Is the software the same? Doesn't look quite right?
I'll await Darrens review with baited breath :D
Thanks all. |

The Medion version uses Destinator 3, where as the Navigon version uses Navigon MN|4. |

Hi guys, I am new to this gps malarky but it all looks so amazing I am starting to overcome my technophobia!
Anyway, I was just wondering how the review of the navigon bluemedia was coming along. It's just that makro have it in their sale next week at £200 +vat for the uk map version and £249+vat for the uk and europe maps version. Seems like a bargain!??
So I have narrowed my confusion down to two questions;
1, should I buy it?
2, Is it possible to load the europe maps onto the uk version and save an extra £50, Am I tight or what! :D
Thanks very much in advance

Yes it's a good price, the hardware is identical to the Medion PNA150 but differs as it runs Navigon Mobile Navigator.
I have just completed field tests of this model and will be publishing a review soon. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Any ETA on the Navigon BlueMedia PNA Review, as Makro's offer starts on 16-03-05
is it a worth while buy? for the price. |

It'll be on-line by the end of this week, only returned from CeBIT early Saturday morning and being Welsh the rugby took precedence!
As I said previously, if you can get the Navigon BlueMedia for £199 + VAT then you won't be dissappointed. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Just bought this product from Makro. UK version was only £199 ex VAT!!!!!
So far so good. The same product as Evesham are selling for £399.99!
The guy at the Washington store said they'd almost sold out, and that was at 10:15 this morning!!!
Will come back with more info once I've played with the product a bit.

I purchased one from Makro today the UK map version, it was not a Bluemedia version, but Transonic 3002, few set-up problems, had to reset it, after that all ok.
I was travelling to Chichester gate, a cinema complex been built over a year, not on the Navigon map had to find a nearest road, got me there and back, tried to fool it by taking different routes, but it recalculated within seconds.
Still early days any problems will post. |

Like some other posters I brought this unit today at Macro. I went for the UK & Europe version (249.99+VAT) with an eye on our summer hols and touring Northern France.
So far, so good. Like Latts, it's actually a Transmedia unit in a Navigon box. I did not experience any problems with set-up.
It's in my Picasso (hence the Nickname here!), and works well near front quarterlight window. I know some Picasso owners have had problems with other models due to reflective nature of main windscreen.
I look forward to reading Darren's review. So far, I am very happy and look forward to many happy hours driving around with my new Sat Nav. Also plan to try it out on the bike! |

Hi guys nice forum, I to have just bought one of these from mackro. I am new to all this PNA stuff and was wondering can I use the PIO Warner software with this PNA and if so how do I set it up for speed cameras.
I have seen some links for other PNA's on how to set them up but confused with all the tech talk...
thanks
Flack. :D |
