You have to input your address search twice to get this unit to make it work; there have been a few times it will not find the address that you may be looking for in its database.
If you try to run both the navigation software and all the other database software it seems to slow down its processing speed.
If you ever lose battery power completely you will have to reload the navigation software all over again! I do NOT particularly recommend this unit (even though I own ... Read More
Rating: - This thing totally sucks !!!
Horrible software - very hard to enter addresses. Lets say you're looking for restaurants, you'll need to enter a 'Area'. So you enter a city - it will bring up several options with the same city name. You don't know which to choose. It cannot serach for POIs based on the current location.
Worst gizmo investment I ever made.
Rating: - GPS and software are fine; Windows and the PC platform useless
I got this as a gift in Christmas of 04. All the other things you have read are basically true: good value, lots of accessories included, everything you need is in the box, except a decent sized memory card.

Having to install NavMan into the thing straight out of the box before you could use it was ... Read More
Rating: - Navman Pin100 forget it
I have a Navman Pin 100 and the latest software SmartST 2005 and it still sucks as a GPS unit. The new software offers very little if any improvement over the old. The Tech support is poor also, they know the problems but can't offer any real solutions for you. I put my address in and it told me that there was not enought info. Would not recommend this unit to anyone looking for a GPS solution. If they would improve the address location there may be some hope for the thing. Battery life isn't very ... Read More
Rating: - Definately hasn't gotten the acclaim it deserves..
I've been using my PiN 100 for almost 2 years now and on an almost daily basis. I drive all over the state of Oregon and Washington for my job. I have to make multiple stops daily and to almost always never the same place twice. The PiN has done an excellent job at getting me from point A to B.
For me, the GPS finds it's location typically within 1-2 minutes. Definately not the 10-15 minutes others have stated.
The software can be a little difficult to find an address at ... Read More
