I don't even know where to begin with how unsatisfied I was with this product.Gave it one week prior to returning it.Impossible to enter data- very small keys and hard to touch.Inaccurate directions, very slow, terrible speaker, etc. etc, etc. Steer clear of this GPS unit.
Rating:  - Nice Stylish Unit, Too Slow Mount Breaks
Unit looks better than any other unit, however, navi is slow and sluggish, it is not sensitive to the touch at all, u have to use your nails or else you'll never get it. I find myself pressing buttons a couple of times before it process it.
The free traffic is okay. I turned the device to not use tolls and U turns but it does it anyway. Whats that setting do if it does it anyway? It routes me the worst way possible for some trips.
The mount is garbage, it breaks all the time, i'm on my 3rd one! Navigon keeps replacing it free though.
It is a sleek stylish system with many features, reality view is okay but not always accurate.

Navigon 7100 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator
I received this GPS unit last Xmas and have been using it for the past year.I've used other GPS units and I have to say this one exceeded all my expectations by far.It's beautiful to look at and takes functionality to the next level.While ALL electronics can be a little glitchy from time to time I'll take this one any day.Most of my glitches are/were user error.Once you learn how to actually use it, it's flawless.CHeers and happy driving!
Rating:  - Good price But you will need to spend extra $100
Extra $100 will need to be spent for current map update and for dash mount, as windshield mount doesn't stay attached. It's too long. Mine fell off 3x in first week and broke. Vendor Globazar? said it was a wear and tear issue and suggested I contact Navigon as they are aware of the problem.
This is a good looking unit and a good price but maps and speed limit signs are outdated.
Rating:  - Navigon 7100 Gets you there!
After days of researching other GPS units, I finally pruchased the 7100 from Navigon.I compared this unit to Garmin,Nextar,Mio,and Magellin. All the units have qualities alike for the most part all with pros and cons but, the 7100 came ahead of the other GPS's for it's dollar value and the features you get. My first impression was that the 7100 had a sleek look and slim design. First boot of the 7100 found a signal within a few seconds. The screen I noticed is bright and easy to read in day light and in dark conditions. The menus seem easy to navigate through but it takes somewhat of a heavy finger to operate the touch screen . You can calibrate the touch screen through the settings menu. I did that and it didn't seem to help,just my prefrence for an easier touch. Turn by turn voice alerts worked very good with no problem hearing the commands. I have my volume set about in the middle of the adjusment bar. I know other GPS'S you can change the dialect of the voice but you cannot on this unit. Setting up and saving your POI'S seemed easy enough, but the text and number pads were small causing you too enter the wrong letter or number. No big deal though, I use a pointer from my wife's old Palm Pilot to make entries. As I did, many of you might not care for the mount. It is slim in design but I could only place it just below my rear view mirror because it is too long. I tried to place it in other locations on my windsheild (2003 GMC Sierra Pick-up) but it was too close for me to read clearly and obstructed my view. There are a couple universal mounts available if you so desire. I have not yet tried the Bluetooth feature so I can't advise you on that. I hooked the 7100 via USB cable to my PC and found an update on Navigons web site to download. It is almost a 2 gig download so be patient when doing this, I have high speed broadband and it still took 30 minutes or so. I also purchased Freshmaps (map updates) to update new roads being built through out the country, and POI's. It works like the udate I first downloaded. It too is a very large download, that had an update for the summer of 2008. I know now that my unit is current. Overall I am very pleased with the 7100. This unit is very accurate in getting you where you want to go. Like me you won't be sorry buying a Navigon 7100!!!!!
