Navigon 7100: A New King of Portable Nav Emerges?

Navigon is a relatively new player in the US portable nav market, but they're coming out of the gate with a wide-open throttle and a full tank of gas. The 7100 is Navigon's flagship model, and not only does it offer all the standard features you expect in a portable navigation these days, but Navigon has thrown in a few extra unique features to sweeten the deal. An easy-to-read 4.3 inch widescreen color touchscreen offers easy access to menus, and is large enough to incorporate a good deal of map information. The 7100 also includes a lifetime subscription to Real-Time traffic, advising you of traffic flow, accidents, and alternate routes, all for free.
Navigon’s Reality View also improves the overall navigation experience by providing a 3D realistic street-level view of the road, including road signs and exits. Combine that with Navigon’s Lane Assistant technology, which instructs drivers of the optimal lane of travel for their route, as well as text-to-speech for spoken route instructions and street names, and the chances of missing an exit or next turn are slim-to-none.
