Unreliable product.......2007-12-12
I got one of these at work about 2 months ago.
2 weeks ago it started dropping the keyboard connection randomly. Reconnecting all USB ports seemed to bring it back. This happened daily until last week, when it just died.
After a long hold time Tech support walked me through all the same steps (after protracted hold waits) I used before and it seemed to work. They insisted I would need to call back again with the same problem to get any escalation of my issue (re: replacement) even though I told them it had already happened multiple times.
The keyboard died again minutes after I hung up. I called back and waited about an hour for tech support again. This time they made me switch keyboards and reboot. Since it still didn't work they issued me an RMA.
I have no confidence in the replacement one working. The tech support told me that if I have problems with the replacement "it means that there is something wrong with your system that makes the switch not work."
A system consisting of 2 new dells and a Microsoft ERgo 4000 keyboard. Yeah right - my bad.
I have several of these working fine.......2007-11-25
This switch has been working fine for us. We do not use the audio at all though, which appears to be the biggest complaint.
I've been using the PS2 version of this for a while now. The new systems I have been buying don't have PS2 ports so I had to find some new KVM's. I currently have about six of these in production and haven't received any complaints from the users.
That's good enough for me to buy some more when the need arises.
Right USB Port Dies.......2007-11-21
Like some others, I found this device unreliable. The right-hand USB port ceased to work after about a week. Off to purchase something a little more "industrial".
This is a great product.......2007-11-15
I really like Iogear products. I have this switch connected up on a MAC and PC and have no problems with it. In addition, Amazon gives a better price than the brick and mortar stores. I would recommend this item to anyone who needs to connect two computers to a single monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Buggy, crappy, reboot-craving piece of junk.......2007-11-09
Works for a limited amount of time then starts acting up. I've had two of these for two different computers and they experience the same problems. Sometimes when you switch over, the mouse simply hangs. It's not a wireless mouse...just a standard USB laser mouse. However, many times I have to unplug the mouse from the KVM and plug it into the computer to get it to recognize. The keyboard always switches over and I haven't had a problem with it. However, the sound sometimes gets splices...instead of switching the audio it will combine them. Stay away from this product! It will cause you no end of headaches!

Customer Reviews:
Good but a bit slow.......2007-11-30
Works as expected but the n800 has very slow response times, I highly recommend that you use the n810 since it has an integrated GPS unit in it.
I'm reasonably happy with it........2007-08-29
I'm not sure why the previous reviewer had map missing map data. You have to select the proper map (see 1st comment under application).
I used this device last week for a trip from Washington, D.C. to Denver, via Dallas and have the following:
Map Data:
- The map data contains a lot of town/zip-code inaccuracies. Use the zip code to look up addresses, especially rural ones.
- Some street numbers are missing, even if the street appears on the map.
- Some street numbers are not accurate to the location (off by hundreds of yards).
Application (the first 3 were the worst):
- It won't automatically change maps. I had to specify a destination at the Mississippi river, cross it, change maps & specify the real destination. History is tied to the loaded map.
- If you aren't on a road (such as in a parking lot), it can't give you route data (instead of assuming the nearest road).
- I had one rural address that it said existed, and couldn't plot a route. I noticed that it couldn't do the last little bit. I backed out about 2 miles and was able to get directions to there and once I got there, it could plot the last 2 miles. Go figure.
- The "Sara" voice is annoyingly happy with an upper midwest accent (I think Chicago). No other American Woman voice. May try a British voice instead. Looks like you could replace them with your own (they are OGG files). Not sure I want my wife or daughter giving me instructions though!
- Sometimes it would talk you through a highway split, sometimes it wouldn't.
- Only about half a dozen of the last destinations are in the history. My Mio device has remembered all of them.
- A couple of times the application exited on it's own with no comment from the device.
- Private driveways are present (especially rural areas) and it gives you turning instructions to stay on the road which are not necessary.
- Sometimes it gives you a 2 mile warning before a turn, sometimes it doesn't.
- In 2-D mode, it won't keep North at the top, even if you try to select it.
- In night-mode, only the map is darkened, not all the other display items, so it is still bright.
- Power save mode should be disabled if the device is plugged in.
GPS Receiver:
- Doesn't provide battery data to the application.
Good Points:
- The directions are better than from my Mio C710 which likes to say: "Keep left. Keep left. Turn Right" and now that I'm in the far left lane....
- I like the seperate GPS receiver (so I can move the N800 around the car).
- The GPS receiver was sensitive enough that it didn't have to be on the dash.
- Battery life was good. I swapped the car changer between devices every 3-4 hours.
Not ideal for the United States yet.......2007-07-30
NokiaUSA has this listed on their store now, but for now there aren't maps for the NaviCore software that this uses. If you go to their website directly you'll not be able to purchase it for the US.
I'm surprised the earlier reviewer found US street data *at all*.
Buyers should note that this isn't useful for the US market in general at this time.
good idea with startup hiccups.......2007-07-09
This GPS device works more or less as advertised. It is definitely not as smooth to use as a Nuvi 350. But the biggest problem I had (which made me return it) was that there were only maybe 10% of the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul shown. It was very weird in that the lakes, rivers, streams, railroad tracks, etc were shown...just no streets. I sent it back and had another sent out, but the 2nd one had the same problem. I'm guessing if these streets were missing, then plenty of others will be too. I really wanted this gadget to work so I'm very disappointed. I tried getting an explanation from the Navicore people but that was absolutely fruitless. I assume that eventually this will be fixed but for the time being: buyer beware.
