Navigon has long been a major provider of navigation software to automotive manufacturers for in-dash gps navigation devices, but only last year did they introduce portable navigation devices under their own name (learn more about Navigon). What they offer up, however, demonstrates immediately that this is a company that knows navigation inside and out. Navigon focuses features that directly empower navigation and on sleek form factors.

Features

4.3-Inch Touchscreen in an ultra-slim design
Speaks real street names via text to speech; route planning feature
DirectHelp Information that Helps You Find Emergency and Roadside Services
Lane Assistant and Reality View Features that Simplify Your Drive
Easy Add-on Services–Lifetime Traffic, FreshMaps (3 years of map updates for one low price), and Zagat Ratings for 70 metropolitan areas

This product was exacty what I needed. We were doing a lot of travelling for college reviews, and we did not know the way to any. But with Navigon we got there, it told us caution if we were speeding, it gave us eating and shopping places, schools and it got us the best route an told us exactly when we should turn and the name of the place or street or h’wy. I could not have asked for a better guide. Thanks Navigon!

This device seems to have decent sensitivity and picks up satellites fine but the log files couldn’t be read by any of the software products I tried. The device makes a *.nma file format and I’ve tried reading them with HoudahGeo, Google Maps, etc… I’m a Mac user and couldn’t find anything that could read these files. I even tried a couple of MS-DOS programs but nothing seemed to work.

In addition to the lack of developing a more common file format, the menu structure is not intuitive at all. It’s a bit of a mess getting around the menus on this device so it takes quite a while to try and make it do what you want.

The features on the device are impressive. It has a lit 2-line display menu, removal mini-SD card slot, bluetooth, USB connectivity, decent battery life on AAA, and generally seems like a nice device but since I can’t read the files it develops it’s basically useless for me…

——————
EDIT: I contacted HoudahGeo and sent them some sample *.nma log files from the device. They took a look and instructed me to open the file with a text editor, delete the first line, and then re-save the file as an *.NMEA file. Making these changes, the modded files worked perfectly with Houdah! As a result of these changes I can use the device to geotag my photos so I’ve upgraded my review from 1-Star to 4-stars (it still loses a star for having a crappy menu structure and for having to take the extra steps to make the files useable). As long as you don’t mind making the simple file changes you’ll be generally happy with this device.

I searched high and low for a product that could hold iPods and iPhones IN THEIR CASES, yet be sturdy, reliable and well designed AND ROTATE. This is it. Perfect in every regard; superbly engineered, solidly constructed, insanely easy to use – it’s as intuitive a design as an Apple product. It moves easily from one vehicle to another. The side arms adjust easily and lock into place, holding the Touch fast in a foamy grip; a simple button push releases it. bottom support arms also pivot a full 360º allowing you to accomodate any line out, and shape of product or case.
The swivel turns my Touch into gold. Can turn iPod Touch landscape, scroll through cover view, pick an album, play, turn touch upright. I can broiwse the internet in a parking lot with my hands elsewhere. I can watch music videos stuck in traffic. per. fect. shun.

I used my Garmin in the Cancun area, and the maps were very accurate. However, there wasn’t much detail for the little towns along the coast on MX307. But it had great detailed maps of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and the larger towns. So if you’re traveling in the more populated areas, it’s great. But once you turn off 307 south of Playa, there’s not much detail. It also listed accurate information for finding gas stations, hotels, etc.
I understand the former version of this map software was pretty useless, but the 2010 version proved to be useful. I’d recommend it!
