I purchased the Navigon Mobile Navigator 5 in Germany for use in Italy. I wanted a TomTom but they were out, so I purchased Navigon. What a waste. Not user-friendly at all–have to continually refer to manual for the simplest things as it just doesn’t make sense.

Had to call customer service in the USA just to get it to work (had to transfer an executable file…why do I have to do that?) I could understand it telling me to “turn right” when there is no road–because maybe that’s what the Italian maps have told it. But no one else with different brands around here are having the same problem (TomTom and Garmin).

I will never waste my money again with Navigon.

I ordered my product over a month ago and when I received it it was broken. The screen only turned white. I sent it in for repairs, and I still have yet to get it back; therefore, I still have no idea how well this products works.

I bought my Navigon a little over a year ago. Its performance has been mixed, in line with much of the reviews here, but I’ve generally been happy with it.

However, I can unequivocally state that you should NOT buy this product. Navigon has abruptly left the North American market, leaving customers, even those who purchased a device and map updates within the year, almost completely without support. If you buy one of these, you’re buying a dead device with no hope of updates.

I bought my Navigon GPS (7200T) because it had the most features for the lowest price. That still holds true. Very nice unit- attractive and works well, too. Recently, I wanted to update the maps, but there was no Freshmaps Activation card in the box from Amazon. You need the code on that card to get updates. So, I emailed Navigon support for assistance. They sent the following:

‘Thank you for your inquiry. Accessories, map material and content are not available in North America through NAVIGON. Unfortunately we don’t have information concerning the availability of these products at other major retail shops.’

As has been noted in the posted comments, and which I discovered too late, Navigon is pulling out of the North America market. Beware of this major change, and buy accordingly. They should now be called NaviGONE.

I paid a ton $$$$ of money for the 8100T. I find it has great displays and navigation once you get the location input, but getting a point of interest and imputing the destination location is tedious, And now they have withdrawn their North American support. Scumbags!

Do not waste your money and buy one of these gps!!There is no support in the USA!

Buy a Garmin!
