The good: The entry-level Navigon 2100 features a sleek, compact design and has an affordable price tag that includes text-to-speech functionality. The unit has an integrated traffic receiver, so you have the option of adding traffic updates at a later time.
The bad: The system is sluggish, and route recalculations weren't efficient. The user interface isn't as intuitive as that of the competition and can be especially confusing for first-time buyers.
The bottom line: Though the affordable price tag and text-to-speech functionality are nice, the Navigon 2100's sluggish performance and roundabout route recalculations are a turnoff; you can get a better entry-level portable navigation device in the Mio C230.
