CNet has a review up on the Navigon 5100 that is worth reading if you are interested in the Navigon line. Recently PCMag reviewed the Navigon 7100 and gave it good, not great marks. Overall, CNet appears to have liked the standard 3.5-inch screen Navigon 5100 as it represents a formidable entry by a challenger, and gives it top markets for navigation as well as some of its new features. Those features include a photo realistic view of complex intersections so that you know which lane to be in. Let’s face it sometimes ‘Keep left’ isn’t enough on some of these highway interchanges that civil engineers dream up.
The unit also comes with Zagat information on top markets, to bolster the regular address/phone information that usually comes with POI’s. The Navigon 5100 also comes with TMC traffic standard, and includes a lifetime subscription. I love the fact that they do this, but am a bit concerned that this is a poor business move. Everyone, including CNet, will look at the price of the unit and think that it’s overpriced, not immediately realizing that the lifetime TMC subscription adds quite a bit of value (and cost) to the unit.
The Navigon 5100 is available at Amazon.
