Navigon 5100 GPS

[Kara1204]

OK, I could not find any RECENT talk about GPS, most threads go back to BF.

 

Does anyone have an updated opinion of the Navigon 5100? Back on BF, everyone seemed pleased with it.

 

Any clues on where the best deal might be today? I see it in the OD ad for $249 today. Seems like it was a lot cheaper last December.

 

I like the idea of the "Free lifetime update traffic subscription" Is this feature available on any other brand? Is it a good deal?

 

Any help, opinions, deal codes, rebate links, etc. would be appreciated!

To my knowledge, no it is not available anywhere else. I have a friend that has the Navigon 5100. He really likes it, but says that the traffic feature is practically useless.

 

He's driven to Philly and NYC using it and the Navigon has said indicated smooth sailing a few times during a few trips but he was left sitting in traffic jams.
