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.

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

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.

My Navman F20 does not work outside the main cities in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Pay a little more money and buy a better system.

I bought a Navman F20 not long after I bought my car last year. With many trips to Wales, Scotland and plenty of National Parks it made sense to have one of these sat navs to help me find places I've never been to.
The first Navman F20 GPS I bought was through Amazon.co.uk. It was dead on arrival, so had to go back for a replacement (Amazon were great).
The replacement was fine for about 5 months, before it stopped working while I was on holiday! Talk about lightning not striking twice!
Inevitably, this car GPS was returned and the cost refunded, which went towards my Navman N20.
To be fair, I'll never criticise Navman or their F20. I guess I got a couple of duds, which is just one of those things. It didn't put me off - I bought another Navman as a replacement!

I have had the Navman F20 sat nav for just over a year now and i have covered some 30,000 miles and this little beast has never got me lost! the fast find fuel station button has been a bit of a life saver a couple of times. I have now given this to my father in law who has found his tom tom a bit to complicated to use. I am upgrading to the S90i model.

Buy one not enough bad points to put me off the Navman F20 sat nav. Recommend. Very good gets you A/B within 2 doors of where you want to go. Never got me lost and with caravan important to know where your going.

Absolute rubbish and I've spent 16 months with it. Sometimes goes totally gaga - I would NEVER recommend this. Rubbish to anyone.

If you get a Navman F20 as a present like I did, ask for the receipt and get a foot bath or something else. Charger point broke free. Rubbish at long distance stuff. Would NOT recommend.

I would buy their new sat nav systems, but their old ones are very hard to use.

The Navman F20 is really easy to use and read. The voice is clear. The price is reasonable and it performs as well as some of its higher priced competitors. On occasion it has directed me to a dead end and it has informed me that my destination is on the left, when in fact it is on the right. That said, I have never been lost! I would score this 9 out of 10.
