What is it: Satellite-navigation device with built-in digital camera
What we think: A high-quality navigation device, with excellent usability and on-screen information display, but NavPix may let it down somewhat

We like:
Widescreen display shows plenty of map data; built-in digital camera and innovative NavPix system; spoken instructions are loud and clear; easy-to-enter destinations; supports full postcode navigation
We don't like:
Live Traffic information is an optional add-on; device is large and heavy; NavPix needs some refinement and may not be universally useful
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The iCN 720 is a high-quality navigation device, with excellent usability and on-screen information display. Although it's intriguing, we're not convinced that NavPix, the image-management system, will have the revolutionary effect that Navman is hoping for
