Customer Review

Caveat: I am not a computer expert, but been able to solve any problem encountered with patience and by experiments.
First, something enjoyable. Got my order Thursday night abandoned, Saturday morning I received the goods neatly packed. AMAZON! Hope the rescission (return) runs as quickly. Would it then with another "Navi" manufacturers try.
Now for Becker Professional. 6
Unpacked and considered a truly respectable device. Even the necessary accessories makes a good, solid feel.
The holder will not budge, the device is easy to install and off. During driving, no wobbling.
Initial attempts: Enter address; use the Mobile Phon; Define routes etc, no problem. The voice input is not yet the right. But I could do without it. So far so good. -

In addition, I had to find the battery you are using is a real weak point. Fully charged to the unit
75 min. to use. If you then consider the battery life is excluded from the "normal" warranty and is only half a year and: In the manual (manual) for the Professional 6 is noted each charging process degrades the performance of the battery. If you want to prepare the customer to a "premature death" of the navigation device? No, certainly, keep to the order back free. A battery change can only be made in a workshop, which can be expensive.
Despite the risk of battery I would have kept the unit, if not:

During tests it became clear that existing software can not be the last one standing. That is certainly normal.
An update has to be made, new cards are needed. Now, the trouble started.
First you need the Becker Content Manager. "Invite" this on my PC to Windows XP made no problems. That went relatively quickly even for me as a non-computer specialist. To use the "lifelong" free map updates, I first kept strictly to the specifications of Becker manual. These specifications were wrong
with those specified in the Content Manager match possibilities. For example,
Manual: Press -XY-
Content Manager: No -XY- available.
Manual displays an image to explain, which should also be in the Content Manager, but was not.
It shone a flashing in the red dot without any evidence, without end.
A note for a validation, there was now and then.
The navigation device itself showed no change. It remained during all tests at -verbunden-.
After many attempts came a Note found error, please try again later.
This error also appeared in tests found the next day. A Note: Your device is not updated to hit, but has unsettled me.
For this reason, I have tried the current card status in the "Navi" Professional to learn 6. In my Navigon model I had no problems since. When Becker Model me this is not done. Was not even sure if this option exists at all. Have to learn that the Becker hotline used.
And now something really positive: After brief twenty minutes I had a very friendly gentleman on the phone who told me step by step how to get to the appropriate information. There was displayed in 2014 Q1. According to the helpful Mr Q1 2014, the most recent.
This paved the way for not easy to find and display of mine will not forget I noted the steps.
In order to verify the accuracy of my notes I have performed the steps again. Worked out fine, but it did not appear in 2014 Q1, but in 2013 Q4 !!! So I had probably not the latest maps on the Profesional. 6
As these data could be changed without my help within minutes will probably forever remain a mystery to me.

Before I had decided on the Becker Professional 6 I have diligently read customer reviews. Many buyers
had trouble signing in, and update. I knew it will not be any easy. That I would not work under circumstances not intended.
Know now happy where the problem lies.
Is it because of my PC, at the Becker Operating Instructions, at the Professional 6 or I'm just as then, a large part
other customers incapable?
Would this "Navi" like to buy again, if I could use it. Forgot my problem Becker informed'm curious
whether there is a reaction.
H. Wolf.
Addendum:
The return to Amazon went smoothly. Have had 6000 send me the Tom Tom Go. Log in and update the device was "in no time". May be something astonishing how easy.
Also, the TomTom has a lot what I would wish to improvements, hope as to appropriate updates. Overall, TomTom is the best solution for me.
