Delphi Grundig NAV 100 Local

Advantages: Excellent layout and easy to use, many unique features
Disadvantages: I really could not find any!

...Just about the best Christmas present ever. Where do I begin with the NAV100? the stylish looks? Easy to use and versatile layout? Outlook synchronization? Incredible battery life?.... This little sat nav has it all and a lot more. It is like a little mobile PC, containing all the crucial information you will ever need while you are out of the office/home. All your contacts, appointments, addresses, tasks, etc. can be stored on the NAV100 and later accessed. The UK version comes with a 256MB SD card that contains the maps of UK & Ireland and you get all the other European maps on a double CD-ROM. Comes with speed camera alerts from a very well established French company called GPS inform, who currently has the most detailed speed camera database of the entire Europe. I found the joy stick and the buttons on the unit an absolute... Read review

...I agree, Grundig nav100 is definitely far better than any tomtom!! Why is the tomtom so popular here anyway?? I have had nothing but problems with my tomtom… All this is going to change when this little beauty is available in the UK. Well actually you can get it now, I got mine from amazon UK for £399.99 but apparently it will be launched officially next year. You can also get it from Europe but with postage it will cost the same anyway. Ok, now my review… I love the fact that a 5 year old can use this, it's the most user friendly GPS ever, and the screen is almost like a High Definition TV!! It is so easy to see it in any lighting conditions. It's got this excellent pop arrows which I've never seen on other systems, I read some where destinator and navteq built this unique map and pop arrows just for the NAV100 and it works like...

Advantages: Not sure.
Disadvantages: Poor Styling and too much downloading required.

...I recently bought a Nav100 after reading the glowing reports from the previous reviews. I was convinced the Nav100 would be ideal. Sadly it was a let down. I travelled to a town 20 miles away and it lost the route completely. When I contacted Navteq for an up to date UK map I was informed that although they supply many makes they do not supply Nav100 directly and I would have to contact Grundig first. I did this and they told me that the current version available is 2005, so nothing more up to date than that. It also does not come with camera alerts installed unlike a lot of other units available, so you have to do it yourself, which I found an absolute pain and not very easy. It is also very bulky unlike other slimmer makes available. It also came with a 2-pin continental plug, which means you have to buy an adaptor to charge... Read review
