmen EZY360LMT is still with me from 2016. I have updated the map tonight once more, (free lifetime) using Navdesk app on my win 11 PC!!!… Read more

Everything of this small machine is functional as the map, so the touch response with hands free bluetooth call . Probably, becoming a silent witness of my life in Australia. Im so surprised. An Incredible Awesome!!! GPS. Avobe all, the animation of route direction and clarity of speech along with speed camera alert still the best. Suction cup has lost adhesiveness. Before It was stable and easy to install. Few regional areas and most recent suburbs build on farmlands less covered on the map. Cloudy sky- Warning signal.

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. Show details

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.

This is not good for me, can't update lifetime maps – It worked ok for 2 years, but now nothing I can't update my lifetime maps, sorry, I won't own another one ever. Show details

Below par devise – Lifetime Maps, do not exist although this was a hot selling point. My my escape spent more time being repaired than I used it for . Eventually it was… Read more

replaced but has the same lack of power issues, Support are happy for me to now pay $110.00 for them to look at it, Is this something that should have happened when it was under warranty at NO cost to me! GARMIN or TOMTOM here I come.

MY570LMT - defective - useless – Worked ok for a few months. After that the screen started playing up. It starts up as it should but within a few minutes the screen become full of… Read more

vertical digital lines and the GPS crackles. When that happens it cannot be reset or switched off. I have reset it several times; updated it using the NavDesk a few times. Nothing works. I got it new as a present, so I don't have the receipt to activate the warranty. The unit is now useless. I have a MY300 LMT on the other car, it works well.

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. Show details

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.

Undecided – Navman replaced the faulty unit. Thank you. I hope this one works properly. Will see if I have a problem with the gps? Can only see if this unit is better. Show details

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
