I like the Easy Address Entry feature that lets me enter an address in a natural way (i.e: street number, street name, and suburb all in one go) and the Smart Find feature where I can just enter the name of a place right away without having to find out its exact address (like the name of a cafe or restaurant). I took quite a long drive over the weekend to test the unit out (visiting a friend’s birthday party an hour away, going to the shopping mall, etc) and so far it’s been solid. It is fine as long as you don’t make lots of quick turns in succession.ĭespite all those, the EZY400LMT took me to where I wanted to go fast and accurately. EZY400LMT is powered by a 664 Mhz processor where as the new MY670LMT is powered by a faster 800 Mhz processor. But to be fair, no GPS unit runs a processor as powerful as your smartphone.
NAVDESK FOR MAC UPDATE
The screen updates every half or one second which may not be fast enough to some, especially if you’re used to using your smartphone that provides a really smooth update non-stop. These problems seem to disappear once I drove out of the city, so I assume this was caused by a weak GPS module within the unit perhaps (i.e not strong enough within the city area with tall buildings)?Īnd then the performance. Or worse, assumed falsely about my current location for a few seconds before recalculating again. At random intervals, it would get confused trying to get a fix of my position and then doing route recalculation. When I drive around the city of Melbourne, the unit struggles at times to see where I am or which direction I am facing, even when I already got a GPS lock and the car was moving. The one I used before, the MY650LMT, is their higher end (and I’m going to publish the review of the new MY670LMT in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for that).Īs such, performance on the EZY400LMT is not its best forte. Navman EZY400LMT can be considered as Navman’s lower end of GPS model. The charging cable is long enough that you can tidy things up on your car dashboard to make it look less cluttered. Removing it, is also a no brainer and should only take less than 3 seconds in total. Installing Navman EZY400LMT on the windscreen is as easy as Navman’s other Car GPS models.
