Very disappointed.
This is my third Navman, the first one I purchased was made in New Zealand, absolutely loved it. It’s nearly 12 years old and still working. 2 Garmin gps in between. Both still working. All old maps.
I bought the MY570lt because of the life time maps, the first one constantly lost gps signal, then started freezing up. Took it back.
The replacement still looses signal but then finds it again. Must have a poor antenna because both Garmin gps work fine in the same car in the same locations. Yes I did all the updates as suggested by the tech. They ...Read more
tell me some types of windscreens are a problem, it’s just an old Prado nothing fancy. When this one dies I am going back to. Garmin, they are dearer, but for me they have been streets ahead, pardon the pun.
Purchased in July 2021 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores.

Ok but often inaccurate.
Its Ok but its distance measurements are often well out. It tells you an intersection / crossroad / rail crossing / red light camera etc, is coming up and they have already been passed. Occasionally it will say keep to the right (or left) lane and the screen shows the opposite. I have ended up in the wrong lane and taken the wrong turn before because of this "glitch". Since I updated the maps recently, the screen now locks up every other day and I have to wait for it to fire up again. Planned obsolescence I think. Same as Apple screwing around...Read more
with their updates to make their old phones go slower. Free lifetime updates? When I enquired about this, I was told its only for 4 years. It would appear that is its life. Had a Tom Tom before, with paid map updates, it lasted 5 years and then failed spectacularly. Strange thing was that it failed 2 days after an update. Maybe next time, I will go Garmin. The Navman is about 2 years old now.2 comments
Ok, No problem. Not sure how you PM though?

Hi Steve,
Im sorry to hear about your experience. a White screen is generally an inidcation of very low power, so there may have been an issue with the in-car adapter.... Read more
For your M105, is the device switching over to night mode? you can also try different themes in your settings to see if there is a night mode that is better suited to you. Thanks, Senior Navman SupportSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Navman disaster
I bought a NavmanMY570LMT to replace my previous Navman which expired (the screen showed catastrophic failure???).
The new Navman has also expired today. Obviously doesn’t like the Darwin heat! I have opened the new one for 1 month.
The unit turns on but only shows lines after the original Navman photo.
Will never touch Navman again.

Hi Vince,

Navman Driveduo SUV with Truck Maps
Maps going from Sydney to Nambucca or west to Dubbo from Sydney are absolutely useless. Keeps trying to send you on an alternative route that doesn't exist. Driving around Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane - "USELESS" keeps popping messages and changing routes due to apparent delays that either don't exist or the alternate route will be longer anyway. Can't turn this feature off. Truck maps option - waste of time. Constantly takes me down roads with low bridges (less than 4.3mtrs) or that are 3 ton limited.
Complained to support. Got an email recommending an update. Navdesk won't work on Mac OS 10.13 or above so can't do an update.

Junk
Was given new 570LMT. it had so many faults, screen kept going off, reset that many times lost stored points, won't maintain charge in car. Turns off and wont turn on. Went from Victoria to NT it turned off half way never to turn on again. Damn thing going into junk shop. Waste of money. .Bought a Garmin in Alice Springs. GREAT.

The road less travelled ....
Purchased this unit at the last minute without doing any research. My fault.
I use a Mac with OSX. The desktop software is scandalously useless. 90% of the time it cannot recognise the GPS unit when it is connected and the drive showing on the desktop. Then when if/it does and you try to update the maps... Well lets just say that despite working with computers in the IT industry since the early 1980's - this task is just ridiculously impossible.
Used it on a recent trip through Victoria. The volume is not speed sensitive so does no...Read more
t increase in line with the concurrent car noise. In the town of my destination it sent me on a wild goose chase through the industrial zone, which I later discovered was bypassed about 8 years ago. Coming home well - lets just say I saw parts of Victoria that I had only ever read about. Speed zones and school zones are "interesting". Still cannot get the little devil to download any new map updates - so looks like I'm stuck with the factory installed rubbish. Did get a firmware update installed - no change AFAIK. In summary - do NOT buy this troublesome and OSX incompatible GPS unit.1 comment

Questions & Answers
Gwm1956asked
How do you update the MY50? Should be lifetime, but need to know how on my Windows 10. Thanks.
2 answers
You need to download "NAVDESK 7.5" from the website and instal it into your computer. Once its installed, connect the Navman to the PC using the cable supplied, and follow the prompts. It should then automatically download the maps you require. (Australia or New Zealand) I enquired about the "lifetime" maps and was told that there are 4 new maps provided each year.
Thank you, very helpful.

I have a newnavman 570 lmt. I’ve charged it and added a couple of “favourites* and cannot turn it off or put in sleep mode. Tried resetting but the same issue. Any ideas?

Hi Oldchook,
To turn the Navman off, please try pressing and holding down the power button unit the device shuts down. If it still doesn't work, please try performing smart recovery via NavDesk to isolate the problem. For instructions, please refer to the link below:

Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hi ShortandHairy,
That sounds a bit odd, that the device seems to not be able to tell its right from left, and we are curious to look in to this a bit more. ... Read more
Regarding the 4 year limit, i can tell you that whoever advised you of this was categorically wrong. in the past decade, we are yet to discontinue map support for devices that come with lifetime map updates, and we have no plan to change this. However, is it possible they may have told you 4 updates in a year? our lifetime map products have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 updates every year. If possible, i would like to private message you to collect some details on the measurements being out, incorrect navigation, and the information you were provided with. Thanks, Senior Navman Support
