Navigon 5100 GPS, a poor choice
2 personnes sur 2 ont jugé cet avis utile. First, I must say that I needed to return the item, twice, and moved on to another manufacturer. The Navigon 5100 max was exclusively distributed by Radio Shack, and at first glance appeared to have all of the attributes of a unit costing several hundred dollars more. Radio Shack has discontinued this item. I now understand why.
The display was excellent and the 3D view was better than both the Magellan and Garmin. The lane assist was also excellent and mirrored the Garmin 1490T. Routing was also very good with clear voice instructions. Traffic assist was there, but I found it to be inconsistant. (Interestingly, the Advertising that pops up on the screen on both the Magellan 1475T and the Garmin 1490T was absent on the Navigon.) Working with the viewing and detour options while driving was difficult.
Now for the BAD. The Navigon web site is poorly constructed and receiving updates and logging on was impossible. There is NO customer support. Once I finally was able to register the second unit, I lost well over 24 hours of computer time trying to download and update the unit over several days. The Day/night display auto change over feature, which is extremely important on long rides from day to night, DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I had to wait until I could stop to manually change the screen over. (The brightness of the day time display is very distracting while driving at night.) This feature did not work on either unit, so I have to believe that it was a programing flaw and not just one unit. The BLUE TOOTH feature did not work, period. I tryed everything. It would sinc for about 5 seconds, and then loose it. I tried it on three different makes of cell phone, to see if it was a problem with the phone. But no, it is the units. Also, I understand that if it did work, you needed to resinc and program each time you got back in the car.
So in conclusion, I am now using the Magellan 1475T. I compared this unit side by side for a week against the Garmin 1490T. The Garmin was $120 more than the Magellan and had Blue Tooth that worked excellently, but the real test was routing. On known routes I regularly travel, the Magellan agreed with my normal routing and quickly adjusted when I disagreed with it, where as the Garmin took a long time to reroute and also tried to send me on some really out of the way routes through intercity (dangerous) streets instead of direct highway routes. It also changed its routing right before a turn.(I traveled this route three times, and it did the same thing each time.) At one point, in the middle of a traffic jam, the Garmin simply rebooted itself for no reason leaving me high and dry when I needed to make a rerouting choice. The Magellan also gives you three rerouting options with how much time you will save by detouring around a traffic problem. I also found the brightness of the Garmin, while extremely easy to see with a very large font, distracting at night as compared to the softer view in the Magellan. As to volume, the Garmin was much louder, however, you cannot adjust the volume from the navigation screen and insists that you come to a complete stop before "reprograming". On the Magellan, the volume display and adjustment is on the navigation screen in clear view. Overall, I spent less than $80 on the Navigon, $150 on the Magellan and $270 on the Garmin on sale. Price, as you can see is not the only deciding factor.
