the only thing i find with this is that it does not notify me when there is slow moving traffic ahead and reroute me
I live in an area where people use GPS devices without problems. Still claims to be looking for a signal.
DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE. An excellent paper weight but the engineers at Navigon don't seem to be able to build a device that can connect to the GPS network.Simply put.
Amazon has just delivered this GPS unit. I left it on over night.
I'm going to return it tomorrow. I've got it powered up, turned on, turned on for more than 15 minutes, and no signal.
I'm pretty sure we get decent GPS coverage here.
Recently, I wanted to update the maps, but there was no Freshmaps Activation card in the box from Amazon. 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. That still holds true.
They sent the following: 'Thank you for your inquiry. Beware of this major change, and buy accordingly. Accessories, map material and content are not available in North America through NAVIGON.
I bought my Navigon GPS (7200T) because it had the most features for the lowest price. So, I emailed Navigon support for assistance. They should now be called NaviGONE.
Very nice unit- attractive and works well, too. You need the code on that card to get updates.
It acquires satellites extremely quick and the turn by turn voice guidance are also a plus. This is a remarkable unit for the price and I'm very pleased. The Navigon 2000s is a incredible GPS for the price.
I found that it is most helpful to use the area code rather then the name of a town when you encounter this problem. I have had it for about a month and a half and would recommend it to anyone. Bottom line.
To sum it up. It is possible yet can be a pain. Hope this helps.
Some of the features such as lain assistance and reality view are awesome. The only real problem I seem to encounter is trying to get the GPS to navigate to an address that is not recognized by the unit.
It might mislead you and make to move to the left lane.Other thoughts:First one arrived broken - didn't see GPS signal. Normally - about 3 minutes.Not intuitive menu.Driving on a highway, every time if there is an exit to another route, it says "Keep to the left" (if it's a right exit), instead of saying "keep on going straight" or, simply, saying nothing at all. Amazon amazingly quick replaced it. Pros:Inexpensive, good quality, loud, good mounting holder, very helpful Lane Assistant.Cons:Slow satellite acquisition. Very first time it took about 15 minutes.
