I'm currently running the NAVMAN 3000 software on the IPAQ. I'm now considering the Smart St Pro version included with the NAVMAN 3400 kit - the software alone costs £139 - is it worth it? Anyone use it?

I am going to buy the navman and software next week at present have the Kane version as sold by dixons and am taking it back on sat!I have seen the navman in action not bad isnt the only change from what you have is the voice?Could you not borrow a copy of the software :-) from somone you know!

I'm not sure if its coded to the GPS receiver or not.

The software is quite a bit different, adding voice yes but also dynamically recalculating routes should you change from the original one - also only one map so no switching between city and street maps as per the original version.

Should be a big improvement but the 130 quid is putting me off a bit as well.

I have been using the software since it was released.

A great improvement over the SmartPath software supplied with the original GPS3000.

Downside: Now that they include the maps for Europe, you really do need a large memory CF Card, or better still an IBM Microdrive.

How about a group buy on one copy ;-)

Any takers, or would someone let me have a "preview" copy so I can check it out first - obviously several beers would be available for such a service!

This has gotta be worth a shot - come on guys!

I use it all the time but does have the habit of sending you down anyone B road it can find if it's a shorter route. Absolutely fantastic when driving in a town you have never been to before. Would like to able to input post codes and calculate a route without a GPS fix which are the only major downsides. Also good for showing your real speed.

As i said i will be buying it after the Kane go's back although u can get a map and put in a post code without a gps fix Mmmmm
