It would be nice to hear the pros & cons from anyone who is familiar with it.
So far I've used the icn630 V2 (Quite Good) & TTN3 BT (Not so good)
Just looking for an incremental improvement in navigation. |

Since the 4410 and iCN use similar software and the same maps, I wouldn't think there would be much difference between them from a routing point of view. _________________ Tim |

I use a Navman 4410 Bluetooth, with XDA II, I think it's excellent, battery life of 4410 exceed my expectations, I've used the system and software Smart ST maps in the UK, Belguim, France and Spain, only 2 times when I went wrong, one was the POI fault, hotel I was travelling to was incorrectly addressed in the POI and the 2nd time was when I ignored an instruction because I thought I knew best and of course I didn't. I've not used the items you mentioned so I can compare and which is best, I doubt you will find better than the NAVMAN 4410 |

I would also highly recommend the Navman 4410.
I too was amazed at the battery life (although it does not have a rechargeable battery - 3 AAA's).
I can't comment on the software as I use TomTom software with the Navman hardware (4100 is same hardware as 4410)
I've seen the Medion system that my friend bought from Aldi over a week ago, and I can see why mines far superior. _________________ Ipaq 4150, Polstar PBT-111, TomTom3, Kingston 256mb SD, Arkon Powered Amplified PDA Mount |

If you are referring to the receiver (4100) then I would give it 10/10 for performance. Even when placed out of view of the sky!
I managed around 15 hours on a new set of AAAs
As for the software then as Tim said it is probably much the same as the iCN _________________ Ian.
