| Any updates on the release of the 8100 in the US? Are we looking at soon, or months away yet? |

I don't think there's any ETA for a US release ? They've been trickling out in Europe so far. Here are a few pictures to keep you waiting :
1. Shows the new "Panorama" (Terrain View) mode in action :
2. Zooming in on the 8110

gpspassion,
thanks for the screen shots. How do you like the 8110. The speaker on my 7100 just crapped out and I'll have to call Navigon tomorrow to see what it'll cost to get fixed. If it's too expensive, I'll probably buy another unit, but I'm trying to figure out if I want to wait for the 8100 to be released in the US (if it ever is) or go the 2100 max route.

| It's certainly got "something", the 3D maps are hard to give up once you're used to them. In Europe it has the problem of not being compatible with POI-Warner, which means no adding of custom POIs, speedcams in particular, a huge handicap compared to TomTom or Garmin units where that feature is built-in. The VR (voice recognition) is very inferior to one on the nüvi 8x0. |

| At long last, wonder what software they'll put on it though since the new x2xx models are one generation ahead really a bit as if Garmin had released the 860 after the 765. Not too much of a problem in the US since there are no additional features, but in Europe the 72xx has the "curve warner" not available on the higher-end 8100 model. |

| After following the thread regarding the 7200T, it seems the biggest perceived problem is the POI being limited and a poor search option. Does anyone know if the 8100T will be better? Is the European 8110T better? |

| So let me ask you this...All things considered, in the U.S. is this the best GPS for $500 (TigerGPS.com)? I realize that there probably isn't a perfect GPS out there, but for $500 is this the way to go? I currently have a Garmin Nuvi 350 which is 1+ years old. Worth the upgrade? |

The 8100T is now being listed on Amazon.com for pre-order @ $599.99:

Also, here is a cool youtube video from Navigon:

I really can't tell what market the video is for, because they are driving on the RHS of the road, but refer to the screen size as 4,8" (instead of 4.8")

According to Navigon site, says first shipment will be out on November 25. Returning a 7200T for the 8100T. Want the 3D map rendering and larger screen.
Dell currently has 20% off selected GPS + 5% coupon: 7HX?24JKGXF1TJ making it $456 + tax.
Just ordered mine and estimate ship date is December 3.
Does Navigon have a hard case for this device out? |
