   Looks like great value
   First impressions were encouraging. The manual is excellently illustrated and written in perfect English. The SatNav is much more feature rich than the Garmins we have been using but we may never use all of them. Setting up indoors was straightforward for an experienced SatNav user and the video link was redundant for me. In order to qualify for map updates you must register exactly as advised.The SatNav is for a 20 year-old Picasso we keep at a second-home in France so written instructions in English with French audio no problem, as is changing to kph from mph. First outing in UK in bright sunshine showed a lot of glare on the screen so may need adjusting. But the mount in the kit is solid once attached.First time out it picked up the satellite in darkest Surrey immediately. Some learning curves re speed warnings, audio warnings etc still to be allocated but I trust they are there.I opted for the 7” as the Picasso windscreen is at some distance from the driver and the existing Garmin has to be closer to eye view, obscuring part of the instrument panel. This should fix this but if the glare is still a problem I may need to invest in a hood. I can see this would be extremely useful for anyone with a caravan, van, lorry or trailer.I tried going off a selected route and the Ohrex recalculated without hesitation. This could be useful in France where diversion signs are sparse, taking you off a designated route and then, without further signs, abandon you to road maps. Our old Garmins always want to take you back to the route you can’t use. This can be a problem in new territory where you don’t know the alternative routes. No problems yet but will advise if necessary.

   Good product for the money
   This product arrived promptly after purchase, it was well protected in the packaging and came just as it was described in the advert. The reason I purchased this SatNav was to take it on a fly-drive vacation to the USA to avoid significant costs in renting one from the car rental company. The device cost about a third of what the rental car company was going to charge so for me a good investment. In addition, this SatNav provides ‘world maps for life’ which is a great additional bonus. With my previous satnav I had to continually pay for updating maps so this for me was a no-brainer. As I bought it from Amazon UK it came with UK/Europe maps installed so if you need different maps you need to request these either via Ohrex Facebook page or the support email, I requested the maps for the USA and with the guidance provided by the support team was able to reasonably easily delete the existing maps and add in the USA maps. The device’s memory won’t hold both the existing maps and the USA maps, but it was easy enough to save down the UK / Europe maps onto a microSD disc before deleting them from the satnav. I have since removed the USA maps and re-loaded the UK/Europe maps. The support team was quick to respond to the request for the USA maps and provided all the support I required. The large screen is useful, but you do need to be careful where you place it on your windscreen, so you don’t have any ‘blind spots’ when driving. I found low in the centre of the windscreen the best spot for me. If you use a computer to charge the device, make sure you disconnect before trying to use the navigational tool. I have found the after-care service to be excellent. Every question I have asked has been responded to very quickly. In addition, you can update maps 4 times a year as they are made available on a quarterly basis. When using the device, I found it very straightforward to enter the destination details and to save them into the Favourites where required. I also like the “Alternative Route” option especially when you are not familiar with the area you are travelling to. In summary, this is a good product for the money, clear screen/colour. Easy to use, plenty of options on the settings menu to adjust to your liking. Big screen and finds location fairly easily. Pre-population of supermarkets was very helpful as was the signs for petrol stations. Oh and don’t throw away the box as it holds the number needed to register the device.

   VERY COMPRHENSIVE.
   I bought this SatNav to replace an old Garmin one and I didn’t really want to pay the prices that these are being sold for now. As I put in the headline this is amazingly comprehensive, way more than any other that I have used. Apart from the obvious fact that it navigates by satellite very precisely by address, post code etc, there are loads of other features:- you can set the size and weight of you vehicle or combination, change countries and settings associated, you can play the announcements through your car radio, you can add an SD card with music or photos to play or display. there is a calculator, a unit converter, a clothing size chart for different countries, fuel consumption, sunrise and sunset, trip monitor and country information. Additionally, should you be interested, it will show you how may satellites there are and how may of which you are accessing. Initial setting up did take a little longer, but I guess that applies to any new piece of technology! Overall absolutely brilliant value, it is said that you get what you pay for but in this instance you get way more. No hesitation, what so ever, in recommending the OHREX N76
