For 90 it's a great unit. Spec on Amazon says it's a SIRF II GPS receiver but it's incorrect the product is actually a SIRF III which is much better, one of the most sensitive on the market.
I think that software may be improved (but this is true for any sat nav) but overall I think it's great unit. Very sensitive (achieves a lock even indoors) and with full Europe maps.
I wouldn't trade it for an expensive unit.
There is a software update on navigon web (version 6.1) that works much better than the installed software. If you are concerned about warranty then buy a 2G SD card ( 10) copy all the original SD card content onto the new card and use the 2nd card. Then you can update the software and the maps on the 2nd card, and still keep the original card in case you are concerned about warranty. Basically you can ran different software/map on different cards.
 Very Disapointed July 19, 2008

I was expecting an improved version of the 4 year old Transonic (Navigon 4) satnav already in my posession. Yes is does come with maps pre-installed on the 2 gig SD card and it does 'appear' to have intigrated cross border maps - although it takes some 20 minutes to find a route to Switzerland or Norway. It also appears to have TMC (not found anything on it yet) and Camera alert (but you do have to activate it by asking what it is first), but it does seem to have all the rubbish proprties of Navigon 4, can't cope with 2 roundabouts together, just forgets to tell you about some junctions and other 'querks'
To top it all, the maps are so out of date as to be no more use than my 4 yr old Navigon 4, unless you pay the 69 to update the maps. I am going to return mine and search again for (and pay for) the latest version with the 30 day map update guarantee.
This model is OK if you are tight for cash and want some of the latest features, but think very carefully if you want up-to-date maps and navigation techniques!!!
Not at all a happy bunny.
Not bad for 90 July 28, 2008

I have read the reviews on this product, no one seems too happy with it, so I thought id put up my first review with the view to help everyone out. Firstly I will say I had the same problems that were mentioned by previous reviewers, howver after doing the following(see below) everything is perfect!
So for the ones that have kept it and not returned it back, the latest software for this product is version 6.2 build 902(FREE UPDATE). To get this all you need to do is Install Navigon FRESH on your PC (free software on Navigon site) --- http://www.navigon.com/site/uk/en/maps_services/navigon_fresh -- It runs on XP/Vista. Once you have installed the program everything is self explanetory. The first thing I would advise in navigon FRESH is to backup your SD card (contains original MN6 files, you will need a card reader). Once you have backed up the card (takes about 30mins), then run the software update (takes 10mins). The update is VERRRY useful, along with the latest software, it also has the latest version of POIwarner, 1.10, this updates all the POI, trust me I was shocked when i did the update and found my local tesco( 1 year old) on the map!!! The 6.2 update fixe's a number of issues, firstly my TMC works everywhere I have been (london, m1, m25 area), the system is much much faster (TIP keep animation off in basic settings - improves speed), Calculations and reroutes are working like any other sat nav (5-6 seconds to recalculate), routes are also perfect i did a nearby search on POI for a park and it found it, plus many other updates. OH THE SAFTEY CAMERAS have also been updated quite well with POI 1.10....:). I did a route from london to zurich it calculated it in under 1 minute!
If you do the above then id also advise purchasing a spare SD card, I bought a Transcend 4GB Secure Digital(SD) (NOT SDHC) Card Product code is TS4GSDC, the original is now safly back in the box. The reason I purchased this is because a. I wanted to have a perm backup of my card b. the future maps will get bigger for Europe, the current size is 1.7GB, I have heard the new maps size is going to be 2.1gb with new POI etc.
Moving onto the subject of MAPS well they are very old, but that is the case with most sat nav's when you buy them after they have been on the market for a while, for 55 you get 24months worth of maps updates, I dont think that is too bad, Im sure there will be about 2-3 updates in 24months, which works out quite good.
The actual physical hardware of the system is actually still very up-to-date, it has the SIRFIII chip whcih is still in all new sat navs, and it also has the same Samsung processer and WIN ce 5 which new sat navs have. The only thing I kinda did not like was how fat it was, but for for 90 and all the included extras, chargers, stylus stick etc you cant go wrong. Also everything I have mentioned is within the warrenty and nothing will get invalid.
The GPS signal... first time out of the box takes 20mins to connect, after that it is up straight away once the system has started (about 1minute average time to start). TIP start the sat nav before your car is moving, strangly I have found when I start driving the GPS connection takes longer to connect! Also if your having problems with the touchscreen not responding when you tap then just recalobrate it and all is fine.
I hope this helps everyone who has this model. Hopefully all the previous reviewers will see this review!! :) good luck!
 Cannot Update Map July 21, 2008

Well made product, came with Europe map for 2006. Have been unable to update the map to latest version. Navigon website is not helpful - the update requires (apparently) a complete new SD memory card that cost more than the original device. The download software says that files must be removed to make room for the new map. This however kills the warranty according to the telephone support people. So it is a catch 22 situation. Also telephone support is expensive premium rate stuff - especially when they don't answer the telephone! Eventually the telephone support was polite and did try, but basically failed.
Shame really!
