For added convenience, the SmartST V3 navigation software provides navigation and voice guidance in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish.

Worst Technical Support Ever
I bought my Navman ICN 510 in 2005. 3 months ago I decided to upgrade the maps, because even for 2005 the maps were old.
I bought the software from Navman Australia, because I couldn't find it here in the US.
After 3 months of constant calls and e-mails to Navman I still cannot update my new software!!! Unbeliavable!
In the mean time I bought a Garmin 250. I didn't buy it in 2005 because I didn't know that Garmin was the best brand. I can tell you, my Garmin GPS is easier to use, comes with all maps from US and Canada and has a better interface. You just plug it and use it!
If you are wondering if you should buy a GPS, don't buy Navman, buy a Garmin GPS. http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-n%C3%BCvi-3-5-Inch-Portable-Navigator/dp/B000NW0Y9W/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1204621036&sr=8-1
Avoid this thing
I've had one of these for a little over 2 years. Slow start up, crash prone, outdated maps even when new. Frequently locks up and requires reset and re-entry of route coordinates. Buttons difficult to use-multi-function button extremely sensitive and tough to control. Many better choices on the market.
bad bad bad
I've had this for about a year, and I'm fed up enough that I plan to purchase a new device. Some of the problems I've experienced:
-Completely useless for any kind of road trip, greater than maybe 100 miles. It sends you one way, recalculates, changes its mind and then tells you to go back the way you came, recalculates again and tells you to go the first way again.
-Absolutely refuses all toll roads, even if you don't have "avoid toll roads" selected.
-Plans U turns (not for corrective action, but actually desired) in inconvenient places, such as major freeways. Even if they're undivided, it ain't gonna happen.
-Every once in a while, you'll be on the route that it tells you to take, and it'll pop up a message saying "cannot get to destination". It refuses to recalculate, until you pull over and reset it manually, at which point it's fine.
-Completely useless in downtown Boston. Understandable, but highly annoying.
-Sometimes refuses to navigate to an address. It has a destination point marked on the map, there's a clear way to access it, but it decides to navigate somewhere else instead, usually a couple of blocks away.
-Requires zip codes. The interface is terrible, you can enter a neighborhood, and it'll pop up a list with 5 choices, all with the same name. If you choose the wrong one, it won't recognize your address. If you enter the zip code, usually works.
