The Motonav TN20 is my first GPS, purchased for a recently completed NYC to Seattle & back, cross-country vacation. The "Motonav Car Charger Power cord" supplied, was "Absolute Garbage!!!", the dried out cord breaking every time that it was touched during the very first hours of use... Luckily I had a Motorola Phone car charger w/me that worked, but comes up with a message, when used, about extended battery charging time, but worked fine, to power and charge the TN20. The unit,several times saved me from getting off track, on my main routes, but equally tried to kill me several times, by directing me down "dirt paths and private roads" that the TN20 thought were actual roads, but weren't, all in all, providing for some very entertaining & potentially dangerous segues, on the trip. All in all,a great trip, assisted by the sometimes very psychotic Motonav TN20.Read full review
I was actually looking for an inexpensive Tom Tom (or Garmin) for myself after getting a great deal on one here on EBay for my wife. It was only by happenstance I noticed that my local Radio Shack was selling out the TN20's at a clearence price (somehow they just ran out of them, hmmm). I had not realized that Motorola even made a stand-alone GPS unit. The TN20 is considered a starter model but I have to say it has plenty of enough features to suit my needs. It's compact size makes it easy to pocket and take with you. The TN20's non-glare screen makes it easy to view at nearly any angle. The mounting bracket is easy to use and compact enough to mininalize any obstruction of your forward view. The touch screen is easy to use but sometimes you need to press carefully to get the right input onto the screen. The graphics are clear and easy to read and can be set your liking (like 2D/3D views). It has an external speaker with voice output that is clear to understand. The USB port can connect to your computer for software updates. The TN20 also has an SD card slot for added features and storeage. I find this Motorola device to be an excellent choice and alternative to the more expensive Garmin and Tom Tom units on the market.Read full review
This is a great device for its price point. But in the end you get what you pay for. I may be saying this because I was spoiled by my old TomTom but this device is good and has its own features that make it a good experience to use. Pros: Small Light weight Comes with car mount Touch Screen seems very responsive Sound is great in terms of turn by turn Fast route recalculation Cons: It dose not show all street names as you are passing them Graphics are just pain ugly The turn by turn voice is horrible Needs to give the driver more warning before a turn is coming up Shouldn't have to hold down the power button so long just to turn it on and off. Missing a lot of features that you get with other GPS devices (Again you get what you pay for.) Overall it is a great GPS for the price if you want a simple design and ease of use.Read full review
I bought this as a simple GPS for my mother and its very easy to use for her. The screen is visable, it doesnt have too many problems with finding our locations and every feature works. For the price it was great. Narrator's accent is a little heavy (She mispronounces streets, but it gives for a good giggle). Rain throws it off sometimes but its quick to recalculate.
The feature I wondered why my Magellon did not have is, the current "Speed Limit" a great feature for little speed trap towns. It will also notify you if you are driving over the speed limit if you want to use that setting. Another cool feature is after you put in an address you can take a tour of the route before you ever leave your home. I bought a couple of these and am very satisfied. I recommend it.
