I have an old Garmin GPS and updates are $80/year so Navigon's price is an excellent bargain compared with what others want. The update went find without problems. The only complaint I have is the same one I have for the Garmin updates. It seems to take an average of 2 years for changes to get to a GPS (both companies use the same source Navteq). If you go to an online service that uses Navteq, you will see pretty fresh information so I think it's the process of getting the data to the GPS manufacturer and then formatting and testing the data.
Navigon Freshmaps Update [Posted on 2008-09-21]
My Navigon 7100 is invaluable to me as I travel quite extensively throughout the U.S. By taking it with me, and either using it in my personal vehicle or in a rental when having to fly, this unit with the updated Freshmaps gets me there 98% of the time. I have noticed that it does get confused occasionally and I have to make an adjustment to let it " recalculate route ". By being patient when this happens, it works out. No more gas station stops asking directions. I am amazed at how well this unit works. I will take 98% accurate anytime over getting lost at all, espeacially at two in the morning in a strange city.

Navigon FreshMaps Map Update Service [Posted on 2008-10-11]
I love my Navigon 7100 GPS. I have had it for about 9 months now and it has performed well. I purchased the FreshMaps Map Update service to keep current. I found the instruction somewhat confusing. Also the code number that had to be entered from the package was so small I had to use two magnifying glasses to read the darn thing. Give us older folks a break! The packaging was plenty big enough.
It took several attempts to get the Navigon Fresh program to install correctly. When I did get the program to install, and checked for updates it found none. I have just returned from a trip to VA, PA, and New Jersey. During this trip, there were several exit ramp instruction that were incorrect. The most notable one was my own exit here in NC. When getting off, the GPS advised turning right. If I had made a right turn it would have taken me in the opposite direction I should have traveled. It still has the old exit, which was replaced over two years ago. Yet the program said there were no available updates.
Navigon really needs to get their act together and get more current maps. Most of the errors were due to new interchange ramps and re-routing of the traffic flow.
I am going to do another (or should I say another attempt) update and see if any of these errors have been corrected. If they have not, I could not recommend purchasing this update mapping service.Navigon 7100 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator
good for price [Posted on 2008-10-15]
It seems like it will be a good deal. Price I believe is high but for 3 years worth of updates it should be worth it. Download is easy from website but takes a long time. I haven't had a chance to see if the update changed any roads or points of interest yet.

follow the instructions is that simple. just make sure you have the usb cable that connects from your pc to the navigon gps. and also navigon came up with a desktop software, so you don't have to go to the website anytime there is an update.
