    Good Points: Can talk to an operator and they can sometimes work out where you want to go if you are unsure of full details. Apparently will even book accomodation for you then give you a route to the hotel.

    Bad Points: Mapping for Northern Ireland very poor, often seems to think that the road I am on goes through the middle of a field. Expensive when compared to the price of portable sat nav these days.

    General comments: The Smartnav sat nav unit came in my Rover 75 as standard and I am glad I did not pay for it. Pretty useless in Northern Ireland due to poor and out of date mapping. Not tried it in England so may be better there. Seems to get itself lost a lot and always recalculating the route. I live out in the sticks and it doesn't seem to have many of the roads I drive on in the right place in its mapping so seems to want me to drive through fields to stay on route at times. Not having a screen I find it very hard to follow the voice directions in town, especially at complex junctions. Often says I have arrived at my destination when I am still a couple of miles away. Have taken the pay as you go option in case I ever need to use it, but have pretty much given up on it.

    The Smartnav is expensive, can't be moved from car to car, poor reliability, had 3 now and they all broke down, expensive cost of engineer's visit to repair it. I will buy a portable sat nav next time.

    Had the Smartnav sat nav installed in a new car and definitely not worth the money. Instructions were often too late and the rerouting took some time to catch up. It also sent me on some weird journeys. Once coming off the slip road on a motorway and then sending me back again! Graphics fairly poor compared to cheaper models. Customer service a nightmare to get through to - you queue forever. With an initial outlay of £600+ and a monthly subscription on top - you can definitely get a bet ...

    Had it for 3 years. Fitted when car was new, paid over £600! Had 5 or 6 service calls to try to improve signal strength/reception, all to no avail. Very expensive to run, speed camera detection very unreliable, only updated if you use the navigation system, so out of date if you only use Nav infrequently, sometimes not working at all. Dreadful in large cities, especially if you are traveling quite quickly/frequently, giving instructions too late, and recently telling me to do a U-Turn on a ...

    Overpriced compared to the Navman that I also have which is an excellent device. Also the Navman is hardwired into the car whereas the Navman can be used anywhere and in any vehicle. I often use my Navman when hiring cars in the US and in Europe when it comes into its own. Unfortunately I cannot do the same with SmartNav.

    I would not recommend this Sat Nav there are so many better ones on the market, you just need to look around.

    I have had this Smartnav installed in my car for three years and I use it 2 - 3 times a day. It has saved me many hours of sitting in traffic jams as the Trafficmaster works brilliantly. In all of this time it has only failed one or twice and this has been due to poor mobile phone coverage. A bit more expensive than a TOM TOM and you have an annual fee but I would definitely purchase this again.

    Adequate if you keep to motorways or rural roads. Beyond that very disappointing.

    Following installation of the Smartnav Satellite Navigation system, the only visible change to your car is a small black button. Press and hold the button and the in-system mobile phone connects you to a friendly call centre operator and asks 'where would you like to go?'. Once you've agreed the exact location, the route is sent to your car, processed and route guidance begins. The system works well. You can add a small mono-display screen. Although not fitted to my vehicle, I can imagine t ...
