The Stylish Navigon 7100

The Navigon 7100 is a very impressive GPS receiver with its sleek-euro style design, it is a better way of getting around the traffic in style and it is hoped that this GPS device will stand a test of time.

It is a very helpful instrument when it comes to getting around through thick traffic especially when rushing to work and it also helps to safe considerably time during this period. The auto-route mode automatically routes around all traffic alerts. The prompt mode describes the type of congestion (e.g., accident, lane restrictions, construction, road closed, slowing) and asks if you want to avoid the traffic or ignore the alert.

The Navigon has a Lane Assistant which shows a picture of an upcoming freeway interchange and shows you the lane you need to be in to get to your destination. The Navigon has all the other features you expect in a car receiver like current speed, time of arrival, remaining distance to your destination, audio and visual turn prompts, and compass direction.

With its auto-zoom, you can determine how much of the map is shown on the screen, driving faster makes the map zoom out, so you can see where you are going. Going slower makes the map zoom in, so you can see local street names and turns.
