NAVIGON 8100T

The Navigon 8100T is a well-priced, upper-end GPS receiver designed to offer an easy-to-use navigation system at a relatively affordable price. The fourth of four Navigon GPS receivers, the Navigon 8100T is an upgrade from the Navigon 7200T in that it features an extra-large 4.8” touchscreen display, not to mention several additional features. In addition, the 8100T offers an Instant Fix II (versus Instant Fix) GPS system that locks onto a GPS satellite and finds a signal in a mere matter of seconds, not to mention Voice Destination Entry so that drivers can better focus on the road by speaking addresses and directions instead of manually typing them into the system. Plus, the 8100T comes bundled with Bluetooth Hands-Free technology that helps drivers keep both hands on the wheel by essentially allowing the unit to function similar to a Bluetooth speakerphone.
