It also comes with an MCX connector allowing you to plug in an external active antenna if you feel you require it. The only issue you may have is if you have an Athermic coated windscreen UV Coated , in which case purchasing a Navman external patch antenna and plugging it into the socket supplied on the side of the flip-up antenna should allow you to get a better signal.
You can place the external cabled patch antenna onto the roof of the car or near to the "blind spot" where there is no coating. One thing I have always liked about the iCN range is that the integrated speaker is loud, crisp and clear and won't be drowned out by engine noise or road noise. Some concern for some people maybe that the speaker is positioned on the back of the iCN so it is sending the sound outward towards the windscreen and not towards you, however the speaker is extremely loud, and you will not experience any problem here.
At any time you can adjust the volume of the iCN by using the keypad. The keypad itself is fairly responsive, although it does feel a little spongy sometimes when operating the center cursor pad, however when you press a button it responds which is what it is meant to do. One thing that has differed is that to the right of the central cursor pad is the infrared eye. You may recall if you are already familiar with the iCN range, or have read the previous reviews of the Navman iCN and iCN V2 that the infrared port was there but was not operational.
I can now confirm that there is no physical infrared technology behind the window to interface with the processor to enable an infrared remote control on the earlier iCN and iCN V2 models.
One of the good selling points on the iCN is the bright vibrant screen. The only other company to have one like this is Garmin.
Garmin have introduced a touch screen into their Street Pilot range. Navman felt that this would degrade the screen quality in contrast and brightness and decided against this. The screen quality on the iCN is outstanding just like it's predecessors. The colours are rich and the contrast strong. The screen sports a 3. The screen dimensions are x pixels with more than , colours. Remote Control. This is an InfraRed remote control and works quite nicely with all the key buttons in easy to reach areas on the remote which make it ideal for when you are driving although you shouldn't operate this whilst driving.
The suction cup strength is very strong, you can even hang onto the iCN whilst it's suctioned to the windscreen and pull it in all directions and adjust the direction it's facing. I noticed depending on where the suction cup is placed on the curvature of the windscreen that sometimes it won't receive full suction and will drop off, but this is downside with all suction mounts not just the Navman one, and does require you find a very flat area of the windscreen with no curvature.
This usually works well putting the iCN higher up on the windscreen rather than lower down as this is where the curvature tends to occur more. Sometimes you may experience faster or slower fixes depending on your surroundings, depending on when the iCN was used with satellite coverage last, or depending on whether you have an Athermic coated windscreen. When Navman say they have Topographical maps, it's not true topographical like you would see with elevation data where the maps are in true 3D with hills looking like hills.
You will also notice a much better horizon line with sky compared to the older version. You will see the Next Turn screens much better now which are accessible from pressing the page button. This not only gives you the correct turn from the roundabout or junction to take whereas before it was a generic icon , but it also shows you the turn on the map and will show your pointer when you approach it.
This makes navigating some junctions a lot easier. If in doubt, hit the page button! True, it has a bright color display, and you get nice extras, such as a remote control and a sturdy windshield mount. Housed in a rugged gray-metallic, magnesium-alloy casing, the Navman iCN is built for travel.
The ounce unit measures 6. There's also a channel parallel GPS receiver and a folding ceramic patch antenna with a jack for an external antenna. However, the Navman iCN 's lack of touch-screen control, such as the ones found on Garmin's StreetPilot and Magellan's RoadMate , is a glaring omission when you consider the system's lofty price tag. As a result, entering addresses and other info via the onscreen keyboard can be tedious.
The Navman iCN 's performance was a mixed bag. We tested the device in the New York region, and the first time we fired it up, the iCN needed just 40 seconds to obtain a 3D fix four satellites , but subsequent starts were erratic.
For example, it took more than 8 minutes to lock in the following day and 3. Once initialized, though, the iCN did an admirable job of maintaining a strong signal. We lost our 3D fix only once, down by Wall Street in lower Manhattan, which is notorious for its lack of wide-open sky. The system also missed the mark when nailing down our precise position.
