Navman S80 - Halfords

parsi

Halfords in Mahon Point have the Navman S80 on offer.

It has bluetooth, TMC, 4.3" screen and old(ish) european maps.

Displays as €63 but scans at €50.

Halfords give a 10% discount when I show my AXA car insurance details; probably works with other motor insurance companies, AA, etc.

...or ipods, and some other items.

Well I know I get a 10% discount when I mention the company I work for. And its not an insurance company BTW.

I thought the AXA discount was 15%? Am also sure it's not supposed on sat navs etc. but it might depend who you get on the till.

Says 15% here - http://www.axaplus.ie/halfords_index.htm (not sat nav or ipods)

But was only 10% when I bought a bike in August, sale item though and therefore wasn't meant to have any further discount.

From the AXA link..Graco Junior Maxi Hi Back Booster Seat Metropolitan 37.39 incl 15% discount
Bought this in Dunnes last week for €39 including 2 free sun visors...

A few discounts here, including 10% off Halfords (excluding ipod and satnav), saying that, I still got a satnav with the 10% off by printing it in poor quality.

Are these Satnav's any good?
Bought a cheap one before in Tescos, and brought it back.
Is it as good as a Garmin?

The navman site says these are for Australia? Are there EU/Ireland/UK maps on there?

I've 10% off voucher from work here too. Might pick it up, like the bluetooth features and navpix sounds good.

I used a Navman (ex bargain alert!) for a couple of years before some durty knacker nicked it - really liked it.

Maps probably could have used updating for Irish motorways - but I think that applies to any device.

Would have no probs owning another one.

These have UK, Ireland + Europe Maps. (Most googling throws up the Oz site first..)

Maps are TeleAtlas 2007.2 (or .02) so a bit on the old side.

However it's a windows CE device so MioPocket can be installed on it and that can be a foundation for any of the other navigation apps that you've bought.

Checked in wexford store they don't have any of these. I've a hankering for a decent sized sat nav now with voice to text and bluetooth. If anyone can get one of these i'd be interested.

I'll have a look in Mahon tomorrow.

If you don't find one I can sell you mine for the €50 +postage and I'll throw in a 2GB SD card with MioPocket on it.

I will take it off your hands if the other chap doesn't want it, some little scumbag broke the car window for mine last week, and need one for work.

No probs.

I bought an s70 a few years ago. I had not problems at all even connected two bluetooth phone at the same time. Its easy to use.
The only problem i find now is the unit is still working 100% but the maps are outdated and I cant update them. This is a huge draw back.

S80 display was gone, nobody free to ask if they had any in stock.

The S100 was also reduced, down to €65 from €145, the S80 had only a €40 reduction.

gunnerfitzy

I got the S80 that was on display :cool:

They actually told me they were out of stock when i asked at the counter. Then I spotted the one on display and asked them did that one work!

Was looking at the S100 but it doesn't have bluetooth or European maps though!
