Hello,
I am nuts about Electronic Gadget's, Any Electronic Gadget, but mainly GPSs, and their good bits, bad bits, and even the ugly bits, I'll try to be as open minded and informative about them for you as possible, plus a bonus side of repair knowledge to help with the well-known good and bad, so if I could help someone and inform of the best GPSs around, which will help another person make a right decision, that is all I want, and will be pleased that I helped someone with a couple of written words of wisdom. any information is purely from my point of view, everybody writes a review of a device, but there may be a few little bits of information that make or break a decision for you. Also checkout the Blog link at the bottom of the hub for Tonnes more GPS info.
I hope I have been informative for you, in whatever way you see it..
All the best to you
Regards
Richard.
In today's fast lifestyle, we need the GPS for the speed, accuracy, and consistency of getting somewhere, and the GPS is the complete tool for the job !!!
It could locate to inside 6 feet of the destination, which is pretty good by any Mapping/compass standard's, there are different GPS for different scenario's, IE: the regular Car Driver's GPS, the Walker's GPS, the Fisherman, the dog tracker, the sailor, the pilot, the runner, the Truck Driver's GPS etc... So as you may guess, they all have different features on them, Let it be said, you get what you pay for, this is not a big surprise, this is De facto in all walks of life, So if you are thinking of investing in a GPS, Digging a bit deeper in your pocket will help in finding a better device, I am trying to inform of good bits, and the bad bits of the GPS world, and yes, a little of are good, some are bad, and some are ugly :)
But enough about me, let's talk GPS.
Pros: Lane assist alerts you to the lane to be in BEFORE the turn, Instant GPS lock right out of the parking ramp, Blue tooth, Speech recognition that actually works (unlike Garmin which I had to return)- speak the address and it WORKS!!, exclusively $400
Cons: Because it costs so much less than Garmin and has two times the features I nearly did not buy it thinking it would not be as high quality as claimed- I was plesantly suprised the Navigon is everything claimed and more
Summary: First off this thing actually has features that works. Second, you can use it in a large city and get to where you are going due to of its advanced features. When you get in the car and turn the key the device starts automatically. The voice recognition lets you speak in the destination address. The blue tooth connects to your phone letting you make hands free calls. As you control out of the parking ramp in Century City or Downtown LA the instant lock feature finds a GPS signal in seconds which is key in a downtown full of one way streets where one wrong turn means 20 minutes of time lost. Then as you get on the freeway full of bumper to bumper traffic the lane assist shows you in reality view (looks exactly the same as freeway road signs and all and has an arrow in the exact land you will need to be in to merge or exit the freeway. The included LIFETIME traffic avoids and reroutes arounds traffic back ups. Garmin charges you a yearly fee for traffic for a device with half the features and that costs twice as much. Navigon charges only $79 for three years of maps and they update the maps 4 times a year. Garmin charges $99 bucks for one map update that is 6 months to 1.5 years old depending upon when in the year you buy it (by the time they roll out the update it is 6 months old and then they sell it for the next year.
Navigon also beefed up their POI database because I had the 2100 Max before and this has way more POIs. Moreover, having full Zagot reviews for resturants is HUGE if you travel a lot like I do.
best gps on the market...
