Navman S30 Sat-Nav
The Navman S30 is entry-level, but does that mean it's not up to the job?

Navman S30 3D Sat-Nav
It's one of the cheapest sat-navs around, and it now comes with 3D landmarks.
The S30 3D’s headline 3D model system may be a disappointment, but at least you don’t pay a premium for it. In fact, this is one of the cheapest standalone sat-navs currently on the market. Yet it's still a very capable device, and easy to use. For...

Navman S30 3D review
Entry-level but usable sat-nav device
Strong signal ; Clear directions ; Includes in-car charger and dock ; 3D maps
No expansion installed ; Plastic looks a little cheap
A fairly good entry level sat-nav device that has the added bonus of 3D maps

Navman S30 3D GPS receiver
The number of options for in-car satnav is constantly expanding. Navman have long been associated with satellite navigation equipment, but can they compete with the likes of TomTom for easy to use, consumer-friendly devices? We look at the S30 3D, the...
Fast location fix, easy to use, customisable display info, easy to set-up routes, price
Exterior design a little cheap looking, on-screen display can let you down at complicated junctions
The accompanying NavDesk software suite enables some additional features, such as management of NavPix (geotagged images) including access to a Library of locations to download, although this is simply a link to launch the website and you can’t help...

Navman S30 3D review
The Navman S30 3D is the entry-level model in Navman's new range of personal navigation devices. It has a 3.5in display which, after having used the larger 4.3in widescreen models, we found a little cramped. This is particularly so as the default...
The Navman S30 3D makes a valiant attempt to distinguish itself as a local travel guide rather than a point-to-point navigation tool with the addition of 3D landmarks and its strong directory listings. Its compact dimensions lend it to being carried in...

Navman S30 review
The smallest of Navman's new S-series has a big job to do if it is to compete against the market leaders

Navman S30 satellite navigation device
For the S-Series of portable satellite navigation devices, Navman has made a number of design changes. These, we're told, are the result of focus group input from consumers, so ought to be useful refinements, rather than outré extras just for the sake...
Navman has built on its already solid satnav foundations with this completely new range of widescreen models. The Navman S30 is an intelligent and unobtrusive device, which will get you where you need to be without making a song and dance about it, and...

Navman S30 3D Sat Nav
After winning several awards for the original S30, Navman has produced a slightly upgraded version which, as its name suggests, has a couple of graphical tweaks up its sleeve.

Navman S30
It'll get you from A-to-B, but raise your budget just a smidgeon and you'll find alternatives with bigger screens and Bluetooth.
Most of the big players have similarly priced entry-level satnavs - the £99 TomTom One and £85 Garmin’s Nüvi 310 being two examples – but, more importantly, dig just a little deeper into your pocket and you can sidestep the entry-level market...

Navman - S30 3D
Since Navman joined forces with Mio earlier this year we've been waiting to see what interesting developments it'd come up with on new devices. The S30 3D is part of a new range of updates to ...
Navman has produced a nice, navigation-only solution in the S30 3D. It's not worth upgrading for the 3D buildings and it would have been good to see a more compact design and a couple of extras, but you're unlikely to find a better pure-navigation...
