So, finally got a GPS for the car over the weekend.  The local (within a 1.5 hour driving radius) Office Max is going out of business and had their GPS units 30% off.  So, picked up a Navigon 2100 for cheaper than the black friday ads.

Not going to review it, it has been out a while and others have done better reviews anyway.  But I am inpressed by three things: Navteq maps (Huge plus, and the reason I got this brand).  Voice directions, tell you what road you will turn onto (instead of “Right 500 yards”).  And route recaculation, I was expecting it to go “Off Route” when I picked a new way to go.  But it just recaculated my route and displayed it within a few seconds of turning.

For a low end unit, it is doing everything I wanted.. with no fluff features.
