Hi guys,

Quick question, out of the 2, what would people prefer - the Navman ICN 520 or the newer Navman F20? I ask as I have the ICN520 and on the whole it is good although GPS fixes can take forever - but I have bought an external antenna and that has helped alot. But now I have the option of having a Navman F20 for only £108 - could probably sell the 520 for about the same.

Just want an idea of what people think is the better choice?

Thanks :)

    Get a TomTom One, Better than Both.
  • I have a Navman ICN520 and personally found the supplied mapping to be way out of date and hopelessly inaccurate. In fact it's made so many routing errors that I just don't use it now and prefer a "real" map and asking locals for directions!
    So, unless Navman have improved, in answer to the poll, a third option - non of the above!

    I know TomTom are good but the best system I used was a VDO dayton, But then again it did cost close to £2000.00
