Navigon 2100 MAX

It used to be that 4.3-inch WGVGA-resolution widescreens were reserved for premium GPS devices, with entry-level models getting 3.5-inch, 4:3 screens. Not anymore: The top tier manufacturers now sell value-priced units with bigger, broader displays....

4.3-inch widescreen display. Built-in traffic receiver. Text-to-speech conversion. Multi-segment routing. Helpful Reality View and Lane Assistant features. Optional FreshMaps update service

Slow route calculation. Small POI database. Speed and trip data displayed in small fonts

Navigon's 2100 max entry-level widescreen GPS unit proves that you get what you pay for. While the device does come equipped with some of the same fancy features offered by its higher-end sibling, its effectiveness is hindered by a small POI database...

Navigon 2100 max

Navigon's 2100 max is cheap and has some higher-end features, but it's dragged down by lower-end performance.

4.3-inch widescreen display. Built-in traffic receiver. Text-to-speech conversion. Multi-segment routing. Helpful Reality View and Lane Assistant features. Optional FreshMaps update service.

Slow route calculation. Small POI database. Speed and trip data displayed in small fonts.

Navigon 2100 Max review: Navigon 2100 Max

The new Navigon 2100 Max features some nice additions, including a larger screen and advanced lane guidance, but the portable navigation device is still tripped up by sluggish performance.

Navigon 2100 Max GPS Device

This device will get you where you're going--if you can tolerate its quirks.

Reality View shows roads as they actually look ; Sleek design and nice display

Touch screen can be difficult to use ; Interface isn't intuitive

For additional navigation assistance, you can sign up for Navigon's $79 FreshMaps service, which is good for up to 12 map and POI database updates over three years. For a one-time fee of $99, you can purchase open-ended access to Navigon's...

Review: Navigon The Navigon 2100 Max

If you're climbing Mount Everest, you don't haggle with the Sherpas. If they think they're getting ripped off, they might just ditch you at 19,000...

Midrange features at a flea-market price. The speaker has a good set of lungs and demands to be heard. The unit’s excellent mounting bracket is virtually shake-free

Sluggish response time frustrates and causes double-taps. Obstinate refusal to recognize certain towns even though they show up in auto-fill enrages the most gentle souls

Navigon 2100 review: Navigon 2100

Navigon's line of portable navigation systems seems to follow the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, offering three different flavors with one to hopefully match your tastes and needs. For the gadget hounds and GPS enthusiasts, there's the...

The entry-level Navigon 2100 features a sleek, compact design and has an affordable price tag that includes text-to-speech functionality. The unit has an integrated traffic receiver, so you have the option of adding traffic updates at a later time.

The system is sluggish, and route recalculations weren't efficient. The user interface isn't as intuitive as that of the competition and can be especially confusing for first-time buyers.

Though the affordable price tag and text-to-speech functionality are nice, the Navigon 2100's sluggish performance and roundabout route recalculations are a turnoff; you can get a better entry-level portable navigation device in the Mio C230.

The Navigaon 2100 MAX certainly steps up where the standard screen 2100 could not in the area of screen real estate. The extra width of the screen offers more space to tap letters for data entry and see information as you are on the road. The data...
