Navigon 8110: a good design but very poor support
Advantages: Good design Disadvantages: Very bad support
I purchased the Navigon 8110 about a month ago. From the start it wasn't doing what it was supposed to do: navigating. No gps reception, no gps receiver icon on the screen. So, after two days of trying and re-trying I tried to call the support desk. For about 5 times (each time 10 minutes waiting) no luck, the sixth time I called the sales dept. and within 3 seconds the phone was picked up!
The lady promised me to send me the details for sending ... ...I had received a mail from the company, saying "As long as your NAVIGON PRODUCT is more than two weeks old, all we can do, is repair and send back to you." I sent the device back within 3 days!!!
I am still waiting for a reply . . . ...

An Excellent All Rounder!
Advantages: feature-packed, TMC Disadvantages: No automatic re-routing
...Machine itself
The Navigon 2200 boasts a number of features:
TMC
Reality-View Pro
Text-to-Speech
Lane Assistant Pro
Radar Information
Speed Assistant
Now, all these different systems may have baffling names (well, they baffled me), so I will deal with each one in turn. First, however, I will describe the contents of the box.
What you get
The box contains the machine itself. This is a slim system. It is 95mm wide, 72mm high and ... ... Verdict
The Navigon 2200 cost me around £90 when I bought it, which is, in my view, exceptional value for money. It does everything that I could ask for, and more. It is efficient, helpful, unobtrusive and reliable.
If you are buying a sat-nav, or thinking of buying one, take a trip down to Halfords to try it out. According to the Halfords website, the cheapest Sat-Nav with TMC is £130 if you do not choose the Navigon, and the brand leader ...

Navigating your way
Advantages: small & handy, easy to use, not stupidly expensive Disadvantages: freezes if not turned off properly
...Inside the box was the Navigon system itself which is stylish and sleek. It's not too big which is a plus as my mum's is huge and takes up quite a bit of dash space (She's got a Mini but still!). A car holder which attaches to the screen via suction cup and a USB connection cable. The maps cover 40 different countries yet still think the Citron dealership is 100 yards further down the road then it is. There are a couple things like that I have noticed ... ...you have to have the Navigon plugged into the car but the lead is rather long so not a problem. I pop it behind the steering wheel and trail it up to the dash. GRRRR!: You would think that after all the research that my other half did and how much he loves his gadgets that he would properly turn the damn thing off when he uses it! Like heck! He held down the power button when it was still in navigation mode and thus when I turned it on next it got ...

Stressfree travel! No more maps
Advantages: Stress free, easy travel Disadvantages: Can get confusing if you are driving on a new road that isn't on your map!
TOMTOM ONE 3rd edition. I got my tomtom as a Xmas present last year, and wow what a present it was. I like to whizz off for weekends away with my daughter, somerset, Cornwall, London etc and I have always used AA route planner before, which was great, but reading whilst at the wheel isn't really that safe is it! I have also found I can get very stressed if I am trying to find my way somewhere and miss a turning etc. Using the TOMTOM makes my travel ... ...1) Driving around London, tomtom made that so easy, I could spend my time concentrating on what the taxi's and white vans were doing and the computer told me where to go, SIMPLE. 2) On a holiday to Portugal I used my Dads edition Europe. It was fantastic, all I had to do was concentrate on driving on the correct side of the road. What would have normally been a stressful driving experience was a very normal driving experience. SO WHAT IS A SAT NAV? ...
