Da me but a few points are noticed in dealing with the Navi, I would like to enumerate here:
Positives:
+ 3D representation of the landscape
+ Menu is Becker-like, one knows one, you can operate all
+ The display and announcement concerning maneuvering comes now in advance of the crossing, the 215'er I was usually already in the middle of the intersection and then heard (!): "Turn now"
Negatives:
- Update is only possible if an additional memory card (Micro SD) is plugged. Although the data will fit even without a memory card to internal memory, but for the map update will need to be buffered and have no place for it on the Navi to allow the free update can not be performed.
- NO switch (!!!), only a software function that calls itself "off". Completely useless in (not) daily use, my 215'er I could off with real switch off and after a few weeks with almost full battery.
The active.6 always depends on the battery (!) After about a week "off" the battery is completely empty!
- Whether the long-term problem for the battery is that it constantly "deeply discharged" is I can not say, but it's a problem if you hang the empty Navi to the bracket and powered, it is indeed turned on immediately and loaded, but no satellite found! Navigate with empty battery (but mains operation) is not possible.
- Only after about 1/2 - 1 hour of battery is recharged extent that the first satellite will be found and the position and therefore only navigation is possible. Perhaps not a problem if I want to go on vacation and already know the first few hundred kilometers of track.
But if I want fast times take a new route and the Navi extra hole from the "hibernation" I can save the navigation, because I go easy 45 min without satellite link and the Navi do not know where I am, even though I should be my goal in 20 min reach can ... if the Navi know where I am ...
This is the biggest weakness of the active.6 there is no off switch for me. If I know that in advance, I can Navi yesterday nor overnight charge (extra charger, Micro USB necessarily order !!!)
eg: EasyAcc® Micro USB 5V 2A AC charger; psc = 1
Another tip, memory card Micro SDHC and order now with.
eg: Samsung Memory 16GB MicroSDHC PRO PSC = 1
Addendum dated 14. 10. 2014:
No more bets, the Navi has yesterday during charging (!) Turned off by itself and remains dark. I can not turn it on, it makes no response any longer. Have there all night on the charger can be, but it remains of ...
Must I probably contact support and hope for the Becker a good service offers. Until then, my review is on a star.
