I was sold this iCN 550 unit on the basis that it had 100% European road coverage due to the travelling I do. I live in Portugal - only the main roads in Portugal are covered - no in-town roads (except the major cities like Lisbon and even that is incomplete) - many towns only have the name shown in the middle of a blank area. The maps were badly out of date when I bought it as 'the newest model' (Jan 2006). I contacted Navman and was told new maps were being prepared and would be available shortly - they never were! Any GPS device you can't get map updates for at least 5 or 6 years should never be sold.
From time to time it goes haywire and can take you miles out of your way for no reason - on one occasion it then took us back to where we started!
I would NEVER touch Navman again due to the lousy maps and lack of support - though the actual device is excellent, robust, clear screen and easy to use.
