Hi. I bought a Navman my500xt last week to be able to use the bluetooth feature for my mobile phone while driving, hands free, which it has. I paired my phone with it and my husbands phone as well. My phonebook would not download. The bluetooth worked to call my contact, which I had to do from my phone, but I cannot hear the person I called on the device. I tried many times with different people. I called the Navman Technical support who are offshore, who knows where, and got nowhere with the person. He told me to take the unit back as not working.
Also, I bought the Navman as was told it was a NZ product. To my disgust, the voice giving directions cannot pronounce the NZ names of streets and towns which is very offputting. I am taking it back for a separate hands free kit and a different GPS unit.

You could do a quick search on Google, but you could be missing valuable information if you’re not searching effectively. ,

Does Tom Tom for iphone work when out driving in the wop wops, ie I presume it relies soley on Vodafone coverage in order for it to work?

@Locoloco
No, you don’t need coverage, just a clear view of the sky so the GPS will work.
When you install the TomTom app, it installs the NZ maps on your phone, so it never needs to connect to download anything. This makes it HEAPS more useful than Google maps, and possibly cheaper in the long term?Posted 3 months ago # -
