I returned a previous GPS because it was slow calculating routes. The Navigon 2100 Max is much faster even re-calucating routes takes seconds. I have no problem hearing or understanding the voice commands. I am able to get traffic alerts, which is appreciated esp. since I live in a large city. I am very satisfied with my purchase. This is a lot of product for the cost.
Best GPS Ever! December 3, 2008

I just got this Navigon for my wife because the Tom Tom one she had broke down. So I wanted something new that has a nice look and work efficiently.
Well this Navigon 2100max does it all. The glossy and thin look will make you think you got something very expensive when I actually paid for a very low price! The LCD screen is big enough, the map graphics and colors are excellent! Very smooth and fast! You won't have to wait for 1 min or 2 for a GPS signal! It even shows you the name of the restaurants as you are driving down the road, it shows real fast food and gas station logos. The turn to turn direction is 100% accurate unlike other GPS telling you to turn when you aren't even there yet. This machine will show you the speed limit on any road and will warn you when you go way over the speed limit, will even tell you about upcoming traffic jam and change route for you. I don't even want to mention about Exit guide! This thing can tell you what kind of restaurant or gas station or if there is a rest area in the next exit when you are on the freeway! What else can you ask! Get your money's worth with the Navigon 2100max. You will also get free update maps for 2 or 3 years! I just got another one for my sister in law and about to buy a 3rd one! Also one more thing for business people, this Navigon can log your business trip mileage! Very good for taxes purpose! I have said enough ! There are a lot more to it but I will let you guys discover it!

My First GPS And Its Great!!!!! December 6, 2008

This GPS does everything the $400.00 & $500.00 GPS systems do plus an whole lot more. FREE traffic updates for life & 3 years of free maps that can be downloaded whenever you want.
it knows all the school zones and warn you before you get to them. The P.O.I. in this thing is the best on the market right now. The battery last an long time and getting an GPS signal at startup is real fast, less then 10 secs here in Fort. Lauderdale, Florida.
The Text-To-Speech works great and is very clear even at max volume. Lane assistant and Reality View will blow your mind. If you like me and don't need the bluetooth or MP3 player build in then this GPS is for you.
This is my first GPS and now I am an Navigon fan for life.
Thanks Navigon for making such an great GPS and thanks Amazon.com for shipping it to me fast.
Very satisfied; I highly recommend this GPS December 17, 2008

I bought this GPS on Black Friday from Amazon.com and received it in 5 days. This is my first GPS, but I have been researching different brands of GPS for quite some time. In order to write this review, I have been using this unit extensively in the last two+ weeks. I will give my account of the pros and cons according to importance here.
1. Free lifetime traffic. I personally believe that free lifetime traffic offers a lot of value. There is a reason why other brands like Garmin charge $$ a month for this service. I feel I am in control when I can see where an accident or slow traffic is. I have been very happy to use this feature in the last few days when we got a lot of rains and many accidents happened. For the unit I bought, I had to activate the traffic feature online. There was instruction on how to do this in the package. Others reported that they could use it out of box.
2. FreshMaps. Amazon.com claims that all GPS units sold from Amazon.com have up-to-date maps. If it is true, then Navigon must have just released a new version in the last three weeks or so. I tried the frashmaps feature on my Navigon 2100 Max, and it updated the maps as well as the software on the GPS. I noticed that the original map (48 continental states only) came as a 1.2(?) GB mega-size file in the unit. After the update the maps are now in 48 smaller files (one for each state). As a result, the Navigon 2100 Max now responds much faster! It now takes ~60 MB less total disk space than the old version. Recalculation (when you miss a turn) time is almost twice faster! Other noticeable features added include automatic switching to standby mode in 30 seconds after lost power (engine off) and a button to turn off the unit on the left bottom corner of the screen. I am not sure whether this is new, but now you can tap on somewhere on the map and it offers you options to (1) Take me there (2) Add to route (3)(4) (I forgot what these two were).
3. Fast and accurate reception. The GPS receiver is of very high sensitivity. It locates the satelites in half a minute or so. I was told by others that the GPS unit had to be mounted on the dashboard so as to let the unit see a clear sky. This is not true with the Navigon 2100 Max. I put it inside of the car and it still gets good reception.
4. Screen size. I thought to get the Navigon 5100, but hesitated when some reviews said that the buttons were too crowded on the screen. The 2100 Max definitely does not have this problem with a 4.3 inch screen.
5. Easy configuration. You can pretty much control everything of how it displays, such as 2D/3D maps, Day/Night display, speed limit warning(5,10,15 and it is very accurate, too).
6. Route planning. I don't have experience using other brands of GPS, so I can't comment on the comparison part. But I feel there are much to be improved for this GPS in this area. One day it instructed me to turn left when it was a one-way street to the right in Downtown San Diego. This was before the recent map update though. I normally take a local street to avoid freeway traffic on my way to work in the morning. The day I decided to follow the route given by this GPS, it took me 20 minutes longer on the road (waiting in traffic). Unless the unit knows rush hour traffic information, I don't see how it can improve on the planning. I am very good at reading maps and road signs, so I am fine with what it is now.
Finally I would say that a lot of issues are actually due to bugs in the software and can be corrected with a software update. I am in the software business, and I know it is impossible to make any software completely bug-free. With FreshMap also updates the software, we can rest assured that Navigon is making progress on fixing bugs.
Great product for the Price December 16, 2008

Have owned this GPS unit for about 2 weeks now and Gotta say a great unit for the price. I plugged the unit in to let it charge as recommended and when I turned the GPS on it located it's position in under 2 mins. The hardest part to setting the unit up was unlocking Traffic Alerts....All other Unlock codes are in number sets of 3 while the T.A. code was a number set of 4. Once unlocked it shows the Alert symbol and on 1 test trip once I programmed destination it automatically popped up a T.A. in the immediate vicinity and worked out an alternate route.
Have used it on 2 Test trips....1 to another citys downtown area. It used the more known route to and not the route recommended by the club. When I decided to use club directions it immediately began re-calculating route. Once in the city it had me going over 1 block further than club directions.
The 2nd trip was to visit a friend out of town and it used the identical diretions I was given by my friend to get to their house in this case.
It's pretty acurate...within approximately 20 feet from front of vehicle.
Need to do the Map update as didn't reconize a new part of the Interstate, but the 2 yrs of updates that's not a problem.
Have to Love the Lane assist as a visual reference to where you need to be is in-valuable, not to mention Text to Speech which makes driving at night a pleasure once again.....No more straining to see street signs at night or in bad weather...this GPS tells you 500 feet ahead of your next turn.
For what All is included with this GPS package you can't go wrong for the money on My Account purchasing the 2100 Max.
