Great discounts on these items. Enjoy :)
One more option:
Pricehistory from Pricehipster
same have an old lmt ….this unit has dash cam and it seems collisions avoidance warning …..
I am using ezy260lmt bought from 2016. Its map is still up to date. The device is very good
Same info regarding traffic congestion as Google maps etc?
Google Maps has rendered these things useless.
Totally agree on that… Such a thing of yesteryear
Tell that to a P-plate driver.
i hate google tracking me which what happens when gps is turned on , also dedicated gps comes with mounting kit so always working, no need to turn on gps on phone and mount on windows …. turn on ignition and go.
CarPlay and Android Auto negates most of those issues. Nothing to mount, nothing attached to windows, sound from car audio and not small device speaker, voice activated so no glancing down at a small screen etc.
This is still not useful for any P plate unfortunately.
@WhatWhoWhyUsername: Why is that? You're not handling your phone when it's connected to CarPlay or Android Auto, though?
@Slave1: Using your phone to play audio in itself, would still be illegal for p platers.
That would be considered using your phone.
@Butt Scratcher: So even not touching your phone is considered touching your phone?
With CarPlay and Android Auto, you don’t need to touch your phone. That’s the whole point.
@Slave1: as above, it is still illegal. pretty stupid law IMO but the law is the law,

@Slave1: Yeah, that's how it is. Pretty crap isn't it?
From memory, the way the act deals with the use of mobile phones is that it states that you can't use it at all. With EXCEPTIONS, including audio, gps, bluetooth calls etc. Of course these exceptions only apply to drivers with full licence.
So as a P plater, these exceptions don't apply to you. Leaving you not able to even use your phone for audio.
Not every state let's you use a phone as a GPS - there's a few where that is illegal.
Really interesting? I did not know that. please tell us which states?
(definetely not NSW, as long as it is mounted/handsfree)
So the only difference between the two of them is that the Duo has an inbuilt dash cam?
are the maps updated often and for free ?
i've bought GPS units before and found 'free' map updates, would stop after a couple of years of buying the GPS unit.
( also, the map updates were not often either )
mine has lifetime maps …..have been getting several updates a year for the last 5 years …love it.
Yeah for example TomTom stopped honoring lifetime updates for the entire generation of their old products - but to be fair the list goes back to 10 years of TomTom navigator devices. https://www.tomtom.com/en_au/legacy/
Is the dash cam on the duo good? I don't need GPS. Isn't phone better these day?
need to mount phone on window which is a hassle, and remove when getting out of car or someone will break into car to steal phone …..also would you leave phone mounted on window on 40c day and charging ?
gps mounted on window and ready to go is very convenient.
or can buy a second hand phone/tablet just for the purpose of GPS.
it works well,…even with Google offline maps

Last time I posted a warning about a garbage product I got trolled and when I defended myself ended up in the penalty box. Please don't respond to my message. If you don't like the reviews or don't agree with them, that's fantastic, my warning is not for you.
Nearly add it to cart , retreated after reading this reviews, thank you !!
I recommend you read the reviews of the competition, there's a lot of negative reviews there too. For example:
https://www.productreview.com.au/p/garmin-nuevi-essential-se…
I think people mostly leave reviews on the productreview website if they have a problem. At least Navman responded to some of the reviews, offering help. Garmin don't respond, from what I can see.
The point is people only complain about the problems, not for the good things because if something is working well, you don’t ever mind its existence:))). The reviews is for reference only
First of all, no. Lots of products out there with genuine glowing reviews. So that's just nonsense.
Secondly you don't just look at the counts. You also look at the nature of the most common complaints and decide if you can live with that, and whether the complaints are just nit picking, user error etc.
If you just buy without taking any account of the experience of others you can't complain when you buy a lemon.
I really don't know why I waste my time here some days.
Thanks OP. I might upgrade my Tom Tom, love my current GPS. Speed cams, traffic and your actual current speed AND dash cam! These things are great, especially for those of us that rack on many km's a year.
how can I update software on my old Navman without having to pay a fortune…Buying a new GPS is cheaper than updating old maps..which is in perfect condition otherwise.
The 350 older unit as well, only issue is the screen is starting to lose brightness, difficult to see during day time
Have you updated it? should be white background in the day and black background at night.
Yes black background at night is fine since it’s dark outside , but during day time, the white background has become very hard to see . Even at full brightness
Does anyone know the input method of the Navman GPS? Do you enter the street number, followed by the street name and state or the way that TomTom does, which is the state first, street name and lastly street number?
I had only used Garmin and I really do not like the input method of TomTom.
I have both a 2014 Garmin and the Navman Duo. Garmin UX is a lot better than Navman. With Navman, you'd probably have to do 1-3 steps more to do the same thing on a Garmin. That said, it's still 50/50 for me.
Positives
Garmin = User friendliness, overall reliability
Navman = Features and Cost
Negatives
Garmin = More expensive
Navman = Seems to have more bugs and interface is not so user friendly
Well said, I borrowed a Garmin once and it was much easier to use as a first timer than the Navman I owned for more than a year
Entering the post code is faster and accurate, also save time. This way works well in all gps devices. All you need are post code, street name, street number. That’s it
How does the MiVUE700 compare to other popular dashcams? I can't find any reviews. Wondering if it's worth the extra $34 over the standalone GPS.
Has anyone bought these and then put an unlocked OS onto them - they seem like really good value as little devices if you don't actually use the navman software itself.
Not talking to P-Platers I was thinking about buying this, but I just downloaded Waze and it does all the things that this does - speed limit, current speed, traffic cameras, congestion, gps etc. Only thing not there is the webcam. So people might want to have a look into that.
I have an earlier model, the EZY350LMT. It's a good unit, automatically gets traffic and roadworks info through an inbuilt radio receiver, doesn't need connection to a smartphone.
