Summary: Good system.
Comment: I haven't used it much, but the GPS works very well. It had all the points I needed, and the traffic worked pretty well. I'm upset I had to purchase the traffic updates separately, but it was relatively inexpensive from Amazon.

Summary: Not a Bad Navigation Product
Comment: This is the first Nav system I have ever bought. I bought it because it was very inexpenisive and thought why not. I did go to the manufacturers web site before purchasing it. It runs off of Mircosoft Windows CE and the pictures I saw made it seem easier and nicer for the money. When I got it I thought it would have the latest map, but the map was from April 2008. Which in area I live in make it out of date quickly. I did purchase the traffic activation which set me back another $50 and then Purchased map updates, another $50-$80. The traffic is lifetime but the maps are good for 3 years. Anyways, I ended up paying well over what I could have got a brand like garmin which they use in aircraft. But for a first time unit, it's not bad. The user interface is easy to use. I really like that it will warn you if your exceeding the speed limit which you can set up for 5 miles-15 miles over or turn off warn. The updates for the map take forever to download even on high speed internet. BUt I just got the latest map and it's right on. Over all if you want a basic starter easy to use nav I would try this one out. If your really into nav, I would spend at least 300+ for a better model with a bigger screen.

Summary: Would Not Repurchase or Recommend
Comment: Got this at Staples for 119.99 --- and I did not quibble re: the price for the features promised. It's not bad looking either, and I don't mind that is so small. That works for me.
Unfortunately, the GPS is not reliable. It works sometime, yes...and when it works ---it is mostly as promised.
But sometimes...to often indeed...it does not work. Now maybe I have a lemon...but here's what happens. One... I often can't get a connection even in places where the signal worked well previously. Can't figure out why the GPS so often can't work. Two... when it is working, too often the directions don't make sense. What logic is this thing using, I pray? It goes so wrong on routes with which I'm familiar, I'm afraid to trust it when I in strange territory, and with a GPS ---that's a very, very bad way to feel. Three... coding and working with the thing is not intuitive... so I often can't get it to work. And my unit did not come with anything except brief start-up instructions. Why not include instructions or a web site or something?
Anyway... I wish I had waited until Black Friday to purchase a brand-name GPS (Garmin is good!). I'd advise you to do just that.

Summary: Excellent value for the price
Comment: After four months of using my Navigon 2100 I can only report good experiences. It has a good POI database, the route calculation has yet to fail me, and it doesn't try to be anything but a GPS navigator. That's right- this GPS receiver is ONLY a GPS receiver. It doesn't try to be a music/video player, PDA, address book, calculator, or milking machine; it's just a GPS receiver and a good one. There are several handy features, the best of which is the quick "Take Me Home" option.
I'm also pleased with the range of maps available. The unit I bought came with the 48 states only; however, you can find maps for all of North America, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe on the navigon.co.uk site for £55.00 and up. Brave Types can find them elsewhere, however, I can't speak for the legality, accuracy, or advisability of doing so.

Summary: Navignon 2100
Comment: Pro: Pretty decent for the price. The best feature is the arrows for which lane to be in nothing else even comes close.
Con: It has locked up on me once and I had to use the soft reset on the device.
I've used TomTom and Garmin GPS before this does as well navigating but is slower. The maps are as good as my updated TomTom 300 but lack points of interest. Icons for POI show up as Mobil or Burger King on the TomTom I see a gas pump or fork and spoon. The symbols are nice to tell what type of restaruant you are approaching.
Overall its a good deal at $99.00
