Navigon 2100 Max Car GPS Receiver

Pros: Attractive, very user-friendly, color/3.5" touchscreen, seems to work quickly
Cons: Some routes not ideal, limited locations available

I don't have a great sense of direction, and coupled with living in a new city and driving to a lot of new places with a new baby in the car, a GPS was a perfect gift for me last year.  I was very pleasantly surprised to get this Navigon 2100 GPS as ...

Pros: Screen, weight, battery
Cons: No Bluetooth

Navi On a recent drive with a friend I had the opportunity to test out his new Navigon 2100 Max. This navigation system is the big brother of the Navigon 2100 and has more than enough extras to make it the better choice of the two. It has a great look, ...

Pros: Tons of high-end feaures: big screen, traffic alerts, text to speech
Cons: Slow.  Clunky user interface.  Oh, and slow.

I have owned the Navigon 2100 max for about a year now.  As I write this review, I am doing it mindful of similar products on the market, the state of the technology and value (features included for what was paid).  Overall, this is a decent ...

Pros: Excellent UI. Text-to-speech for roads. Reality View for highways. Lifetime traffic.
Cons: Navigon left NA market. Traffic isn't in some cities. Questionable map update policies. Glitches.

Navigon may have left North America, but getting your hands on one of these babies cheap is a great idea.Navi... gone...Navigon is a German company. They left the North American market. Although they promised to "honor their ...

Pros: Good value, Text to Speech, Maps
Cons: Slow keypad response, Not POIs, Slow to receive reception

I have owned the Navigon 2100 for over a year now and I have been very pleased with the machine.  Compared to other GPS systems that cost much more, I would have to say the Navigon does not have all of the same features, but for the basic use of ...

Pros: Highway lanes clearly marked, traffic updates
Cons: Cumbersome user interface

My wife wanted a GPS unit for her car; I have a Subaru and my GPS was built in. I went to Radio Shack and looked at various units, but didn't try any of them. This one seemed to have lots of features for less than what other units at the same price ...

Pros: gps refurbished recertified navigon deals shipping
Cons: none

I bought the navigon 2100 from eCost in perfect condition for $89.99. It was recertified by Navigon .... and the packaging, product and product info was in perfect condition. excellent experience

Pros: Not many.  Free traffic alerts?
Cons: Slow interface, noisy, poor search function.  Slow to respond to touch.

After having a Magellin and a Garmin (both old now), I decided to try on with text to voice and traffic.

Overall I find the GUI very poor and frustraiting on this unit.  An example, looking for what restaurants are at the next exit on the highway.  Garmin and Magellin - press button to pull up details about a selected exit, then one or two buttons to see a list of restaurants at the exit selected.  Navigon, it took me 5 minutes to figure it out, basically you have to tell it what type of food you are looking for, then it will list all available by vendor name order instead of by exit / distance.

Likewise the traffic alerts block the screen until you press OK, and you may have to go through many of these alerts if you are in a busy area (i.e. DC traffic.)

I'm ready to trash this and buy a new one.
