A Short Take On Latest Car GPS From Navigon

Written by admin on November 1st, 2009

The Navigon 5100 has an integrated traffic receiver with subscription-free traffic service, also features a lane assistant function for optimal routing and text-to-speech functionality.

The Navigon 5100’s screen is on the smaller side, and it is slower than normal  to get a satellite fix. As sleek and stylish as it is, the design of the vehicle mount fit everyone’s personal taste.

Finally the Navigon 5100 offers drivers many useful navigation tools beyond basic driving directions; if only it was smaller price tag and has a larger display.

The NAVIGON 2100 Max sports a 4.3″ touch screen display, larger than the 2100. Also has a text-to-speech function. It provides more life-like pictures of major highway exits and interchanges.

NAVIGON is also now offering a feature called “DirectHelp” which is similar to safety features Garmin and TomTom have recently introduced. This feature detects and speaks out your current location and pin points any POIs almost instantly if you are lost.

Other advanced features offered include a Lane Assistant, Route Planning with multi destination routing, and speed warnings.

The Navigon 7200T provides address entry via voice and 3D renderings of major landmarks. The GPS also offers features like text-to-speech functionality, advanced lane assistance, and integrated Bluetooth.

The 7200T’s voice command system is limited to address entry and requires some training. The user interface isn’t as simple as a Garmin or TomTom unit.

Though the Navigon 7200T doesn’t have cleanest user interface, the portable GPS offers plenty of advanced navigation features and most importantly accurate directions.
