The Navman S150 Could Be Better

Strengths: Cool design, wide screen, clear voice instructions

Weaknesses: glide interface is convenient while driving, no FM transmission

The Navman S150 GPS belongs to the family of Platinum S-Series in-car GPS units. With a brushed metal case and glossy exterior, the Navman S150 GPS is certainly looks good. The large 4.3” touch screen is easy and clear to read. The street names are very clearly announced by the text-to-speech feature. You can make hands free calls with the in-built Bluetooth. The map screen couldn’t be clearer or more concise. Junction views and lane guidance features contribute to the overall navigational experience.

This GPS device integrates a touch screen with a scrollable ‘glide’ feature. It also has two touch-sensitive buttons, but their responsiveness is questionable at times. I find the school zone warnings kind of annoying. These alerts are automatically activated even outside school hours and on weekends. This unit is not compatible with Mac.

The Navman S150 GPS unit is good enough for anyone looking for a sleek and stylish unit. As far as the features of Navman S150 is concerned, it can do with a lot more.
