"Gtreat unit but Routing is bad"
Pros: Free Traffic
Cons: Routing stinks
Summary: I tested the 2100 along with a Magellan 2000 and the magellan stayed on the proper course while the navigon 2100 made me get off main roads, take little side streets and then get back on the main road about 10 minutes out of the way. Also, on a trip starting from my house, there is a very quick and direct way to the expressway. My Megellan gets me there almost exactly the way I would drive. The navigon didnt and I had to go into the turn-by-turn directions and put a RED X in some of the directions I didnt want... Only then did it figure out the way I wanted to go.. Well.... it started to but then wanted to take me another way. the Magellan was dead on with the directions...
I really wanted to like this unit but I think the Magellan wins for the routing it takes you on which is dead on correct...Updated
I did some more testing today of the 2100.. I, again had it side by side with my magellan 2000 and the navigon provided BETTER routes about 95% of the time. Sometimes the megellan had me going in places I wouldnt go and the navigon had a straight route. about 5% of the time the magellan was better. Even though I have though about returning it, I am beginning to like it. I see most GPS units have quirky ways of routing and none are perfect... especially in this price range... and the POI display while not having everything is greay to see as far as actually seeing the name if the place and not just a symbol..
