Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description -- November 11, 2007: In the U.S., German-based Navigon may be the biggest name in GPS you've never heard. Navigon has long been a major provider of navigation software to automotive manufacturers for in-dash gps navigation devices, but only recently did they introduce portable navigation devices under their own name. What they offer up, however, demonstrates immediately that this is a company that knows navigation inside and out. The 2100 is the lowest-priced (and smallest) of Navigon's line of portable GPS navigators. While it lacks some of the features of it's bigger siblings, the 7100 and 5100, it packs solid navigation and some unique features into its diminutive frame. The Navigon Family of Portable Navigators The 2100 and 5100 have 3.5-inch screens, while the 7100 has a 4.3-inch widescreen. The big difference is that the 5100 and 7100 come with free lifetime traffic data, while with the 2100 you have to buy an activation code separately. The 5100 and 7100 have a feature called "Lane Assistant" that will suggest which lane you should be driving in, but that's not such a big deal. Another important difference is that the 7100 also adds bluetooth-capability for hands-free mobile phone integration, which is really handy. If you want that feature, do check out the 7100. This chart may help as well.
Reality view guides you with photo-realistic 3D images of junctions, complete with actual sign text and exit ramp guidance. This makes translating what the navigator is telling you to what you see on the road instantaneous. Superior Software and Hardware The features and functions of the Navigon 2100 are controlled via intuitive, easy-to-use animated menus that use predictive text input to quickly and easily select your city, state and address. Maps and menus appear on its extra-large and elegant, high-contrast 3.5-inch, full-color touch-screen display. The 5100 includes a powerful Samsung 400 MHz processor, a fully integrated SiRF Star III GPS chip, 64 MBs of both RAM and ROM built in, and a rechargeable 1,200 mAh lithium ion battery that is rated for 4.5 hours of continuous use. All this is housed in an ultra-thin, sleek chrome housing that weighs only 6.3 ounces, and measures just 4.2 x 3.3 x 0.9 inches (W x H x D). The Navigon 5200 even comes pre-loaded with complete maps of the U.S. and Canada, providing you with superbly accurate, seamless door-to-door directions wherever your vehicular travels might take you. Note that the 2100 runs on the Microsoft Windows CD Net 5.0 operating system. A PC is required to use additional map data, and in such cases users require Windows 2000, ME, XP or higher, as well as a CD ROM drive and a USB port. An SD/MMC card reader is recommended as the 7100 not only uses SD cards, but also comes with a 2 GB SD card in the package.

 Rating:  - EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!I have been wanting to purchase a GPS unit for quite some time (years actually) but I waited to buy until the technology caught up with pricing, or vice versa, however you'd like to look at it. I just thought spending several hundred dollars on a unit was to much. I already have an Ipod, radar detector, CB and Sirius Satellite radio in my car so I really didn't want a unit that had all the bells and whistles. I wanted an "Entry level" unit that did what it was supposed to do and ... Read More Rating:  - Horrible MapsNavigon 2100 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator The maps used in this device are just horrible. Locally, routes are suggested that make no sense to anyone familiar with the area. Last week, we went to a cookout at a friends place and after being routed onto a dead end road, among other wrong directions, we finally found our destination. A friend, using a Tom Tom said his GPS took him right to the door... no problem. Last Saturday, we were going to another house we had not visited before. We were ... Read More Rating:  - Decent product for the money with several warningsThe Good: 1. Cheap 2. Small 3. Text-to-speech 4. Decent navigation recommendations 5. Nice pictorial highway signs on the display The Bad: 1. Very slow interface. Hit a button. Wait 1-2 seconds before the device responds. 2. The power input is on the bottom of the device and therefore prevents it from being operated flush on the dash when plugged in. The Ugly: 1. I find it very annoying that when I plug the device into a mini ... Read More Rating: - Great Product Excellent PriceI ordered this product on Sunday, the 13th from 6th Ave through Amazon. The price was great, $126! I just got it today however and that is my only gripe. I know it has nothing to do with the product which is why I omitted this information from my rating of this item. For all those considering this item it is definitely a great purchase, my only warning is to be careful of who ships your item and who you buy it from. I ordered the product from 6th Ave on Sunday and so I knew that the order would not ... Read More Rating:  - ok but not greatI had a Garmin 330 which was a gift. It was stolen about 3 months ago and I was looking for a low end replacement. This is a low end replacement. Not bad but I guess I was spoiled. The operation is not very intuitive and can be frustrating. The voice prompts are very robotic sounding (vs. garmin you could actually change the dialect) It didn't seem as accurate; e.g. if you missed a turn it took a considerable amount of time to say anything.
