The display is crisp and clear, the free traffic is great. Warning, it does not just warn of that which is in your route but when it is in your route it will reroute you after you choose to accept or deny. the menus are easy enough and take a trial or two to get used to. I use mine on the motorcyclse, cars and amusing children on the plane by simply tracking altitude, speed and directions. I have read 612 mph at 42,000 ft. The window mount annoys some persons but i have found it a convenient place to mount my Valentine One Radr and is works conveniently for all my vehciles even when used on the side windows rather than the front. The 7100 and 7200 will have more POI's and that is good. I had the TOM TOM 330 and found multiple freeway exits that were 30 years old not in its data base. They did have a feature to allow you to update TOM TOM. Navigon has had every one I run across. The battery life is a few hours on day settings and much longer on nite. The stylus is fine or the finger, more uses than expressing displeasure. The aquisition time when used where it was turned of is quick, take it a few hundred miles or a thousand away and it can take a minute to find itself but don't they all? 0-612 mph, sea level or less to 42,000 ft, not bad at all.Read full review
Bought a reconditioned unit and I'm very surprised with the results. I read all the previous reviews and was a little skeptical but I live in Atlanta and was really looking for the free traffic alerts. I had a TomTom and was happy with it until the traffic ready input came apart ( plus the yearly fee ) I decided to try this Unit. After initial charge the unit picked up a signal within 30 seconds inside the house that was a lot faster the the TomTom. The setup,input of destinations and general menus where quite easy to maneuver through with a little thought. The touch screen is a little slow but you can adjust the sensitivity. The screen does get cluttered but again that can also be changed. I also found that the POI's where very accurate ( I.E. Resturants,Gas stations and the like.) It DOES not come with a full owners manual but it can downloaded from the Navigon site. Overall with the price and free traffic alerts it's make a great GPS for the moderate user.Read full review
I bought this to upgrade my Navigon 2100. It is basically the same as the 2100 as far as software and the text-to-speech voice. The same pronunciation problems are on the 7100. But the 7100 is bigger and the screen size makes a difference, I also like the window mount a lot better than the one that came with the 2100. The touch screen is not good at all unless you use your fingernail or the stylus (but in a world with iPhones, that is not a fair comparison.) The device does seem quicker than the 2100 and I just love the way the Navigon does GPS versus any of those other companies. That is why I bought this second hand versus spending the same cash on a new one. I would recommend this to anyone who like the Navigon software. Also do yourself a favor if you live in a city with high housing developments and buy the FreshMaps service for $50. The updated maps are worth it if you have a job that requires a lot of driving like mine.Read full review
It is a good product even for a refurbished unit. It has a few bonus features thaat are important to me. The first is the stylus located on the device instead of in the pouch which is a pain with my old unit. The second is the handsfree bluetooth capabilities for my cell phone. It lets me use the navigon as a phone along with the headset jack for my Koss headset which i need due to my hearing imparement. So in actuality it is the perfect product for me. The reason I only give it a good rating is that the touch screen sometimes needs a little extra effort to get it to work. The maps, like all GPS that I have used is about 3 years behind. But I can work around that. Don't hesitate to purchase one if you have the chance.
It's really a good GPS at reasonable price. The positive features are Reality view and live FREE traffic. The only negative point I think is that the GPS takes comparatively long time to recalculate alternate route. I have used other GPS systems and if you miss your way, the alternate route is calculate in no time. SO that you can take that route immediately. Howver, for Navigon 7100 it takes so long that even you miss to take alternate route by the time it gives you that route. Otherwise, pricewise and featurewise this is good GPS system.
