The iCN 520's easy-to-use interface makes navigation second nature. </td></tr></table> The best feature of the iCN 520 is its user-friendly interface. Simply type in your destination on the touchscreen and let the iCN 520 plan the best route for you to take. All information is displayed on a 3.5-inch landscape LCD with 320 x 240 resolution and support for up to 65,000 colors. During the journey, you'll also receive clear voice instructions to guide you, letting you focus on your driving. The iCN 520's 12-channel GPS receiver is driven by Navman's SmartST 2005 software, which contains highly detailed maps for your region. The maps offer you all possible information including nearby cross streets, emergency service locations, or your preferred points of interest (POIs). SmartST 2005 is packed with other outstanding features, including 3-D map view, zip-code search, back-on-track rerouting (for when you take a wrong turn), area avoidance (so you can dodge the traffic hotspots), and an extensive POI database. The Active POI function allows you to set an alarm to tell you when a particular POI is approaching, and it also allows you to navigate to your closest POI, such as a gas station. SmartST 2005 also provides ongoing journey information, including ETA, distance to go, time to go, and remaining miles/km per hour. The Navman iCN 520 comes complete with North American maps, including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Guam, on CD-ROM, so you can easily download your preferred region to a portable SecureDigital (SD) Card (a 256 MB SD card is included). As a convenience, the SmartST 2005 navigation software provides navigation and voice guidance in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish. Thanks to an internal rechargeable battery and an easy-to-use windshield mounting unit, you can move the iCN 520 from car to car with ease. You can even use it outside the car as a handheld device to help guide you to your final destination on foot with street-level maps. What's in the Box
iCN 520 GPS receiver, SmartST 2005 3-D navigation software with preloaded TeleAtlas Mapping Data, vehicle windshield mounting bracket, 12V vehicle power cable, AC adapter, USB cable, carry case, quickstart guide, and CD-ROMs (user manual, Adobe Acrobat Reader, SmartST 2005 navigation software).

Excellent GPS System.......2006-12-21

I have owned the product for over a year, and it has always performed wonderfully. Gets a GPS fix in 30 - 45 secs the first time you turn it on each day, and if you shut it off during the day, it fires right back up getting its GPS fix within 15 seconds. I have the 2005 Smart ST maps, and they are very accurate. I have only noticed a few incidents of mapping errors (telling you to make a turn that is illegal, house number range off, etc...) No major mapping problems though. I have tried the Magellan 360, and looked at others, Garmin, Tom Tom, and for the price, this is the best way to go. Get a fast SD Card, so you don't get lockups in the software - I had made this mistake initially - buying a cheap SD card, and it would freeze during route calculations. Picked up a 1GB Sandisk Ultra II, and it works great, no more freezing, and I have about 1/2 the USA loaded on the card. I absolutely recommend this to anybody who wants a quality GPS System at a reasonable price.

Horrible.......2006-11-10

Worked well maybe once! After that I couldn't get a satellite lock no matter what. I live in sunny Florida. No reason for it to have such a hard time locking on. Too bad the actual GPS part didn't work well because the graphics, user interface and shape were quite nice.

I bought this item as a suprise for my husband, he uses it every day for work. He no longer has to print out maps, he just types in the address and it takes him right to his destination. Good product for the price.

Navman 520.......2006-11-05

The unit started to send error messages when I was loading the state maps off of the CDs. All data was lost (I spent several hours loading the data at that point), and then it wouldn't take any data off of the CDs at all. I ordered a different brand, and am much happier with it.

Great GPS for the price!.......2006-08-16

I bought this baby for $300, it has all the info for
maps from Mexico to Alaska. Nice easy to read display.
The push button menu key sucks, everything else is great.
