Navman N60i review

At first glance, Navman’s new N60i portable GPS appears to be very similar to Navman iCN 750 that I reviewed in July. At that time, I concluded that although the iCN 750 was a nice, usable GPS, it was way too expensive for its feature set. Now, four months later, this latest model ups the ante by being both more capable and lower priced.The first thing that you’ll notice about the N60i is that whereas it’s approximately the same size as the iCN 750, (3.3 by 5.5 by 0.91 inches), the N60i is a quarter-inch thinner and has a larger, 4.3-inch screen. The bigger display also has a better, antiglare surface. The N60i weighs in at 8.5 ounces, 2.1 ounces lighter than the iCN 750. The reduced weight and thickness is most likely due to the device’s use of solid-state memory as compared with the 4GB hard drive used by the iCN 750. The N60i stores all of its map and POI data in 2GB of onboard flash memory. Built-in maps cover North America (the United States and Canada), Alaska, Hawaii, and interestingly, Puerto Rico, which is listed under States. And, as you would expect, battery life has improved, currently rated at up to 5 hours (depending on use).Both GPSs are based on the SiRFstar second-generation receiver module and are known for fast time to first fix (TTFF), as well as excellent receiver sensitivity. The N60i also did away with the fold up “patch” antenna found on the iCN 750—a welcome change.
