 Works great! July 23, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I'm terrible with directions so I bought this hoping it would help me and it did. It found the satellites immediately and kept me moving along quickly. It updates quickly and even if you choose a different route it recalculates a new route and maps it out instantly. The touch screen is responsive and easy to use. It's well made and doesn't feel cheap. The windshield mount works easily and holds the unit in place.
When you register the unit at the Navigon website, you'll find out that a software update is not necessary as of today. FreshMaps is supposed to be available this month (July) and you can sign up for E-mail notification as to when they'll be ready for download. The unit comes with a 2 gig memory card and you can install a larger one when it's needed. The operating system for the mapping program is Windows CE. No problems with it yet.
So far, I'm happy with this unit. It does what I need without a load of unnecessary bells and whistles.
August 3, 2008: As of today, FreshMaps update is now available for this unit. Just go to the Navigon website, log into your account and download the Navigon downloader program. Install the program on your computer and you're ready to go. You can even backup your old maps with this downloader program which is recommended before you download the new maps and install them.
A real life changer for direction-challenged folks like me July 22, 2008

I really didn't think this $200 GPS was going to work very well, but I couldn't resist the price. I'm notoriously bad on directions, so I really hoped it could make a difference. IT SURE DID. I had to take a complicated 26-mile route to a seminar outside LA, including 7 miles in residential area with lots of turns. The voice is the really fantastic part -- it tells you 500 feet before you turn and again 20 feet before the turn. You really don't have time to read the screen while you're driving, but you can glance at it from time to time to see what your next turn is, what lane you need to be in to catch the freeway exit, and what direction you're going. The graphic for complicated freeway interchanges is really great -- arrows shows you exactly what to do at a glance. And every time I took a wrong turn or missed one, the device just kept going, guiding me to my goal. My only complaint is the voice sound is so bad. It's difficult to hear (forget having radio on) and the pronunciation of street names is often hilarious (La Loma is prnounced Laalo.). Anyway, it was the most relaxed drive to a distant seminar I can remember. If you're bad at directions, this could be a life changer for you.

Very good. I took it to New York with no problem. Garmin was looking for signal for three hours. I highly recommend it to any one. Great unit.
 difficult to use, buttons on screen too small, slow, weak POIs July 5, 2008

I bought this little navi unit as a world-traveler device that I could use in the U.S. and in europe. It ended up on ebay a week later.
Once I received it, I found it to be difficult to use, the buttons on the screen too small for my fingers, calculations were slow, the Points of interest database was missing common things I found routinely with my old Garmin c550.
We decided to keep using our old c550 and wait for a better tomtom or Garmin instead. I think the competitor for this unit as far as features go is the Garmin 7xx series, yet the performance is so bad I cannot recommend it to anyone.
Navigon Down The Road July 5, 2008

I find it most usefull when I can go as far as I can on my own, then I kick on the Navigon. The reason is It doesn't seem to take me the best route, especially when I know where I'm going. Only after I reach a point where I need help do I turn it on and it does get me where I want to go.
