The Navigon 5100 sure looks nice, with a glossy black design, but there is much more to this GPS unit than good looks. In fact, the Navigon 5100 has all the features you need in a GPS device, and then some. It’s one of the best deals you’ll find because you get so much for your money.

The Navigon 5100 offers accurate directions and even gets down to the details of which lane of traffic will be the best for your trip. This kind of detail is what makes the Navigon 5100 so useful. But the best money-saving feature of the Navigon 5100 is the free traffic update receiver built-in to the device. Most other GPS devices require an extra receiver or a cell phone with Bluetooth to receive these updates, and then you still have to pay a subscription fee for the service. With the Navigon 5100, you get free traffic updates.

Experts like the interface and the text-to-speech functionality of the Navigon 5100. It makes the devices much easier to use. Consumers love the free traffic updates, but some expressed disappointment that the screen isn’t bigger.

The Navigon 5100 is proof that you don’t have to pay a lot to get great features and good service. The Navigon 5100 is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to make their excursions quicker and easier.

Yes, Apple's iPhone has flaws, mostly minor eye-brow raisers buried under the real-life responsiveness of the touch screen and seemingly psychic sensors that know how and where you're holding it. But its most impressive feat isn't technological, but human

Performance: Call volume without the headset could have been better and we were disappointed that our 3.5mm headphones wouldn't connect. However, in all other areas, the Apple iPhone excelled. It's an unbelievable device for watching videos, photos and vi

The Navigon 5100 offers drivers a number of useful navigation tools beyond basic driving directions; we just wish it had a larger screen and a slightly lower price tag.
