Customer Review

As declared Medion fan I was initially excited about the new device, which was to replace my old Navi. It had many improvements over the old device. Unfortunately, I was bitterly disappointed when using the device by mistake:

- Several times the GPS signal was found only after a restart (even though I had turned on the machine in a flat landscape with no tall buildings in the car)
- Twice dropped the tone of (the navigation messages appeared only graphically), the volume was in each case well regulated, that is it was definitely connected to anything dumb
- Once a goal was indeed found, but instead of a navigation appeared only an empty window and the Navi has no longer navigate.

If you completely off the Navi when such a fault occurs, and again turns on, then it works again. However: If you want to process just because the Navi in ​​between losing his voice? Who wants to wander, just because the Navi is no GPS signal ...?

The announcement voice the way I feel to be quite "annoying". It is difficult to describe, but the voice sounds slightly through the nose, and can radiate far too little rest from me. She speaks rather quickly, and acts frantically at me. This is of course a matter of taste and therefore has not led to the devaluation, the devaluation on 1 star receives the product because it crashes too often and leave me standing in the middle of the track "in the rain".

When the Navi just not on strike, it's a great navigation aid! However, leaves a lot to improve the voice input. To say, for example, "traffic", so a list of traffic incidents will be displayed, and the navigation system asks: "The number of the entry". Now one should call a number, then reads the Navi before the disturbance. But how do I know what number I should say - for instance by I look at the screen while driving, and to scroll and click still down ...? When Bluetooth I have found no way to select by voice input. That's a shame, because the technology to be in the unit so there!

I complained, but in the meantime the model was no longer available, and so I will now switch to another Navi.
