Satellite navigation review
Navman iCN330
The iCN330 is a neat looking unit with some slick touches.
For example, as you get closer to your destination a bar fills up on screen to show you how far through your journey you are. When a turning is approaching the bar turns red to give you warning, we thought this was clever piece of design
Setting up the unit is easy enough although the windscreen mount could have done with a larger range of adjustment - one of testers found it tricky to locate the Navman conveniently in their car. Still, the iCN330 is easy to program apart from the fact it only accepts five figure postcodes, which can be annoying.
Once you're underway the routes chosen are efficient and the instructions are generally good. Unfortunately, the unit sometimes gets roundabouts and junctions mixed up, which lost it some marks.
The iCN330 can't access information about congestion though and if you are looking for a small portable sat nav device we'd recommend the Garmin Nuvi instead.
