Navman F20

The Navman F20 is easy to use and good value, but as many other people have experienced, it no longer charges from the car....

got a Navman F20 2 years ago, it has never let me down

First time with a stand alone sat nav as had in car ones before. I liked the Navman F20 but the same as a previous reviewer, it stopped taking a charge and wouldn't change options and then just died.

The Navman F20 satnav was looked after very well. Was never dropped or anything and it won't charge anymore for some reason.

Great build quality - a real solid feel to it and the totally flat back was ideal for sitting flush against the centre air-vents in my car. Its ease of use was a big bonus also - you could literally throw away the instruction manual after 5 mins. Replaced it for an updated model of another make and have regretted it since!

I bought a different make of sat nav because it was on offer and had more updates on camera locations and streets etc, but its given me no end of problems such as not detecting gps, and the screen 'freezing' etc.. A bad buy that cost me twice as much as the F20.

I was very happy until the speaker failed, surfing the web it does not sound (excuse the pun) to be an unusual occurrance.

The satnav work still but the speaker or sound is a must, especially for safety camera update.

This is my 3rd sat nav device and I am already planning my 4th as this unit is useless. The vocal navigation doesn't always follow the map, on one occassion driving through Wales It said turn left and as I did it said turn right while the map showed the road going straight ahead. Have been taken down some unknown and unusable roads/lanes barely wide enough for a car, god help anyone pulling a caravan. Have used a Tom Tom previuosly which gave a better choice of route selection and roads to avoid and a choice of vehicle size etc, so I am looking for a Sat Nav with similar settings.

I got a navman f20 in 2006 it is the best thing i have ever got i have never been let down if road closed it re roots you it is value for money and you dont need a big map its mint, really good value.

You have got to upgrade speed cameras i dont now how to or if it costs

I used my Navma F20 only 10 times before a problem developed with the USB port and it would no longer charge from the car (a common problem with the F20). I sent it back for repair and it came back with the same fault, and now the unit is incapable of finding a satalite, despite having performed a factory re-set of the GPS. (hold down on/off button & menu button together to enter maintenance menu). It has now got to go back a second time for repair. Navman don't seem willing to replace it until they have had at least three or four goes at fixing it they tell me. Please review this unit carefully before you part with your money as it seems a lot of people are having problems with this satnav.

Have purchased three, a Navman 320 lasted about a year before the on/off switch broke. Replaced with F20 for my partner already been returned for a new mother board and a F30 which has been returned for repair and now won't charge and the traffic system refuses to work.
