Navman Icn 520 (510)

[italiastar]

Has anyone got a Navman 520 (or 510) SAT NAV and does it work in ShaGalBra (or whatever the name is) with a heated windscreen? I'm thinking of getting one and would like to know.

I've used one in a Primera with heated screen with no problems (ICN510)

My Wife has a 510 that we use in her fiesta (with a heated windscreen) and it works fine but we tend to mount it right next to the A pillar where there are less wires.

 

I have tried this out in my galaxy on a couple of occassions and it seemed fine too.

I've got a Mitac Mio with Tom Tom and works fine. Never had to use the GPS extension lead supplied.

Iv got an ICN510 - works fine with the heated screen on or off.

 

i normally keep it where the A pillar is - just for better viewing - and seeming less clobber on the windscreen - works fine.

 

i do find sometimes it takes ages to get a signal - however, it can take ages when its in open air - so dunno why that is.

 

the ICN510 - does not have full postcode recognition - summat you might want to consider.

I have a 520 and yes it works ok but takes a long time to get a signal.

I invested in an external ariel from ebay and its much quicker now.

The external ariel has a magnetic base and the wire goes out of the door. so can swap it about easy from car to car.
