iNav iGuidance 2.1.3 Review
Pocketgpsworld has posted a review of the iNav iGuidance 2.1.3
Conclusion
iNav iGuidance is a very solid and easy to learn entry level program with the advantage of good map management and the ability to be used both on your mobile device and your laptop computer.
It doesn’t offer the advanced functions of the leading programs (like itinerary or POI warnings) but it does have some unique and useful features like speed limit warning and side-of-the-road announcement.
iNav iGuidance is a good value for money, currently selling for 109 USD at the Yahoo store.

Navman iCN 320
Navman has introduced a in-car satellite navigation system the Navman iCN 320.
According to Nvman some of its key features include
-
* Portable & user friendly
* Door-to-door navigation
* Voice-guided directions
* Rechargeable battery
* No PC connection required
Its lightweight design allows you to use it even outside the car as a handheld GPS device.
In addition to the above the price of the iCN 320 which is currently 410$ (at Newegg) make it look really tempting.
However a review from Pocket-lint is quite disapointing
VERDICT With full functioning GPS units only a fraction more than this unit, Navman have cut too many features for us to really make this worth considering. The small screen and lack of a decent sized map meant that at one point we actually had to consult a paper map to see what was going on (not good). What makes it worse is that the replacement for the map is neither here nor there. If you are going to have arrows then Navman, in our mind, should have made them bigger and ditched the map all together, after all it is so damn small there seems little point in it anyway. If you don’t like the idea of a distracting map in front of you, this might be the solution (after all Mrs Pocket-lint loved it for its simplicity) however for us, spending £279 we expected less corners to be cut.
