"A solid B+" on by jmaas999
Pros: Price, Loaded with Features
Cons: No "Off" button
Summary: I did my homework before purchasing this and it truly is the best value for a low priced but backed with features GPS. I'm very happy with it overall. Navigation is great, recalculating is very fast, traffic works great and the POI's are pretty good. Sometimes it does take about a minute to aquire the signal when starting it up. My biggest complaint is that the system doesn't have an "off" button. It can only be in "on" mode or in "standby" mode. This standby modes is similar to a sleep mode on a computer. The problem is that it slowly drains the battery, so you can't just leave it in the glove box and pull it out once a month. Contrary to what the other reviewer wrote, you don't need to purchase an additional plug in charger b/c it charges through USB very quickly when hooked up to a computer. If it had an off button, I would give it a 5 Stars.
One other piece to note that I haven't seen anywhere else is that you need to have the car charger connected to the gps unit (doesn't have to be plugged into the car though) in order for the "real time" traffic feature to work

I would like to add to "A solid B+"
The Navigon 2100 can be turned off, although it isn't very intuitive. To turn the unit off, touch the power button, the unit goes into 'standby' mode. Quickly touch the power button again, the unit turns on.
Now HOLD the power button until the screen turns off. It takes 3 - 5 seconds. The unit is now comletely off and won't drain power, although the battery will loose voltage slowly, as will any other battery of this type.
