Customer Review

I have this device for almost 2 weeks and would like to describe my first impressions:
After I've already met some other brands, I am now for 3 years of satisfied users of Navis Falk. Each device that I have seen so far had different advantages and disadvantages. The perfect Navi there is no doubt, but in the sum of all the properties I've done personally with the Falk Navis the best experience. Now for 640 LMU: The unit is equipped with 6 "of course quite large (for me personally, the maximum meaningful size) 5.3 inches would have been enough for me personally, but I wanted the complete European map material with lifelong updates and there is 640 currently the only of Falk. The connection has been moved compared to its predecessor from the bottom of the unit to the left side, which has the advantage that you can attach to the Amarturenbrett it closer, so that it covered not so much more space on the windshield than the old 5,3er, but you should (especially in a small car) consider whether it interferes with a. The display is very strong in presentation (similar to previous models) but it seems to be somewhat imprecise if you want to use it with your fingers (or I have thick fingers :-)), so I'm better with a stylus cope. The internal memory is 4 GB with sufficiently large (complete Europe currently requires 3.7 GB) I have, however, used an 8 GB SDHC card to in the future to have reserves, which was recognized without problems. Finding the location was the first time very quickly and even in the building. The menu is very well done and improved compared to the "old" devices in detail. One has the possibility many wishes to be considered in the route selection such as toll roads, ferries, etc. to allow or exclude. You can choose between 3 different speakers (2 women, 1 man). The Gehäse looks quite robust and is gummed all around. On the mount was unfortunately saved, where there was the very practical magnetic holder earlier is now only (like the competition) settled a simple click bracket which remains exemplary adhere firmly to the disc. The cable has been improved by the TMC antenna is now truly integrated. The announcements come a clear and timely manner in order to possibly even to be able to classify different mainly. Exemplary I find that eg the next maneuver is shown by a small arrow and you know in advance that you have to turn left, for example. Unfortunately, the volume could be a bit bigger, that was then the somewhat distorted with the predecessors at maximum volume the speakers. Super I find the Travel Guide with tons of POI`s and a small guide. Will still send an update once I have made a bigger tour with the 640, but go as an old Falk users from a very good route guidance from.

Update 12/29/13
The Falk has now passed its "baptism of fire". Today was 200 km with the new Navi way and was well geleitet.Die their destination route guidance was properly even if was from time to time wrong speed limits and even a short new stretch of road not displayed. Very positive, the solution has proved with the built in charger cable TMC antenna, I had consistently good reception and no longer the old cable clutter. The disadvantage I could not help noticing that the previously very comprehensive guide was probably thinned out a bit (at least at my destination), there was my "old" Falk longer offer Info`s. In the pedestrian navigation turned the negative side of the 6 "casing, namely the then very bulky dimensions herraus. As I said, the 6" size advantages and disadvantages.

Update 08/06/2014
Now wants to again report that I with the device after about 10 months still am very satisfied. War in the last few days in Frankfurt and Cologne and the Navi has worked perfectly and (always downtown) brought me each time safe and stress-free to your destination. A new map update I have from the Falk side problems (however duration approx. 3 hours with DSL 2000, but was once already so long) downloaded.
