Navman F20

review DATE:12.21.06

Navman F20
Front With Adapter Right Side

review

By Craig Ellison

With a list price of $349.95 and available on the Web for under $300, the Navman F20 is a truly affordable entry-level GPS system. Navman also designed the F20 to be simple and easy to use, and it certainly delivered on that promise. If you don't need multimedia features, the Navman F20 is a good GPS at a great price.
