Compare Prices : Navman S90i

Review summary: Initial impressions of the Navman S90i are disappointing as the casing looks more like a prototype than a finished product.

Verdict: Once again, the hardware consists of a 4.3-inch widescreen and SiRF Star III GPS chip, so you might expect performance is on a par with the Magellan and TomTom. Not so. It took two minutes to lock on to a GPS signal with a clear view of the sky, and ...

Review summary: Smart, clever and capable. A couple of imperfections keep it off the top spot, and we might be tempted by the camera-less S70, but it's a fine choice

Pros: Clean design. Good screen and interface

Cons: Do you need the camera?

Verdict: The S90i also has a 4.3in screen, but adds a 2MP camera for use with Navman's NavPix feature. This aligns photos with locations, to make it easier to navigate to them

Review summary: The main map view of the Navman S90i has plenty of detail but not overwhelmingly so. It's also very grey

Pros: Value for money ; Widescreen display ; Built-in camera ; Easy-to-use interface ;

Cons: Bulky ; Fiddly widescreen mount ; Built-in camera ; Disappointing POI ; Lacks flair ;

Verdict: Another benefit is geo-tagging. Every picture you take automatically has GPS reference information added to its metadata - enabling you and others to drive directly to that destination. Navman gives the example of tourist destinations like the Eiffel ...

Review summary: Navman has built up a reputation as the manufacturer of intuitive satellite navigation devices offering unique features. Its S90i (£249 inc. VAT) continues this trend, and is both easy to use and packed with features

Pros: Good screen, Lots of nifty features, Built-in camera

Cons: Pricey

Verdict: An effective and well-featured device, worth the extra pounds for sure
