    Worse product for more money?


    Is it just me or is it a bit of false advertising to be selling an X430 for whatever money, only to open up the box and find it's the inferior B430?

    Surely that can't be legal?



    Edit: Actually, the A430 and the B430 seem nearly identical bar the physical dimensions (and Maplin's A430 isn't a refurb)

    My second order is the same.

    I'm thinking of returning both of mine (if the second ever arrives). IMHO the B430 is inferior to the X430. Unfortunately I'm finding Sendit impossible to contact.

    My order is showing as a B430 and dispatched on 9th. No sign of it yet. By the way I ordered in Euros and gave my postcode as IRE123 . May be of help to someone.

    Out of curiosity why are you returning it/them?
    Any major issues?

    The main reason is I find it very slow to get a satellite lock.

    I am also really pi$$ed at Sendit. I sent them a message about the incorrect model number and got a reply 4 days ago saying they were "looking in to it". No further reply since and no response to further queries.

    Cheers for the reply, how long are you talking sat lock delay, and is it decent once it actually has a lock?

    Not sure if this is a problem with my one in particular but...
    Can't get windows to recognise it. Win7 64 flat out doesn't recognise it and

    I've an XP Pro 32 that just gives the 'ding dong' usb connected/disconnected noise over and over.

    Is there any windows drivers people are using in order to change maps and FW?


    Edit: Ok, there's some updates on their website which supplies an updater that you install (uses ActiveSync). However, it didn't work on Win7 64 (even in compatibility mode + admin), only WinXP 32 in case anyone is trying this.

    Edit: Works with Windows Mobile Device Center for Win7 32/64 without any issues!

    Got mine today, thanks OP.

    Havent had a chance to charge it up to test it out yet though.

    I saw people mentioning 'TomTom' and 'Amigo', I'm not really familiar with SatNav but would someone be able to explain exactly what these are?
    I thought there were models of satnav but looks like it's software.

    If it's software, can anyone recommend the best to put on this Satnav?

    Sendit are a right shower of c*nts :mad:

    They eventually responded after 10 days to my email about sending out the wrong item. The chap who replied said:

    In reference to order number 11xxxxxxx, I have checked our system and can see that an order was placed for the B430 version and not the X430

    I have emailed him back saying that the confirmation emails & dispatch emails show it was an X430 that was ordered & dispatched. Looks lie this will be my last order with Sendit.

    The X430 has a rubberised design and external GPS/TMC antennae connections.

    Look here for an X430 manual: http://binatonegps.com/gps/download/manual/X430II%20User%20Guide%20(Turbo%20Dog)%20-%2020080910.pdf

    So it does.

    The B430 is still an inferior product IMHO. The rubberised finish would make it a little drop proof and the external antenna connection might help with slow satellite locks.

    Mine eventually arrived yesterday. Have'nt had a chance to test it out. Noticed the manual is 3rd Edition, 2009. Hopefully the maps are 2009 as well:)

    If you still have the box, you should have an A4 page with the receipt of your order which clearly says (on mine anyway);

    Binatone Carrerra X430UK Sat Nav GBP 36.89

    Cheeky bastards..



    Any chance you could post/pm me some info or a guide about TomTom etc on your satnav?

    I've managed to get TomTom onto mine but I'm having major issues getting the maps recognised, despite activating them and so on. Could be something simple like having them in the wrong folder or something.. :(

    And gpsunderground is offline at the moment which makes things a lot more difficult..
