Buying a navman was a Serious Error
So both me and thd inlaws bought the ezy260lmt navman. The old man kept his updated while i never bothered. Roughly 2 years later, within 2 weeks of one another they both stopped working. The same symptoms and occasional message "application smartST_CE.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down" then freezes. I have tried everything i could found on google but no good. Navman must set these up to fail. Not happy, dont waist your money.

never again navman
I agree with joubear & will also never look at buying Navman either. To set up is a nightmare and to get Map Updates ..... well i'm still trying as i do this review out of frustration. The navigation can be haphazard, it thinks i'm on roads that are 50m to the left then suddenly, it realises i'm on the actual road i'm traveling on, next thing you know i'm on the road to the right. The only (almost) good part is the events / roadwork notifications, although you have to take your eyes off the road too long to read what & where the notificatio...Read more
n is. Audio instructions are poor meaning i have to watch the screen too much for a safe drive . There is about 5 - 10 minutes of battery life in it from new . It wont let you set a destination until it gets its location which can mean 1. jump in car & drive in general direction of destination . 2 pullover over once signal is sorted out . 3 input destination . 4 think yourself lucky your not in a hurry !!! . There are more issues like instructing me to turn after i pass the road, that equate to a poor quality product all round . I had a TomTom 720 ( technology about 10 years old ) which never had these problems.

reliable but average
I am onto my 3rd navman currently using a my escape 111 . I have had 2 previous models not as good as this one they were both replaced under warranty virtually no problems at all sent a unit back it came back fixed it was not so I rang them up and got stuck into them and the replaced the unit with a new unit this has happened 2 times this unit is ok but nothing to rave about but it never goes blank only problem I find is red lights not recorded. bloody saying train line 30 mtrs ahead when its in front of you if you can put up with that its fine. I are currently looking to upgrade to a unit with a front and rear camera cheers james Ballarat.

To improve the device's accuracy when it comes to safety alerts, please make sure to keep your maps and software updated via NavDesk (Instructions: https://www.navman.com.au/upload/map-installation/auto/main.html). Check if there's enough GPS signal and always set a destination. Without a destination set, the unit will only guess where you're going to, so it will give you random/all alerts within the area. If you're looking for a GPS unit with front and rear camera, please do check our Drive DUO series under Trade-in. They are a combination of front camera and GPS unit. The rear camera is an additional accessory that needs to be purchased separately. For more info, please see the links below: Trade-in: https://www.navman.com.au/products/trade-in A20 Rear Camera: https://www.navman.com.au/navman-a20-rear-camera For more info about our products, please visit service.navman.com and/or navman.com.au/navman.co.nz Regards, Navman Support TeamOn my naveman my escape 111 i are in need of a new windscreen mounting bracket .

Non reliable
I first started out with an EZY200 Navman GPS which waited till out of warranty before trouble began, but not the new replacement EZY260LMT, it gave out five month's in, with help from Navman on line help we managed to get running again then three month's later the very scary happened in the middle of peak hour traffic 4000k from home plain white screen, got back to hotel and tried all the fixit's no results Naveman asked me to send back for repairs under warranty it came back with the words NO FAULT FOUND worked fine for about a month then whi...Read more
te screen so enough is enough bit the bullet and purchased a Garmin GPS dealer asked if was areplacement told him yes and a few details, his technician checked it out said faulty from manufactory he fixed it $15.00 now have two GPS, . I will never look at buying Navman again, way too hard to set up and to get Map Updates almost impossible, seems all Naveman want is to sell a unit regardless how long it will work, if a fault occurs answer no fault found until out of warranty then they can repair it at almost the cost of a new one. Take my advise go for a better quality but NOT A NAVEMANSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Cheap and nasty,
Warns me of safety cams when i have already passed them and sometimes they are not even on my route,
Navman wanted me to send it back to them so they could repair it which just isnt convenient so i returned it to Target and got my money back no questions asked
Got a garmin unit now and its faultless

First Navman. Possibly last.
Was very disappointed by the Navman. The unit is extremely light and plasticy. Battery life is poor (1 hour tops). The screen even on maximum brightness has poor contrast ratio and luminance.
Screen resolution appears to be the same across the board for the major manufacturers of 5" GPS being 480 x 272. It's amazing to think smartphones now are pushing close to 4K resolution, but the GPS guys are still pushing outdated technology crap to the market at the same price point you can buy a multipurpose smartphone (with GPS) with better hardware...Read more
overall. I found the map quite good overall visually, however could not get the device to maintain a low zoom point. It continually would auto-zoom out shortly after I had manually zoomed in to a zoom level I preferred. Would not recommend the EZY260. Maybe try a Garmin? At 5" you'll still get the same screen resolution (sadly) but maybe a brighter and higher contrast screen? Worth investigating.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

NO SOUND FROM MY NAVMAN ezy260lmt
1 answer
NavSupport A.Navman
Hi tedf,
Sorry to know that your device has no sound. Not to worry, I am here to help.
The first thing I would suggest is to check if your device’s speaker is working. Please go to Main menu > Settings > Audio. Select the desired volume level. You should hear a “test” sound. If the device is not producing any sound, please perform a hard reset by poking the reset hole at the back of it.
Hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to contact our support team on [email protected]

My ezy260lmt has trouble finding a satellite signal, then goes back to the licence agreement page?

NavSupport A.Navman
Hi Rex,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your device.
The first thing I would suggest is to charge the device via in-car power/AC adapter for 30 mins or 1 hr via USB cable to your computer. Then, perform a hard reset to the device by poking the reset hole at the back.
If the device is still having a problem acquiring GPS signal, reset the GPS by going to Settings > Device > Reset GPS > tap Yes to confirm. Once reset, take the Navman outside with a clear view of the sky and leave it for 5-10 minutes to get a GPS signal.
Hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to contact our support team on [email protected]

I cannot do anything with my EZY260LMT as it has frozen, it says " has to shut down due to an error " and I can't do anything, it will switch on for about 10 seconds then the error comes up on the screen with a bong sort of a noise .

Hi Allan R.
Sorry that this is happening.
To assist you further, may I know if you already tried to perform the Smart Recovery via NavDesk2? If yes, and the error message persists, please try to reset the device by poking the reset hole at the back.
If the problem persists, we may need to update its software. To do that, kindly follow the steps from the link below:
