 Returned it...Did not perform in the Philadelphia Area February 11, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this item because it looked good on paper. I did not want to skimp as it was a present.
Here is how it failed.
Incident one - Even when I went 3 miles off course, in an attempt to test its ability to reroute. It tried to take me back to the original course. I was only 4 miles away from my destination if I kept going straight on my current course.
Incident 2 - Told me to turn right when the road was visible on my left. As soon as I made the turn the unit instructed me to make a u-turn accross a 4 lane high way.
Incident 3 - The directions from Willow Grove PA to Langhorne were dead wrong. They should have been take PA Turn Pike east (Toll) to Route 1 North. The unit and all of its graphics instructed me to go west bound on a toll road. When I used my sound judgment and went east, it kept trying to get me to make an illegal u-turn. At the correct exit, its directions were "Route 1 south bound, to Street Road, Street Rd to Route 1 North Bound." This will take you out of the way, when you can exit directly onto the highway north bound.
If it cannot handle major highways, it is essentially useless.
Calls to the technical support were equally disappointing. They ended in the already documented "I'll have a supervisor call you back," which never happens.
The final insult, is if you lose the SD card, the unit will not function. You cannot format another card and there was no way to get a replacement part. I called Tech Support to see what would happen, and they did not know how to replace the card. This unit is too expensive to throw away when a small part goes missing.
I have heard that the 2100 is a good unit but I am not willing to trust Navigon with my money.

One of the best GPS on the market February 8, 2008

This is an excellence GPS device. It is a German design, similar quality as BMW and Mercedes. Very accurate and intuitive. Recently, Navigon just came out with a system upgrade for this device. This software upgrade improves overall system peformance and includes the hibernate mode feature(save battery life). I love the windshield craddle design and quick release button. Moreover, Navigon is the only GPS on the market with the free traffic information. The speaker is very loud with volume control. Yes, you can charge and use the device at the same time. This device has a bookmark feature to create a new point of interest and save it as your favorite. Before you buy, google search for prices. [...]
Nice GPS January 31, 2008

This is a very nice GPS system. I'm amazed at some of the negative reviews and nitpicking.... the 5100 has worked great for me so far. I literally have no complaints.
Some points from other reviews that I can address:
The free traffic is great - it certainly looks like its useful here in Chicago.
The sound is a bit quiet - but its not too bad, and really - do you need to hear the directions all the time?
As far as the complaints about the grey screen... jeez. its fine. grey is the background, the road is highlighted in yellow. Its clear. Not fancy. But readable at a glance.
The mount is just fine on my 2006 Impala. POI info is fine - others have complained about post office data and big box store data, but since I never use a post office outside of my own, and I dont usually find myself dying to know where the nearest Costco is.. i dont care. Show me the food, hotels, gas and airports and Im good.
