tough to find reviews, apart from this very brief one. Sounds like its not a complete dog, I will give it a try (sets alarm for 11:55)

    - effgee on 31/10/2014 - 13:42
      
      @hashtagbargain:
      
      Soundbar - I jumped on because the specs were good, name brand, $50. Then I read reviews that suggested poor quality and high failure rate. It took over a month to be delivered, then the reviews turned out 100% accurate, subwoofer made random pop noises all the time (even when not in use) then it failed completely after 2 weeks. So I wasted an hour of my life returning it to DSE.

  Customer reviews of other products in this product line seem to be consistently poor. I don't normally put too much faith in them but when all of them (including the two for this product on Dick Smith) give 1 star reviews, something is up.

Does the feature Live Traffic Updates require a separate purchase / subscription?
- sheep-flown on 31/10/2014 - 12:06
  
  I don't think so. According to the user manual they are using FM radio data to provide traffic updates. And on their site I can't seem to find any signs that suggests this function req. separate purchase.
  
  Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please! I'm really tempted to get a GPS unit esp. given this price!

Also couldn't find any reviews. Although there are quite a few poor reviews for NAVMAN in general. But for 50 odd bucks might give it a go
Hoju on 31/10/2014 - 08:55

Honest opinions - when are gps any good? I sell a lot of stuff on eBay / gumtree and the number of times people say their gps has sent them in ridiculous 10-20km loops past our place just makes me wonder. And no our place is not hard to get to, it's one turn off a major road and if you miss that one there's plenty more options!

  Mapping errors do happen, I had somewhat similar problem for years in UBD printed street directory, nothing to do with GPS. Generally I found GPSes absolutely brilliant piece of technology, but one can not surrender full control to them - being aware and thinking is still required (however NAVMAN is not really that good).
  When you travel overseas, once you try it with GPS, there is no way going back (no pun intended)!
  - lonewolf on 31/10/2014 - 09:42
    
    From my experience, I have not found any type of phone or GPS / car gps to outperform the TomToms when it comes to best route (time saving / speed) and most accurate timing. Even the Google maps / navigation falls behind. I dont know how the Tomtoms do it, maybe its their formula or years of experience and also they have these features where it sort of learns from you and other drivers using those routes i think but time and time again i am really impressed with them.
    - MustResistPurchase on 31/10/2014 - 09:48
      
      Don't TomToms have some sort of information sharing system on them? IQ Routes or something.

  Dedicated GPS units: their advantages over smartphones is they tend to work when the weather is warm / hot. Smartphones (because they are so thin nowadays) are not ideal to be mount close to the windshield under hot weather for a prolong period of time. Thermal protection auto cut-off for phones may kick in when you use smartphones as GPS for a long period of time. Another advantage of dedicated GPS units is that they tend to include speed camera warnings out of the box (not that you should be speeding).
  
  Compared to in car / built-in GPS to car: dedicated GPS units tend to have better / more routing options, speed camera warning. However, in car nagivation system can work without GPS signal due to having information about the speed of the car and digital compass (in car ones work inside a tunnel or a carpark).

"Lifetime Free Maps Built-In" is only for the products recommended lifespan not unlimited map updates forever
"The life of the product (“Useful Life”) is defined as the period of time that your device is serviceable and/or supportable by Navman, or until the software is superseded and can no longer be supported." apparently this is about 2-3 years.

  what is Live Traffic and how does it work?
  How is it Live?
  - TRENT86 on 31/10/2014 - 11:21
    
    Free Live Traffic Updates
    Don’t be fooled by hidden fees or letters like ‘HD’, when you can have live traffic news and information from Navman with absolutely no fees. We use real-time traffic information that measures traffic on city roads, reliable information from Suna sourced from nationwide traffic authorities, as well as road sensors and cameras to update you about conditions ahead every 3 minutes. All fee-free.
    - g12345567 on 31/10/2014 - 11:25
      
      Live traffic not available in all areas.
      
      SUNA GPS Traffic Updates are transmitted across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra metropolitan areas. Within each broadcast area, we transmit traffic updates for major arterial roads, freeways, and tollways.
      
      In cities where the SUNA service is operating, you will enjoy one of the world’s most comprehensive real-time traffic services

      @g12345567: Dam that's pretty good, I didnt' think they would have that much info across Aus
    - cristtos on 31/10/2014 - 11:34
      
      @g12345567:
      The website clarified it, is FM radio - cool:
      The current frequencies are:
      
      Melbourne – 104.3 and 101.1
      Sydney – 106.5 and 103.2
      Brisbane – 97.3 and 102.1
      Gold Coast – 105.7
      Adelaide – 102.3
      Perth – 94.5
      Canberra – 106.3
      
      It is generally not advisable to manually lock the device onto a single frequency as receivers are designed to automatically search other stations carrying the SUNA service. Also if the frequency changes, or you travel to another state, the unit may not work. If you continue to have difficulties with the unit automatically finding the frequency, please refer to the retailer of purchase your device manufacturer.
      
      If you are using a connected device such as a Smartphone application, SUNA Live Traffic Updates is broadcast via a mobile data connection.

I use HERE traffic Traffic Patterns™ on my S5 (there's a nokia app for it, free!) and I have to say I like it a LOT more than google maps. The only minor issue I have with it is that it forces you to type the entire address whilst google maps will 99% of the time suggest the correct address after you type just a few letters.

  EDST is the time in the eastern states NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS when daylight saving is in operation. This means the daeal will start:
  
  12pm NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS
  11.30am SA, Broken Hill
  11am QLD
  10.30am NT
  9am WA

EDST is the acronym for eastern daylight savings time, so the sale starts in VIC and NSW at 12pm, 11am in QLD

  The correct acronym is actually AEDT.
wfdTamar on 31/10/2014 - 11:37

I've tried a Navman EZY200LMT and found it pretty good. I usually use an older TomTom Go 720.

The Navman has a bright screen (lots don't), speed warning (can save you the purchase price in one shot). I do find the female voice used a complete irritating bogan (compared to the lovely Irish voice I use on the TomTom). Changed to another language just to avoid hearing it. Pity they don't have a greater range of voices.
