Abstract: Short Version: We take a close look at four NAVIGON GPS units that are overpriced but still capable PND. Click on for a review of the 2000S, 2200T, 7200T and 8100T personal navigation devices. Overview Judging by these NAVIGON units, the company is a b...

Abstract: We previously covered the announcement of the NAVIGON 8100T, and earlier this week we had a chance for some hands-on time. First off, the NAVIGON 8100T is HUGE–in a good way. It sports an extra-wide 4.8″ display, and it’s something you have to see to f...
Abstract: GPS navigation units, once an elite accessory for drivers, have nearly become a commodity. It’s fairly easy to find deals for as low as $99, usually on discontinued or off-brand models. I’ve used a fair number of those entry-level models, and while th...
