5 of 5 very good GPS for the money Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Stu from Lyles, Tn.
I was looking for a good GPS system for my travels. I bought this one after researching several models that were in my price range. Most were close in features and what set this one apart was the free lifetime real time traffic alerts. A couple of people indicated that the sat pickup was slow, but I have found the Sat. pickup to be good. May be not instant but very quick. I wish it had blue-tooth voice activation to change the POI without stopping. The other thing is, I wish it had free upgrades for new maps and POI's. Other than those two things,I am completely satisfied with my system. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Very Nice Display/Graphics Tuesday, August 05, 2008
Kathleen from Lawrenceville, GA
The display is very impressive with all of the points of interests. I live in Atlanta and it does not have the "Reality View" feature that I was looking for. Traffic updates must be read by pressing the icon as opposed to being announced such as on the Garmin Street Pilot. Overall, this is a very nice GPS system. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Navigon 5100 - Great GPS Monday, June 30, 2008
Kenya from Cleveland, OH
Remarkable item! I go no where without it. Features are wonderful, text to speech makes it easier to focus on driving. Lifetime traffic feature is wonderful to avoid messy freeways, many points of interest and easy stand by features so there is not a long start up time. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Very Pleased Saturday, June 14, 2008
Bob from N Canton, Oh
I have worked with multiple GPS units and this is the simplest of the ones I have used. Love the NO CHARGE live traffic updates and the overall sleek styling. If I have not played with it enough to see - I would like it to transmit through the radio. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 So-so. There are probably better ones... Friday, April 04, 2008
A Customer from New York, NY
On the plus side it's slim, attractive and loaded with features. On the negative side, it's a bit slow to "find" you, and I found the interface awkward. I had high hopes, but I think a Magellan or Nuvi is probably a better bet. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Overall a good product Saturday, March 15, 2008
lamruge from Florida
Really like the enhanced graphics at busy intersections, and the traffic re-route feature. Found it difficult to search for specific destinations by name (POI lacks shopping malls), it works better if you know the street addresses. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Navigon vs. VZ Navigator Tuesday, January 01, 2008
Frazier from Birmingham, AL
I had been a VZ Navigator user for about 2 years. I loved the service, but hated the monthly payment. I choose the Navigon because it had FREE traffic and a Detour function. Also, the VZ Navigator doesn't work in rural areas once if you veer off course after leaving your service area because it cannot connect back to the data service.
Overall, I like the device. However, there are a few things I do not like. First, I noticed that if you are suppose to turn left on a road and you take a right turn, the unit actually makes it look like you are turning left until it figures out you aren't actually going in the right direction. Also, the unit ALWAYS tries to place you on a road instead of actually putting you where you are. This causes a lot of problems in parking lots and service roads (that aren't shown on the map). If you are traveling on a service road, many times it'll show you on the main road. For example, I had an instruction to turn to get on the interstate. I turned right before the interstate entrance into a gas station. It thought that I was on the interstate entrance ramp. Of course, when I turn around to pull back out to the road that leads to the ramp, it thinks I'm on the service road that runs under the ramp (I'm still in the gas station service area at the time).
The other thing that I've noticed that if you save your position, it doesn't really save your EXACT position. It gets you back to the general area. For example, I put into my GPS to save my current position while I was in my driveway. When I went around the block in the car and selected my home to navigate to, it directed me the cul-de-sac behind my house. So, I went out to my mailbox and did the same thing. When I went around the block again and selected my home to navigate to, it directed my to the intersection of the cross road to my street which is about 10 houses down from my house. The nice thing about the VZ Navigator is when you select "Where am I?", it gives you a physical address. The Navigon just says, the street name and city.
I already knew the VZ Navigator had 14.1 million POI vs 6 million POI for Navigon so there is no complaint there.
Also, the speaker needs to be louder.
Other than those things, I'm pretty happy with the device, but there is room for improvements. I guess the least annoying thing about the Navigon vs VZ Navigator is that when you miss a turn you don't hear "Recalculating route". Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good LITTLE Unit Monday, December 31, 2007
A Customer from League City, TX
The Navigon 5100 is a very small, but powerful GPS unit. The road hazard feature is very nice. It provides other useful features such as speed limit warnings and upcoming t |
