Navman ICN510
2 of 2 found this helpful This was a very expensive item when it was launched in the early to mid 2000s (£299). I know because I bought one new in 2005. I still use it and bought another via eBay for a second car.
The original Navman map software was really very bad with totally illogical map routing. For example, it always tried to make me enter a certain motorway via a private, emergency services only access road, and routed me through quiet little villages when there were by-passes that could have been used instead. It also had a tendency to send me via the narrowest, longest country lane route possible, even when settings were set to "motorway" and to tell me to turn into roads that did not exist, farm tracks, private roads and "no entry" and one way streets! It once sent me onto a private, single track, gated road that served a fishing lake as a legitimate route between two main roads! Not very good!
Sadly(?), Navman then decided not to release any further upgrades to their own software for this model, so you were stuck with its shortcomings, although a set of maps for Europe was made available!
The plus points are that it is a reliable, robust unit, with a clear, fair sized screen, which picks up fairly quickly, although an external aerial (sold on eBay) makes it work much better. It can take a lot of wear and tear and will still work well, provided the screen is not damaged.
Some units were upgraded by the owners with new software, such as Miomap, which was sold on eBay. The new software really makes all the difference and means the unit can still be used today. If you use the original installed map software, it will be next to useless, except in areas that have not had any change for ten years as it was inaccurate, flawed and outdated even when it was released!
Some units may need a new battery as the original rechargeable may have "died" by now, and these are quite expensive (see eBay), but the car charger will make the unit usable if present.
All in all a good buy if you can pick an updated one up for under £30 or spend the extra to upgrade the software. Check that you can still get the Miomap etc. software to upgrade it on the net first, though.

Good lap steel!
For the price this is an excellent lap steel. It comes packaged in a box, inside a much larger box. Both the guitar and the strong steel legs have fabric gig bags. Included is a lead, Allen key and guitar picks (not finger picks) and a heavy tubular steel.
The finish is very good and unlike some cheap lap steels it has metal frets, not just lines.
I tuned it to C6 G D and E with no problems.
Only minor complaint is free play in one of the machine heads, but it does stay in tune.
The tone control makes a difference but needs to be turned all the way to be noticeable.
All in all, a good guitar at a very good price.

Excellent
1 of 1 found this helpful These are aptx Low Latency phones which give the best and fastest bluetooth connection. These are excellent value and perform very well giving quality sound. They come boxed with a USB lead and a standard headphone lead for direct connection.
I bought them to use with an aptx bluetooth metal detector as they are 20% of the price of the manufacturer's equivalent. They work perfectly with no delay when a detector finds signal is given. A case and an aptx transmitter can be bought very cheaply on Ebay. The transmitter can be plugged into any audio source to pair by bluetooth with the phones.
