GPS gets really sexy with NAVIGON 8100T
Posted by: Ragart on Nov 10 2008 - 48 views 
GPS is another one of those tech categories where I’m about as knowledgeable as a blogger who doesn’t know much about GPS. Uhh, yeah. Anyway, my lack of a GPS and car navigating background doesn’t hinder my ability to appreciate shiny. The high-res shots of maps are pretty awesome. A lot of GPS units look alike to me, but this UI looks positively usable and lovable. It’s apparently their first system to use a 3D map via NASA terrain data – resulting in the wicked cool map you see below:
The unit will retail for $599 this November on online retailers.
Check out the full press release after the jump.

New NAVIGON 2200t GPS Navigator
Posted by: Ragart on Sep 03 2008 - 54 views
Yeah, I know there are about a Brazillion ways to navigate the roads – but how about navigating the roads with free, live traffic updates? Yeah, do you like that? Navigon hopes you do!
The new NAVIGON 2200t retails for $229 and helps you out by showing a real-time traffic view of the area you’re driving through. No more getting stuck in a jam. This feature is ready right out of the box (although you should probably put it in your car first – unless you open it there), and there’s no need for a subscription or a sign-up. The feature lasts for the lifetime of the product. Just set it up and evade traffic like the sly, super driver you were meant to be.
Other features include stuff you’ve heard about before: turn-by-turn instructions over voice, fewest clicks to a final destination, and favourite locations as Points of Interest on the map. So if you’re looking for a new GPS unit, but don’t wanna be tethered to a subscription for traffic updates, you might just wanna take a look at the 2200t.
For the rest of the details, hope over to the Navigon site.

Navigon Announces the 7200T Premium GPS Device
Posted by: dgoldring on Aug 26 2008 - 21 views 
I have written quite a bit about the Navigon line of GPS devices. I’ve been extremely impressed by the offerings in the past. This latest entry, however, has the potential to complete blow me away. In addition to all of the fantastic features Navigon has offered in the past, they are now introducing Landmark View.
Landmark View3 joins Reality View as part of the unique 3-D interface that Navigon GPS devices have always offered. Landmark View will display hundreds of richly-textured 3D landmarks across the U.S. and Canada like the Empire State Building and the White House.
The new Navigon 7200T is expected to be available in the United States and Canada in October 2008. It will retail for $449.
