The device Garmin 3598:
The Navi is comfortable to hold, even slightly heavier than expected.
It works by turning right off the bat, there was even some juice to the battery.
You can make all settings and charge the Navi without much study of sub-Agen.
The Software:
He was not recognized by the Win7 PC with me. After installing the Garmin-Express and reboot the computer he was yet found. The updates for the device did not work properly, the update for the card but.
While it was recognized that I have a 16GB card in the device and told me that this is not working when I remove them ... but no more. Was on the external card folder "Garmin" is created and there is a File
"Gmappupdate.gsd" with size 0. A Remove and reformat the card did not solve the problem. Also another 8GB card has been found but the update did not work out. Following consultation with the Support then everything worked (for map updates it requires tracking was off my antivirus program).
The accessories:
The Navi itself looks very slim. The bracket for the car with the strong magnetic clip is super solved, but the charging cable to the DAB + module is anything but delicate. A bag for the device I've additionally taken.
Navigation:
Meanwhile I drove a few hundred kilometers and therefore very pleased with this unit. Traffic reports I had not, the streets were always free. The satellite will be found in approximately 10-15 seconds. The navigation is displayed very well and also the announcements came down to one or two situations, always on time.
The device is highly reflective with its surface, which interferes with but not by the high luminosity of the device. Even with high brightness konnt verifiable recognize everything well.
The Voice Control:
The unit responds very closely to language, but I can not use while driving. I have the device in the car is not in the center but left the front of the disc. Obviously, that's too far away and the voice control will not be recognized there.
The POI:
The control and management of POI is the only flaw in my eyes. Who has previously been spoiled with the Navigon software, has to nibble here arg. Man kan POIs either turn on or off. During the trip, you get (Stadardmäßig) gas stations, restaurants and ATMs angzeigt. (I have found no way to change that). A selection for POI groups that you want to have displayed, you have not. However, one can search specifically within the POI groups and quickly navigate.
From me that device gets a strong buy recommendation.
