Default Attn: Navman owners

I'm considering investing in a Navman for the car, and I'm tossing up between the iCN510 in-car unit and the PiN 300 portable unit.

Just wondering what people's experiences are with either of these units? In particular, I'm interested in knowing what the visibility/clarity of the screens is like, as well as how clear the audio is on them (don't want something that sounds quiet or tinny).

All comments gratefully accepted.

Mods, if this is better off in another area, please feel free to move.

I'm not a navman owner - but the Garmin 2610 is a beauty if you want to change brands.

I'm relatively unfamiliar with them, but i know another member who has an ICS630 and is wrapt with it. Seems like a very good investment, and i will be picking one up as soon as i can afford it - they're not cheap!

I agree, but the iCN510 and the PiN300 are about half the price of the iCN600 series, and I'm buggered if I can see where the extra money goes. I guess $900 isn't bad when you consider all the features they have...

The Navman has a tendancy to forget to tell you about one-way streets ... which isn't really all that good.

I'll be purchasing a Garmin soon ... just figuring out which one is best for my needs
