"Navman GPS Makes Navigation EZY"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:12/07/2010

The Navman EZY40 is an affordable in-dash GPS that keeps navigation simple. It is aimed at someone who has never used a sat-nav before, with the device sporting large icons and a fairly simple layout.

The EZY 40 sports a 4.3-inch screen and measures 127 x 82 x 15mm. The device only has a power switch on top and a microSD slot beside the mini-USB port at the bottom.

In order to get started, all a user needs to do is to slide the power switch to ON. The device will show the Safety Agreement, Tutorial (which you can skip), and then display five icons ? Find, Map, My Places, Settings, and Near Me. Pressing the Find button allows you to look for an address, keyword, city/area, postcode, points of interest, and even browse the map for places to visit.

The unit comes with a Quick Spell Keyboard that disables irrelevant letters from the keyboard as a user types. As a user types ?Cremorne', the significant letters are removed, with the important letters showing up in grey. It also comes with a Smart Find Keyword Search function that narrows down your search. For example, typing ?Cre' automatically suggests ?Cremorne Point', ?Crem' suggests ?Cremorne Junction', and ?Cremo' brings up ?Cremorne'.
