Better than Factory installed unit.......2005-01-05

I have used a factory installed navigation system in my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a year; and have found the Navman icn 630 I purchased for my other vehicles to be less confusing and faster to re-route; I surmise it is because the Navman does not have a hard drive as in the Jeep. Also, the Navman map is less confusing to follow because of the 3D feature that automatically displays when approaching a turn. Another great feature is the ability to update your maps at no charge by downloading from the Navman site. Most factory systems require the purchase of a new DVD or set of CD's to replace obsolete or incomplete map data.
The Navman unit is ruggedly built, the display is very clear and bright. A great value at approximatey 1/3 the price of a factory unit.

Awesome display-Portable-Easy to use-Accurate.......2004-12-16

This is the first in car navigation I have purchased. I used handheld units (back in the "old" days) that required putting in waypoints. These were great for fishing and other outdoors things, but not so hot for riding around in your car. We have been really pleased with this product. Since we have relatively new cars but with no navigation, these are great for us. (We purchased 2 as my spouse and I both travel for work). We have both had great experiences with it and no major snafus. Getting everything installed and up and running was a little difficult, but getting anything new that requires a set up process is never very much fun! However, we did not get a great deal of help from the tech support. By the time we purchased the second one, it went smoothly as it was "old hat". We highly recommend the product and will be buying one for my in-laws for Christmas!

Better than the more expensive Magellan RoadMate 700.......2004-09-05

I like to start reviews with some background on myself, because I think it helps readers better evaluate my ratings. With that said... I am no pilot, sailor or mountaineer, but I have been using GPS gear since about 1999, when I got a Garmin GPS III simply because I was a gadget lover. At that time, the GPS III was about $400, which was as much as I was willing to spend on what was admittedly a toy. Since then, I have owned a Garmin eMap (with MapSource data for streets), a Magellan RoadMate 700, and now the NavMan iCN 630. I'll be discussing the NavMan iCN 630 mostly in relation to the other products, especially the Magellan RoadMate 700. The short version is the NavMan i630 is a great product that I would choose over the RoadMate 700. Read on for the long version.

I was generally happy with the user interface and overall quality of my older Garmin units. I even used my eMap as an in-car system quite a bit, though it did not have street-level routing: at least it showed me where I was, and which direction I needed to go. The RoadMate 700 was my first purpose-made automotive GPS, and while it "got the job done" I considered it to be overall a slight disappointment. True, it had a nice touch screen, and the voice directions were good, but it seemed a bit sluggish and unpolished.

So what about the NavMan iCN 630? On paper, it seems to lose out to the RoadMate 700. It has no touch screen. It has no hard drive, so you must load in the maps for your area into its system memory, or onto a memory card, which is not included. And it is a lot less expensive, so it must be worse... right? Wrong.

For one, it is just plain easier to use. Not having a touch screen means it is slower to input an address, true, but other than that every aspect of its user interface is more polished and easier to understand. I often snarled at my RoadMate 700 until I learned its quirks, but my NavMan 630 didn't provoke me that way. Truthfully, the RoadMate gets it done, but it just isn't pleasant to use in the same way.

Second, the screen on the NavMan 630 is better-clearer, brighter. The color schemes are more pleasant. Roads are labeled more legibly. The screen is a little smaller, but the resolution is no worse, so it is just a little more compressed. It also has a very nice "perspective" view of the map, which lets you see more of what lies ahead. (Amazon says it has a 2 inch screen, but that's wrong. It's definitely bigger than that!)

Third, it comes with some useful accessories. You get a nice suction cup window or dash mount, not the wobbly "stick-it-in-the-vent" mount that Magellan gives you. NavMan even gives you a carrying case and cloth for cleaning the screen. You even get an AC power adapter so you can turn it on inside. Those aren't deal breakers, but I was really disappointed that Magellan didn't provide the same things when you bought the expensive RoadMate 700.

Fourth, the NavMan is quick. If you want to scroll the map around, you can do so easily. Zoom out, pan over to another city, zoom in, look around, no problem. The RoadMate would always choke badly when I tried this.

Fifth, the lack of a hard drive makes it rugged. It has no moving parts. The RoadMate 700 may have maps for the whole country on board, but someday that hard drive will die, and then you are in for an expensive repair. Personally, I will trade off the ability to have all the maps on board at once for reliability. (If I planned to upgrade again in a couple of years, I wouldn't worry so much, but I am looking for an in-car system to keep for the long haul.)

No car GPS review would be complete without addressing the quality of the built-in maps and routing. I have to rate NavMan just slightly ahead of the RoadMate on map quality, and on par with the RoadMate in routing. In my area, Seattle, the NavMan 630 seems to have slightly newer map data than the Magellan, but within the limitations of the map data, they route (and re-route for missed turns) just fine. In your area the map quality may differ.

Speaking of maps, I should address the map storage. The NavMan has a Secure Digital slot for memory cards, and 64MB of internal memory, of which something like 50MB is free for map data. The whole state of Washington takes up about 25MB, but just Southern California was about 45MB. Clearly, depending on where you live, you may need to buy an SD card to store more maps. Fortunately, they are getting very cheap. You can get a 256MB card for about $20, and that's enough map data for a heck of a road trip.

Other areas where the NavMan and Magellan units are roughly tied are lock-on time, quality of voice directions, route exclusions and satellite reception. The NavMan 630 not without fault, though. These are the things that I do not like about it.

It should display the next cross-street that you are approaching. It doesn't.

It only shows you one piece of "extra" info when you are on a route: speed, distance to go, distance to turn, etc. There is enough room on the screen to get a few bits of data showing at once. This should be customizable.

Entering in addresses is a bit of a drag, largely due to the lack of the touchscreen.

The buttons feel a little mushy.

It is hard to flip up the antenna if you have already put the unit into the mount. You really need to remember to do it beforehand.

Nonetheless, overall I am very pleased with the NavMan iCN 630, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an in-car GPS system, especially over the Magellan series.

As a final note, I should mention something which applies to both the NavMan and Magellan units. If you are used to "general use" handheld GPS products, these car units require an attitude adjustment. They don't have all the little features you have come to expect, like entering in a waypoint directly as latitude/longitude, or displaying a trip computer with your maximum and average speeds, total time, and rolling time. They can't tell you VMG (Velocity Made Good). They are pretty useless once you get off the roads. That was disappointing to me, but as soon as I stopped trying to use my 630 like my old eMap, and started using it like an automotive system-which it is!-I got along with it a lot better.

Gets you where your going without the worry.......2004-07-13

I got the Navman iCN 630 after trying the Delphi Mobile Navigation system, as these units are based on the same hardware and similar (but not identical) software. The screen is sharp and easy to read, while the voice instructions are loud enough to be heard in a car traveling at highway speeds with the radio on.

I considered the Garmin 2610 and the Magellan Roadamte 500, but I went with the Navman because the Garmin doesn't have 3D views (which I find very useful for a quick visual of where you're heading) and the Magellan seems to have a host of quality control problems (see the forums at www.gpspassion.com).

Benefits of the Navman vs. the Delphi include:
(1) Navman bundles USA and Canada maps with the unit, while Delphi only provides the USA maps.
(2) Navman has released a couple of service packs to improve the display and the routing algorithms, and these service packs are NOT compatible with the Delphi GPS.

Be aware that the Amazon information is pretty outdated. The new Navman units ship with 4 CD-ROMs containing the software and Tele-Atlas maps, not Navteq maps. I've found the Tele-Atlas data to be pretty good in my area, but you'll have to make that determination for yourself.

Also, Navman just announced that it will be coming out with the iCN 635 in a few months, and that unit will include a remote control and more base memory (128 mb vs. 64 mb). If those features are important to you, then you may want to wait.

I love the Navman.......2004-05-17

This is my first GPS and I love it. It does exactly what I wanted and even if I miss the turning it very quickly corrects the route. The voice is very clear and if you happen to be talking it reminds you when you reach the turning. The screen is very easy to read. The information I received from my initial enquiries to Navman were answered immediately. I had one query after purchase and that again was answered straight away. It is my best mate now - I will never get lost again!!!!

disaster.......2004-04-17

We use linksys as standard in my company for wireless activities, we found normal to stack a print server from linksys on top of wireless AP.

Out of the fact the techs took one hour to find out how to configure it through fixed IP an installing bi admin a described in other critics, which does not make it user friendly but we can cope with that as IT professional.

However, bi directional is a joke. No printer is recognized and we lost all fax and scanner functions on a Brother MFC, this IS a problem (guess why we bought a Multi Function Center?)

We had to return this material to linksys...

Works with XP but takes some tinkering.......2004-01-08

I read all the reviews so I was expecting some extra work to get this print server working with XP. The trick is using a static IP address, not DHCP. Go ahead and install the "BI Admin" utility because it allows you to configure the print server via a browser page, but use a static IP address. And just enter that same static IP when you configure your printer port (printer properties, add TCP/IP port). Linksys tech support can help - although this is yet another company that has outsourced tech support to the Phillipines and India. That's a big check mark against them in my book.

HP Laserjet1200 and Linksys printserver.......2003-10-14

Despite spending hours (days) attempting to configure the printserver, I was unsuccesful. The printserver does not appear to be compatible with the HP laserjet 1200. I wish I had read the reviews prior to purchase. Problem is incompatability with HP drivers. Tried all drivers, tried all settings. Would be interested to hear from the people who apparently got this to work.

Allen.......2003-08-03

I've had this print server for almost 2 years. I have a reasonably-sized home network with other Linksys products that have worked flawlessly. I guess the bottom line comment I would make about this product is that, when it works it is fantastic, but when it doesn't it drives me crazy!

In my case it will work fine for a while, and then require either soft or hard resets (with the button on the back). The DHCP never worked consistently for me. I was advised by Linksys not to use it at all. I have already had to replace my original unit because it failed, and my second unit just went on the fritz as well. I was on the line with Linksys support for an hour and we couldn't get it to work, so they're sending me yet another one. I just replaced my old HP 4ML that was on the server, and decided NOT to rely on the print server anymore - I paid extra for a built-in 10/100 card. However, I still have a Canon inkjet on the print server. I still don't understand in this day why built-in ethernet is so expensive to add to a printer - it should now be standard on all but the lowest price printers IMHO.

I gave this 3 stars, but it's really probably more like 2.5 (only redeemed by the built-in 4 port switch). I agree with another poster who said Linksys needs to update the firmware for this product - it is not up their usual standards.

Worked for me.......2003-07-18

I purchased this so we could print without having to keep the computer next to the printer on all the time. Am using two Epson printers: Epson 1270 and 2200.

Print server installed OK. I was confused by the docs because they seemed to be saying I needed to do something to make it work via DHCP, turns out this is the default behavior. Otherwise I got through the install with only one short call to LinkSys tech support. I got through immediately. Being a software support engineer myself, I would give the engineer a 4 out of ten for customer service skills.

My Epson printers use a 'bidirectional' process to show the levels of ink in the printers. This no longer works, so I guess I'll just need to have some ink replacements ready for when the red light goes on in the printer itself, or ocassionally hook it up to a computer to check the levels. I also had to mess around with the Epson printer driver to turn off it's communication error checking and advanced features. Otherwise it would give me an error message that there was a communication problem.

These were not enough to make me want to send it back as the product makes it very convenient for our network and is relatively easy to deal with as far as networking products go.
I also notice a considerable improvement in the network file transfers using the included 10/100 switch.

As many of the reviewers have said, there are some problems with install etc., but if you can get past this, having a print server can be a great addition to your network. I would also say that at some point users will have to gain some understanding of TCP/IP to get very far with any network project...

Very durable and dependable with lots of features.......2007-07-11

I have had these for several years and they have been totally dependable. True the back cover is not the best, but the range and clarity is just fine. Actually, I am looking for a few more of them. They only go for two miles, but given the size, weight, and features you cannot beat them. Mine are evergreen in color. I had some other Talkabouts and have given more current models away as gifts, but I really like these. I never have a problem being heard and for short distances they are really nice. I've left them in the trunk of my car in all kinds of very hot and cold weather and they hold AA battery life just fine. They fit just right in my hand. I really like them a lot. Plus you can use a lanyard when the clip breaks which they do in time. Very highly recommended--and do so realizing their faults and their limitations when stacked up against more current models.

poorly designed.......2003-05-01

Problems:
Battery door didn't fit tight. Pushed hard and it still stuck out as if poorly manufactured. The first day I used the radio, the battery cover fell off somewhere and now the radio is useless unless I wrap rubber bands around the body to keep the batteries from also falling out. Motorola's excellent battery cover on its first Talkabouts misled me when buying the T6250 into thinking this too was well designed. I wouldn't buy another one.

It also didn't receive transmissions from other peopled' FSRs. I've had the older Talkabout 250 and the newer T6250 both turned on but only the 250 would receive those transmissions.

Don't buy this radio; Motorola discontinued it for some reason and I suspect we've identified two of the reasons.

Sure, some of the features are nice. But the flaws make those benefits hard to enjoy.

Motorola reliability.......2003-01-30

These radios really lived up to my expectations. For starters, the transmition clarity is quite good. It can get scratchy when you are really far appart or when you are in the mountains with alot of clouds. Fairs, expos, museums, wherever these radios keep us in touch.

I've been using these when I go up snowboarding, and my family is always able to keep in touch regardless where we are on the mountain. In fact I've often picked up conversations from the next resort over! The radios are also slightly water resistant.

These radios also have Motorola durability, I've dropped them many a times, and no problems. The weather radio (NOAA) is useful for picking up very accurate and regularly updated weather reports from the National Weather Service. The battery door does feel like it's not seated correctly and seems like it will pop off. I've only had a door pop off once or twice and we never lost the door. The Eavesdrop eliminator, (which is an aditional 3 encryption codes) really helps to prevent crosstalk when using them in crowded enviroments when other people might also be using FRS radios. These models also have a VibraCall (vibrating alert) which when used along with the QT200, the radio will silence itself, and when someone calls, it will vibrate. Only until you respond will the radio speaker become active.

A great investment for a low price. I'd highly reccomend buying a set. Also, if you have other FRS (Family Radio Service) radios that aren't Motorola, don't worry, they are all cross-compatable.

T6220 Surprise!.......2002-11-23

I purchased a pair of T6220's this past year and they have proven to be a better performer than I had anticipated. In fact I purchased an additional pair for my hunting friends. The ability to turn off certain features you didn't want or like such as the 'Roger Beep'is a plus! These units worked extremely well in all of my treks through the woods, canyon and draws. I was able to keep in touch with others with little problem.

I do recommend making or puchasing a case for their protection. The face plate seems to scratch easily.

The only drawback I discovered was the small buttons are difficult to activate with gloves. Other than that I would highly recommend the T6220's to those roaming the great outdoors.

The Microsoft IntelliMouse is the newest member of the mouse product family. The new wheel positioned in the center between the two buttons provides new functionality in Windows. All Office applications will be compatible with the new mouse allowing the user to transfer zooming, scrolling and data zooming to the mouse. Scrolling in Windows Explorer can be done with the mouse - no more scroll bars! Quickly drill down into hot links on the Web (data zooming) and return to the home page by using the mouse. Navigation in web pages is now as easy as using Word and IntelliMouse by scrolling with the wheel.
