According to its website, this "Kiwi" company has been doing a brisk business since its beginnings in the 1980s. Navman was started in Auckland, New Zealand, and has grown to become a global provider of GPS products. As new GPS technology helps more and more of us get around, the business is only going to grow. Navman offers a range of products specifically related to GPS navigation.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Go to the Navman company website at navman.com.
Step2
From the Global Navman page, select the country that you are in. You can also select specific in-country links like "Products" directly from the home page, but bringing up the country-specific home page is a better way to know where you are on the site.
Step3
Use links like "press releases" at the top, or "About Navman" on the right to learn more about the company, or click on "Products" to view what GPS receivers Navman has available.
Step4
Browse the Navman products by type. There are many products available engineered for use on boats. Click on the small arrow to the bottom right of the short product description to read more, or click on the model number.
Step5
When you know what you want, you'll need to find out where to buy Navman products. The site does not offer a direct retail system, so click on the "where to buy" link from the general country-specific page to see where you can buy Navman products online or at a store near you.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you find a Navman device you want, it helps to write down the entire model number for easy reference later.
  • Navman tends to bundle its GPS receiver with other features for a range of combo products involving items like sonar or wind gauges. These GPS products are a little more complex than some users would need, so evaluate whether you want a Navman device, or a simpler, basic GPS unit.
  • For U.S. consumers, a Navman purchase might be a little more difficult. Although Navman has sales contacts in dozens of countries, the site lists no contact information for anywhere within the United States. It would be best to contact the company directly from the contacts listed on the site to find out how to get Navman products to the U.S. Alternately, there are online distributors of Navman, including Amazon.com.
