Last November, we looked at the Navigon 2100 portable navigation device, and while we were impressed by the feature set and affordable price tag, its sluggish performance ultimately left a bad taste in our mouths.

However, we wiped the slate clean as we tested the Navigon 2100 Max, a slightly revamped and beefed up version of the 2100. In short, we liked the enhanced features, including the larger 4.3-inch touch screen and advanced lane guidance. Plus, the in-car GPS is a good value at $299. However, it still suffers from slightly sluggish performance and a kludgey user interface that can't quite compete with the likes of Garmin and TomTom.

by Texan62 November 2, 2008 2:13 PM PST: I have had the Navigon 21 for going on one year now. My wife and I drive a truck all over the U.S. This GPS works very well for our traveling. HOWEVER, what I have had a problem with is with the Navigon customer service. I had received an e-mail from Navigon with a 50% off on line order coupon on their lifetime traffic. I submitted the order with the 50% off code. My credit card was charged the entire amount. I called them about it and was told that since it was their first day of doing the half off sale, that there had been a glitch in their system. I would be refunded the other $50.00 within 2 to 3 business days. That was on Sep. 19, 2008. Since then I have called the Navigon service center MANY times and have been promised reimbursement withing 2 to 3 business days. Today is Nov. 2, 2008 and I still don't have my $50.00. I would recommed the Navigon 2100 for it's features. But I WOULD NOT recommend trying to get any kind of service after the purchase from Navigon.
