Buyer's feedback:
- * Navigon 5100 ... It is as advertized. Biggest plus--the web site is a big plus to help assist in understanding how it works--also got a FREE map update. Biggest negative--it takes about 2 minutes to sync up with the GPS satellites when first turning it on. Looking forward to using it on some long trips coming up.
Buyer's feedback:
- Fabulous GPS for the price!I love this GPS! It is simple to use; the commands are clear and simple to follow. It is able to redircet you, if you take a wrong turn, in seconds. I love the lifetime traffic updates, they are quick and accurate!
Buyer's feedback:
- * Navigon 5100 ... Navigon 5100 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator I recently used my Navigon 5100 for the first time out of town. The graphics are amazing. The unit is simple to use. The feature rich 5100 hands down beats the socks off of similarly priced competitor's units. The voice to text, free traffic, real view graphics and inexpensive updates make the Navigon 5100 a value shopper's dream unit. I updated my unit right out of the box for free at the Navigon website. While driving, I found the voice guidance easy to understand and simple to follow. The reroute feature was quick and responsive if I make a detour in an area I am familiar. My only complaint would be the long loading time with initial start up but I can live with a 30 sec wait if I am getting free traffic reports for life.
Buyer's feedback:
- worst GPS i've EVER usedi returned this gps today after using it for 5 days. at first i loved this product, big screen, text to speech street names, preloaded maps, free traffic alerts, and relatively quick locking on satellites, low prices (i got it for 149.99) - what's not to love?
only after i installed it in my car did i realize why they are selling this at such a huge discount - the routing thing totally doesn't work! i work in jersey city and live in central NJ, all other GPSes (the preinstalled ones in my other car, yahoo/google maps, and another garmin that i upgraded from) all suggest the same route exit 14A on the NJTP and then take the 78 extension. Not this one - they want me to go all the way up to 15E.
a lot of local routes are also weird, if you miss a turn, it does recalculate but mostly trys to route you to the original route it calculated. talk about being stupid.
for all the savings i get in the lowered price i would've given it back in 3 days on added gas money, car depreciation for going more miles, and the additional time it takes to get you to your destination.
WORST GPS EVER!!!
Buyer's feedback:
- * Navigon 5100 ... I have only had the Navigon 5100 for one month. The last trip I had friends along and they had their Garmin 260W and we compaired the two side buy side. They both took us right to the door where we were going but the Navigon had much better grapics and detail along the roadway. My friend even attested that while on the highway system the overhead signs were exact the lane choice with the arrows were great. I would have rated the Navigon 5100 five stars but the only down fall I see is the battery life. On a full charge it does not last longer then two to three hours. Other then that a great product so far.
