Navman MY55T

By Derek Fung on 29 June 2009

Just like the 4.7-inch MY50T, but with added goodness in the form of Bluetooth hands-free, more memory, an FM transmitter, 3D landmarks and a higher capacity battery.

User rating:9

  no map support listed on the navteq site for this unit.......I hope it's not going to be another LG fiasco when one comes to upgrade maps.........?

  Ghost and Basil,
  
  I just bought a my55t and returned it within 24hrs because it didnt have the ability to play music. I was told that it could and a few websites say it can but I can assure you that it doesn't. The MY500XT does and it works fine. I upgraded for this feature alone.

  • Good: Attractive Unit
  • Bad: Maps

  This unit is really let down by the poor quality NAVTEQ map. Noticed several street name errors and roundabouts that have existed for years not even shown on the maps. Navman should has stuck with the Sensis maps, at least they were more accurate to a degree. For the amount of money I had to fork out for this unit only to get substandard mapping is unaccepatble. As for ease of use, nothing beats a Tom Tom.

  • Good: Great value, best list of features in this price bracket, speed limit/safety camera info is surprisingly comprehensive and up to date in metro areas, intuitive address/POI search. Traffic info works well in metro Melbourne.
  • Bad: Touchscreen could be slightly more responsive. No auto on/off when car is started/stopped.

  After testing a few in rental cars and in the shops, this is my first GPS unit and I'm impressed so far. Some slight issues with touchscreen responsiveness which I'm hoping can be addressed in a future firmware update. Very happy with the purchase.

  • Good: Screen, Sensititivity, Bluetooth,
  • Bad: Suna hasn't worked yet? Innaccurate speed warnings

  FANTASTIC little unit. Absolutely brilliant. Love it. I was warned off navman but when I won this one the excitement has been building for weeks. So glad I upgraded from the MY50T, too! FANTASTIC! stoked :)

  • Good: Everything that isn't carried over from the Platinum range. Oh, and SUNA (sometimes)...
  • Bad: Navman customer service- ugh

  So I've had it now for 3 weeks and overall I'm surely impressed. I was a bit hesitant at first, being the former owner of a S300T. I've owned all the brands or at least used them at some time or another and to date, this one takes the cake.
  
  The value for money is probably the best in the market. Especially if you want SUNA traffic updates and compare it to tomtom ($600 for an xlt!). The UI works well, although still not perfect, it is a big step up from last time.
  
  4.7" screen is pretty cool. You don't really notice it until it is next to something smaller, and probably if I ever have to use something smaller in the future.
  
  Google and Truelocal searches work well.
  
  Good stuff Navman

  • Good: Good wide screen, fast to load, Traffic Alerts, Bluetooth function works well with my Nokia phone, 2 year warranty
  • Bad: Already found incorrect maps wrong speed advisory for some roads that I travelling on for one instance told me that i was in a 40 km school zone when i was travelling on a freeway ...so i've turned this function off

  Overall good unit, user friendly, great wide screen can see clearly on a bright sunny day.8/10

  Can the MY55t play mp3 files? The brochure and the manual say it can but some sites say it can't.
