Super Navi, has everything you need

After six months, I have the Navi now, I want to like to write a review. Also because here because of various software error (Navi turns off; shall not satellite) negative reviews came together that no longer appear currently justified. The errors have been eliminated in the latest version (6.30). I personally had the firmware 4:40 on the Navi and had this not been updated at delivery, to the (again faultless) Version 6.30 was available.

What I like:

- The navigation system is easy to use and also the speech recognition serves its purpose quite well, so you can navigate to a destination while driving, without touching the Navi.

- The free map updates which are valid indefinitely. That is, you can upgrade without having to pay again for the map material as long as one has the Navi.

- The navigation system is very quickly the satellite and also works in the tunnel by using the recommended speed is in force and continues to run as well as outdoors.

- The traffic jams with TMC Pro (Navtec Traffic). The Navi announces reliably congestion and offers alternative routes. Here also the expected time saving is displayed. So we had so far hardly stuck in traffic. In full closures and similar strong traffic delays the Navi calculated even automatically and without user intervention an alternative route (The Navis Timme then says: "Heavy traffic obstruction ahead alternative route is calculated to xx minutes to save time..") In addition, the Navi shows dangers on the road and in how far away they are. So far appeared: "Fire" (a burned car was actually at the specified location next to the highway). In addition, the Navi known jams and delays credited to him in the time information for the routes already a.

- The "Traffic trends" function in the Navi traffic data of other users evaluate in order to take into account can, on what days at what time which have distances less or more traffic. For example, if the normally short route on Fridays 15 to 18 clock has a great deal of traffic, selects the Navi according to another route.

- The voice announcement of street names and other clues.

- The ability to own POIs (Points of Interest, so lists of gas stations or hotels, etc.) to play the Navi. We have a natural gas car and rely on unknown routes that the Navi can show us the gas stations at 900 filling stations in Germany. If you have played such a list (for example) natural gas filling stations in the Navi, you can display these in the following ways: 1) The stations in local area with distance information and direction; 2) The gas stations at a place you can enter; 3) Most importantly, the gas stations along the route, which has calculated the Navi. So we could have always easily the required gas stations start without having to take detours or having to search for it consuming.

- The ability to display after entering the destination in an overview map different routes with distance and time information for the routes, so you can easily choose which route you want to take.

What I do not like:

- Custom POIs must be selected somewhat awkward and can not be activated by voice (just like the pre-installed)

- The images that are shown in the track selection (eg exits), take up only half the screen so that the inscription can be read on the traffic signs barely.

- The speed warning is not adjustable and therefore beeps already at 1km / h faster than allowed -> useless.

All in all, the Navi all the features I need and has to be part of the inestimable advantage, always supplied with current map, without having to purchase it after two years (as with all other Navis) new maps for sale.
