BUY LCD TV, GPS, BLU-RAY, NETBOOK AND MORE - Kogan Technologies

Hi, just to add my experience with the new Kogan GPS unit. Never used a gps before, did some research on units, saw Kogan because was thinking about getting a tv. Anyway, just moved from WA so wife and I thought a gps in car might help. First use was fine, the battery drains quickly if not using AC or plugged in to car lighter. Easy to use gps using screen touch menu. HOWEVER, go to Kogan website and download the full user manual. Once I set the unit up properly it worked fantastic, easy to get an address and route, very precise, clear screen, talk instructions clear, re-calculate route etc, etc. Very happy with the gps, it would be good value even without all the extra features. Haven't tried out all the other features, music, blue tooth etc but I'm sure they would work fine. PS. I did get a TV, the little 16" LCD with DVD, it is brilliant. Great picture using a portable aerial, dvd works fine. No worries, as they say, !!

Pro: Great features for the price. Intuitive address search.
Con: Only 50mins battery life. Disappointing that it was not anywhere near 3hrs as stated in the manual.

I bought additional card for Europe - tested the unit in Germany i Poland and had no problems at all. Maps were very good though too expensive for my liking but I was happy to pay for the convenience. In Australia - no problems at all - good price and all the necessary features.

I have the Kogan GPS and am very happy with it. Initially it took me a little while to get used to it.
Last winter, 2009, I travelled more than 9000 kms in and around Central Australia and often on extremely remote roads. I used it after I had installed all the HEMA map set, by using Oziexplorer CE, onto an 8gb sd card. This has enabled me to not only have the supplied maps but also be able to navigate anywhere in Australia.
It is quite easy to switch between the supplied maps and the HEMA maps. By activating the track record function, one can either revisit the areas or view the tracks on the HEMA maps.
My recommendation is get it!!

hi i got this gps off you last week and it proved so good my son swapped it with me for his old one i am happy with the deal but the maps in the new kogan gps are not up to date could i have it updated if so how
with thanks richard

Just purchased the Ezinav G3: Have owned 2 of the Navman Brand: This one is far superior to either (F10 or S45)
The Bluetooth is fantastic - touchscreen phone answering:
The maps are clear to see & read, for a set of older eyes.
The instructions are precise and maps around Echuca are all on the map.
More features than I currently need but they're all there in a very inexpensive device:
Love it and highly recommend it:

I have never used a GPS before, i spent a few hours charging it up after having mine delivered today. Tried sorting it out via the online instruction book etc. and it looks great. I took it for a try out this evening with a friend and it worked real nice.
My biggest problem until i get some experience is trying to find and even add some points of interest etc. Not sure how to add them and store them as there nothing in the book to help. Other than that happy with the unit, but would have liked some extra length cable for the car charger as well as i am struggling to make the cable stretch to the dash or window from my centre console which seems to be the way a lot of car manufacturers are going these days by removing cigarette lighters etc from cars and putting phone chargers in the centre console instead like my Mitsubishi Magna. Other than that the display is excellent and i am sure i am going to enjoy this GPS from Kogan once the car charger cable is hopefully sorted out.

All sorted with my previous Suction cup problem thanks Kogan once again, you have helped me out greatly. Your products are great and at wonderful prices. I am loving this EziNav GPS and am going to get many hours of safe navigating done with it on board my car.

I bought a Kogan GPS several months ago and I cannot get voice or any other sound, maybe I am pressing the wrong buttons, appart from that it is miles ahead of my previous GPS.

I have had my Ezi-Nav now for a month and although it is a great unit I am having difficulty in working it out as it did NOT come with any instruction book at all so i have looked online.They are a good nav unit it certinally is taking me time to sort it out.
I did a 400km round trip last week and it only warned me of Two Fixed Speed Cameras out of seven so not too happy there but still sorting it out.
Overall my rating would be 4 out of 5.- 1/2 point for no Manual and 1/2 for the cameras.
