Navigon Says Goodbye to the US
I have some very sad news, Navigon will no longer be selling their stand-alone GPS units in the US. I am a big fan of their devices, hardware and software both. I reviewed the 2000S two months ago. Navigon is siting the tough economic climate and the pricing wars during the holidays in the GPS market as the reason for this decision. They will still have an office in Chicago to support current customers with items such as map updates. It appears the group’s new focus will be on getting their software integrated into smartphones and other cell phones. Navigon currently has a contract with T-Mobile in Germany. With the success of the iPhone, and the Palm Pre on the horizon, convergence is definitely a popular topic. The question becomes, who’s next?

I heard a lot of good things about Navigon units, so it is sad to see them go. I know that they did not have the name recognition or retail presence like TomTom and Garmin, so I guess it is no big surprise.

I agree. I reviewed several Navigon units over the past couple of years, and they really were great GPS devices. I’ll miss them.
