Customer Review

I have the "Becker Ready 50 LMU" put on me because my navigation with the Android phone was too cumbersome although free.
Decided I have read me for a long time on the advice of friends and reviews.
Since my "ready" is more than enough because I only need a navigation system and I do not want to call about I take the surcharge for prof. rather the
LMU taken. This assures me Navi lifetime o. Production end of the card support, free update warranty (max. 3 times a year).
The first update I was referring to the PC Installation of Becker Content Manager on the PC. This software updates the maps, the software content but also fuses the Navisoftware (Recommended) and charged separately updates as city maps, speed camera detector are ec. managed.
I'm actually not foreign technology but that enable the LMU which must be done within 30 days of first use of the latest Navis ("what does Becker among them? Langt it this already the Navi to turn on ??"), I found by accident when I am in the evening from long time with the Content Software sat apart again.
No wonder that one often reads on the Internet that users suddenly no free map updates to be available when one hides the activation so!
So I would advise everyone to secure immediately after purchase the software via the Content Manager, then to draw the map updates and this enable the use of the LMU, otherwise the charge was comped & Becker is often cross that later complaint goes on. (In forums to read)

What annoys me more is that the Navi not load with the USB cable to the PC can (Please read the long probably not mAh). So first, the part to the charger instead of the PC!
Generally it is true that there is not a comfortable voluminous Craddle for Becker, but I'm curious how long the Mini-USB connector endures.
What still leads the points deduction is that the pdf manual explicitly for 5 "He is not ready and it will thus inevitably misled some.
It was to be found only through time-consuming Internet search out how to delete unneeded targets!
No, not as assumed under "My Goals" but only under the menu item "Recent destinations" can be deleted, or renames be sorted.
Why just wenns can be so complicated.

To navigation to be I do not need big it a go.
The Becker used by Navteq maps are currently in big cities and in the countryside usually only on major streets. I'm not talking here of "unimportant roundabout intersection instead!" Example:
As with us a national highway was turned over about three years ago and in the course of this feeder roads were laid, I informed Navteq & TeleAtlas about their jew. Pages. No Feedback & wrong implementation until now! On The Contrary! By 2011, an access road was led to a 4000 large population and since 1992-existing residential area in the Navteq maps of an impasse and trail as the only and actual access road had an interruption in the calculation of about 200m! The city had to even put a sign because here repeatedly Auto & Truck driver in predicaments drove!
But that affected all Navteq maps, whether fixed or portable navigation systems and is at the expense of Navteq and not the Naviherstellern.

The Becker software per se is well resolved, relatively simple and apart from the annoying nonmaskable Start Screen & security warning, quick and good solution.

Parking Finder within is great, the built-in POIs more waste. Here too few are partially integrated or selectable much but banks nearly every Kreissparkasse listed individually ... (without words!)

Alternative route guidance eg jam may, disabled, done manually (for information here on) or automatically. Me it piloted previously behaviourless & reliable.

As you can see, in spite of that I have enumerated many negative things here (Positive examined the net anyway no ;-)), I am positively convinced 90% of the unit because my needs are thus largely covered what many other Navis could not. (PDA's had so far, iGo Radios & Fixed)
Conclusion: For about 170 a good 5 "great any updates" pure "Navi that can be read easily, on request almost as loud as the next sitting wife ;-), a TMC thanks to the storage and does not bring mind, is a good choice.
