Don’t Lose Your Way With A Navigon 2100T Portable GPS
Posted in GPS by Erwin Furly on January 21st, 2009 I was shocked when my father phoned our home to say that he did not know where he was. And then I got concerned right away and started to panic. I was scared he was going senile! My goodness he used to be a taxi drive, this was not happening. And I started to ask him a bunch of questions quickly and with concern. Ok, tell me what exactly are you near? Is there anyone around that you can see that might be able to help you, how about any restaurants or street signs? Did you cut off the car? Oh my!
It was a complete surprise and relief when he said, “Rabbit, there are some new streets on this side of town and I’m not sure where my turn to get to the range is. What, did you think your old man was getting old?” Well, yeah I did, but I was relieved to know he was still capable of being in his right mind.
When I got time, I searched different places in search of a GPS for my dad. It must have been a simple process, because after he pulled over and got out of his car, he looked up our numbers in his black book to use his pre-programmed mobile phone. He would still have his old humongous phone, if I hadn’t shown him different.
Well after two thousand questions to over a dozen clerks, and store attendants, I finally found the Navigon 2100T portable GPS. I thought the portable feature was really great in the sense that he could put it in either the car or the truck. It’s also not big and bulky like the Cobra GPSM 2500, or too small like the Magellan Roadmate. I mean come on, he does wear bifocals!
Another feature I really like was the 3 D images that are offered on the Navigon 2100T portable GPS. I was unable to locate this on any of the other models I observed. You know what it does that I find amusing, it gives a very realistic look to the roads. This will make my dada attempts at navigation a lot easier.
Each one includes “test to speech” technology. It is a great feature! In the past, GPS systems might tell you to turn left after you are down the road 15 miles. This small but fascinating machine will even inform you to make a left at “Carlisle Street.” My father is aware of streets. Its not more than 15 miles. He would not even dream of pushing the little button that allows you to see how far you have gone in the car. Once you have made your turn onto the wrong road, it takes about five minutes until you realize you wanted the next left. This is not the case with the Navigon 2100T portable GPS system.
If you want to get traffic control a nice feature to upgrade to is the replaceable SD card. If you get caught up in traffic, you can find another route to your destination.
Not to mention, the price wasn’t bad at all. I finally caved in on Amazon and got two for a little over $300. Well, I had to have one too. In less than a month, my dad had out done me and was showing me how to use my Navigon 2100T portable GPS.
