Despite the niggles, the Navman S30 is still a very sound choice if you're looking for decent sat-nav on a budget. Not only is it cheaper than its main competition - the Mio C220 - but it also manages to pack a whole load of innovative features in, including spoken road names and junctions on major routes, and is much easier to use. Good quality mapping, solid route choices, speedy performance and class-leading planning, browsing and editing tools means the S30 really stands out in a crowded and intensively competitive marketplace.

I bought one of these units from the Navman Clearance store. The unit was re-packaged after being returned by a dis-satisfied customer. I am another. They can take 5 minutes or more on start up to find you, the maps are NOT up to date, and cost £70 to update, compared to Tom Tom's £30. The safety cam feature is a 'trial', I would hope the real thing is better then, because at £70 (compared to Tom Tom's £20) it warns you if you're in the VICINITY of a camera, you may NOT be on the same road! WHY?? Driving down the motorway, if the road you are crossing (via a bridge etc) has a safety camera on it, the alarm sounds and it flashes up the road's speed limit, not detecting you are on a MOTORWAY. Occasionally it 'loses' me on the road and takes another 5 to 10 minutes to find me again. This NEVER happens with my Tom Tom, nor with my son's Garmin. What do I think of the S30? BUY A MAP!
