But the 5100 doesn't stop there. Another advantage it offers over PDA or phone navigation is an integrated TMC receiver. This receives traffic incident information over FM and it does so pretty successfully too, without the need for extra messy wires...

The sleek Navigon 5100 has an integrated traffic receiver with subscription-free traffic service. There's also a lane assistant function for optimal routing and text-to-speech functionality.

The 5100's screen is on the smaller side, and it's slow to get a satellite fix. The design of the vehicle mount may not fit everyone's personal taste.

The Navigon 5100 offers drivers a number of useful navigation tools beyond basic driving directions; we just wish it had a larger screen and a slightly lower price tag.

Ready and easy to use right out of the box. All needed accessories are enclosed and it has great features. When the basic settings are done properly, this product is very easy to use. Live traffic updates helps in route mapping, have avoided go slows...

Nothing serious, volume is a bit low sometimes

Crisp, clear display ; Good voice quality with most prompts coming well ahead of time ; Traffic alerts and rerouting can save time and money ; Design ; Quick rerouting when you get off intial course

3.5" Display can get crowded if all screen options are selected. Text can be small from a distance ; Menus take some getting used to in order to find all options and features ; Night/Day back lighting could be automatic ; No direct input of stores,...

This is my first GPS but have tried out everyone currently on the marker (I work at a GPS retailer.) This device has only proven good for 2 things, it will EVENTUALLY get you to your destination also the Aprox. time of arrival works pretty good. This...

All the features it offers... SUCK. I drive 45 miles to school 3 times a week and there are two highways to take. One is shorter but has more traffic problems while the other is a little longer but less traffic problems. I thought the traffic feature...

Same

This unit is hard to clip on the mount - you have to twist it on (tried 30 times and took me 2-3 times each time I tried) whicn means it has to be mounted higher than your dash

Great screen quality, POI labels and logo's are a nice feature. Traffic receiver worked great in car and indoors without attaching the included antenna (Los Angeles area). Lifetime Traffic service . Build quality appears excellent

Media player should be included in this price range. What, no AC Adapter/Charger included
