Does not have all the roads on the navman
only one solution really, up date your maps. Unfortunately you cannot just update maps for the UK, only Western Europe which include latest maps for UK (November, 2008) - go to 'navman.com/' the site \is 'Navman - beyond navigation' - click on 'UK' - when page comes up click on 'visit our online store' - on the left click on '2008 software and maps' - click on the SD card for Fseries - £39.95 inclusive
Maps update
Navman is awful on support for map updates, which they claim are the latest. I've had mine less than a year and have decided to sell it and replace it with a Garmin. You can get maps that are 1-3 years old, even though Navman says 10 months old, for $149 USD. Horrible Company, it should be struck by lightning and let it burn to the ground!
Navan will not switch on
It sounds o me as though the battery is dead or flat - if you can get hold of a usb - mini usb cable and a usb mains charger from somebody (if you do have one yourself) get them plug it it to the mains and leave to charge for at least 12 (preferably 24 hours) - it should be working fine then. (if you do not have a usb mains adapter - plug it into a pc - but leave the pc on to charge it)
The battery is probably run down so much that it doesn't have enough juice to power up - this happens usually if you haven't used it for a while because the battery is being used up to remember where the last GPS position was.
If charging still fails to fx it - then the unit needs a new battery - contactnavman support in this case.
Not charging
Hello brocstar,
You could have a problem either with the power cord itself or the DC input jack on your GPS.
When you say you wiggled the "power lead" to fix the problem I believe you are referring to the actual power cord. If so, it's possible that the cord has a short that has progressively gotten worse and eventually caused the cord to fail. In that case it should be a relatively simple fix to simply replace the power cord and that's where I would start.
If replacing the power cord doesn't work then the problem likely is with the GPS itself and the unit may need factory service to repair the DC jack, battery or charge circuitry.
Hope this helps,
Ken

No volume on my F20
It sounds like you have muted your F20.
If this is the case you need to turn on the Sat Nav (outside so it picks up the Sats). Once the sats have loaded and machine is working. Press the arrow button bottom right, which takes you to map pages, press the screen on an empty area on the map page. This will bring up another on screen menu which gives you another 6 options (these include pausing routes, brightness etc..) one of the options is 'mute' (top right on screen button) press the button once and you should be un-muted.(It is one press to mute and press again to un-mute). Once un-muted, use the side + & - keys to raise and lower volume.
Hope this helps, if you are already un-muted and still have no volume, you may have a faulty unit. You could try a master reset by inserting a pin into the reset hole on the bottom of the unit.
Navman f20 need to install USA map
Unfortunately, the maps for this device are not free. If he didn't send you the USA map you will probably have to buy it on SD card from their website. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
