Spent a lot of time weighing up the various options in this price range: I wanted a neat unit that covered Europe without breaking the bank, and with the option of traffic updates. The TomTom seemed to flimsy and unreliable, the Garmin NuVi was trying to do too many things I didn't need,a lthough it did cover Europe including Poland + Czech republic but a traffic modle was another 150 quid. The Navman covers western Europe and has the option of the T1 traffic module for an extra 50, and you can buy maps for Eastern Europe if you so wish.
The unit works straight out of the box, although the battery may need a freshen up- easily done in the car but it doesn't come with a mains charger (minus half a star there). Programming home and destinations is easy and the options are also clear. the touch screen is easy to read day or night and the touch sensitive system works well; maps are clear and available in three different views. Teh voice (male or female) is clear and volume perfectly adequate, you can turn it down or mute it completely if you wish.
Coupled with the T1 traffic module the system works pretty well at getting you around difficulties, and is subscription free. Some pelple complain about the size of the T1 aerial but this to me is not a problem and it works perfectly well just chucked on the dashboard- no need at all to use the sticky fixing mounts. The instructions for use with the T1 module were not clear and I had to play around a bit until I found the way to make the machine automatically reroute you. You need to have the navman attached to the T1 before this option appears on the menu.
My only other quibble is taht you cannot put way points on your route eg go via M6 or go via Blenheim Palace- you need to complete each section of your route before selecting your next destination. Another half star lost. Of course, you can just put your final destination in and find your own way to landmarks. Points of interest works well; the other nice touch are the Parking and Petrol buttons wich tell you the nearest car park/petrol station.
Overall a good, trustworthy unit that makes unfamiliar journeys much easier.

I have just been to the South of France and borrowed my mates Navman F20 Europe. All I can say is BRILLIANT. 976 miles each way in a country I don't know and I never looked at a map once and the Navman never made a wrong turn. Made the journey stress free, gave me plenty of warning for each turn off and told me which lane to get into miles ahead. I had researched what was the best route on the internet beforehand and this was the route that the Navman came up with as well. Even in the back streets of little towns etc it was spot on. Not a lot more to be said really.. Great Value, Easy to use, Very accurate...

Having previously owned a cable and wireless sat nav system, which took a mere 45 minutes to get a GPS signal by which time you had already arrived at your destination, the F20 european is a seriously hot piece of kit. It normally picks up a signal within about 15 seconds and there have no problems getting from A to B, including London to Austria.
Any gripes? Well a cover for it would have been nice, as would an in house charger and usb cable. However, for the money, you can't really grumble. I couldn't find the European version cheaper anywhere else.
Buy with confidence.

Bought to update my European maps since Navman stopped supporting my ICN630. The ICN630 is a dream-machine with variety of voices and languages; the F-20 has just a male or female option in English which is minimalist but effective.
She did however tell me to turn left instead of right and miss the car-park entrance, but re-computed the route so fast I forgave her for poor map-reading (maybe the male voice is programmed differently ?) Anyway, I was well-pleased. The volume needs a bit of tweaking - I think improvements are necessary there.
The optional extras are overpriced but alternatives are easily obtained. I am very pleased with the device and this is my second Navman. On the road - it works ! That is what I want and even tells me if I am driving above the speed limit which is useful as GATSOs abound. Recommended.

I set the F20 up with a friend and we were both amazed at how simple it was and how effectively it worked. This is not to say that it is infallible, but it corrects itself or adapts to your own route preferences in seconds. A wall socket charger with the package would be a bonus and it is a pain to have to order one seperately, but it does provide what it says on the box accurately and simply. I have confidence in this small, inexpensive device, with the proviso that I will retain commonsense when using it. Overall, this is relatively cheap, reliable and likely to become indispensible. I am delighted with it. Do shop around for best prices.
