NAVITEL E505 Magnetic

Advantages: It catches satellites well and keeps in touch, convenient mount, quickly builds a route, worthy of maps.

Disadvantages: no strong deficiencies identified

Comment: Nice portable navigator. Reliable, performs its functions without errors. He knows a lot of cards.

Advantages: A large number of maps, frequent updates from the site. Excellent and convenient magnetic mount, straight Beast, the navigator pulls out of the hands during installation)))))). Linux works well, the suction cup holds it dead, the swivel joint is reliable. It catches satellites quickly enough, the location is accurate. The controls and settings are simple and straightforward. The power cable is long enough.

Disadvantages: The screen is weak, visibility, especially in sunny weather, is not very good. Developers should add a voice warning to the firmware about the upcoming maneuver 50 and 100 meters away, I could not find this in the settings and almost drove the right turn in the city once. It's not a sin to add gas stations along the route with voice notification.

Comment: Recently I updated the maps from the site, but the navigator did not show some new streets. I'll try to update again.

Advantages: Software, Linux OS, number of cards

Disadvantages: the screen resolution is not very high, but I focus more on voice prompts

Comment: The navigation of this company is always at the top. When the question arose about buying a navigator, then it turned out that Navitel had not only the program, but also the navigators themselves. I have been using the device for several months - very satisfied, as expected. Thanks to the developers1

Advantages: Easy to use, intuitive navigation. Fastening. Nice cards and a lot of them.

Disadvantages: You can't leave the car in the cold and hot

Comment: Simple and reliable. I chose from the Navitel line, I took this one because of the large set of maps, since at least 2 times a year I travel by car to Europe. I have been using it for half a year and went on a long trip so far only 1 time, and he did not disappoint, although of course I was a little worried. Warns of speed limits. Convenient, I recommend.

Advantages: Optimal size. magnetic mount. Large selection of maps with free updates.

Disadvantages: Small screen resolution.

Comment: I love the magnetic mount. It is convenient to remove and install, while the magnet is so powerful that nothing falls off while driving. Nothing special about the navigation part. Whatever you say, in the city it is more convenient to use a navigator in a smartphone, if you need one at all. I turn on Navitel when I need to go to another area, because For some reason, my smartphone very often loses satellites. When you go on an unfamiliar route, it is unpleasant.

Advantages: inexpensive, large 5 "screen, magnetic mount.

Disadvantages: not found.

Comment: I like this navigator, we bought it back in the summer, while we use it without any complaints. It has a large 5 "touchscreen display, a convenient magnetic mount, which makes it very easy to install the navigator in the car. The coordinates are determined with an accuracy of 10 m. A good model at an affordable price.

Advantages: Long battery life. The navigation program and the device are designed in a minimalistic format, nothing more. (both plus and minus). There is a display of speed limits (not always correct), signs, cameras, shows the desired lane (not at all intersections). Warns about overspeeding. SpeedCam is a great part of the navigator. The magnetic mount is amazingly comfortable. In fact, it works out of the box. There is an FM transmitter. Huge database of maps included. Lifetime free update. Convenient program for updating. Optimal size. Automatic day / night / tunnel transition. Automatic time setting. Stylus, charger, mount, power cable included. The body is made of high quality plastic. In addition to the car / motorcycle mode, there is a pedestrian mode (it is not clear why, with such a display, receiving a signal from satellites and searching for objects only by an address or POI), cycling (there are no bike mounts in nature) and for trucks. The display is matte, the image is easy to read even in bright light.

Disadvantages: Very low screen resolution, nowhere lower. The screen as a whole is a big drawback of the navigator. The sensor begins to work more or less adequately only after calibration, but in general, get ready that by touching it with a finger or a stylus for scrolling, you will select all the menu items in a row. Last century, comrades ... Poor satellite reception. As it did not change the location all over the glass, it looks for satellites very badly. After passing through the tunnel, it can restore the connection for 1-2 minutes. May indicate that you are driving on a nearby road or racing across a field near a road. In the program for smartphones, this jamb has long been fixed, on navigators, alas ... The number of satellites is not displayed on the map screen, you need to look through the menu, and I would like not to climb there ... There is no search for objects by the name of organizations. Taking into account the work of the sensor, it would be extremely convenient. To install all cards, you need to purchase an SD card. To record tracks, for some reason, too ...The city is CATASTROPHICALLY lacking in displaying traffic jams (yes, in older models they are implemented, but among competitors, displaying traffic jams has long become the norm on conventional navigators (Garmin, Sturmann, Lexand). HandsFree is already in many navigators as a standard option, Navitel, think about it. battery is displayed as an icon, although the display as a percentage would be much more informative.One can only dream of an auto-regulator of the screen brightness level due to the light sensor ... Also on the road, although the day / night transition is implemented well, you can change the brightness level only through the menu It is inconvenient behind the wheel, there is no video playback from the SD card, it could brighten up the moments of waiting and idleness in traffic jams.

Comment: In general, if you get used to it, the navigator is not bad. But it cannot be called exemplary either. The accuracy of geolocation, the screen, the stripped-down interface leave an unpleasant sensation from using it as from a device that should not be fully relied on as an assistant behind the wheel. If this is your first time driving on the road and do not know the route, a sudden loss of communication with satellites can create problems. Above all, you expect reliability and accuracy from a navigator. Alas, it seems like a good device, but failures and errors are too frequent its companions.

Advantages: enough battery, good memory

Disadvantages: did not find

Comment: I liked the navigator, the excellent view of the picture, the color sensor, I am very satisfied with the quality.

Advantages: Large selection of cards. Magnetic mount.

Disadvantages: Updating maps only when connected to a PC.

Comment: A good navigator. Maps of all Europe included, with free updates on the official website. True, to update you need to carry the navigator home and connect it to your computer with a wire. You can also note a very convenient magnet mount.
