Improvements in almost all areas - compared with Navigon 7110 - Sofware still problematic, even after update

NAVIGON 70 Plus Navigation System (12.7cm (5 inch) display, Europe 43, TMC, proximity sensor, Active Lane Assistant, Reality View Pro, TTS) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Had been the Navigon 7110, and except for a few misfires software (crashes) did his service outstanding. Therefore, I prefer this device times here for comparison.

Display: is now larger, Reflects nor, no sun can still radiate it directly. Clear. However, it has in my opinion a higher resolution, you have much more space for the addresses and the text is again nice and sharp. The map view is now somewhat different, the colors have changed slightly, but neither the previous nor detrimental. In night mode, but I find it a little lighter than the old one device - used to, but not annoying. Day-Night mode now runs the way at the request automatically. Just like in real life ;-)

Touchscreen and input: The touch screen is much more accurate and fixed, but something hakelig is pushing the map in 2D mode. When entering the addresses only possible characters are displayed grayed out the other. Affordable if you like dyslexics now and then typing the letters reversed. Disturbing during fast typing but is that all possible destinations are displayed at once, namely when they fit on one page. This is typed in advance of what, what you do not want and will have to start from scratch.

Menu navigation: intuitive part, but otherwise easy to learn. Points that I was already absurd was flown, eg if you drive fast or slow car. For this, the device will now be able to analyze the driving style - let's see.

Navigation: From the target accuracy has apparently not changed: 90% find it right, otherwise it slips up in advance to a two blocks. Depends precisely on the maps. Ways that can not be driven again be displayed accordingly, but this time apparently in gray, no longer in red (keyword field and forest paths). The aids such as road layout and lane departure warning are as usual perfect. Very well done is the proximity sensor. Not necessarily because of the function happened to you that it is not responding, but is great that he freely admits the display and only the most necessary as leaves. However, he reacts not only in approximations, also in potholes he has ever brought back to me the ads. Despite reduced radius.
Addendum: Meanwhile, I've switched to Berühung, too often he has brought on his own initiative to the main menu. Now I just have to time -Blindflug-touch screen option to eight hands, the buttons come.

Voice: A point of much better liked in 7110. The new voice is still feminine but comes quite bossy therefore. Comparisons with a dominatrix are not accidental. It is the most important function, warning if you drive too fast, comes not a pretty friendly but defining "respect" but an almost Militärtonartiges "Attention!". well, however, at the request she says in which road are we to go. For my taste, the good thing but too quiet while listening to music. OK, this is now all a matter of taste, but fortunately not a man babbles.
Addendum: Meanwhile, I have well used to it, if you take no longer has the sound of the old voice in his head, no longer noticed it the "imperious" difference ;-)

Featured Ads: How far can you look back height, speed and compass display. Speed ​​and altitude are fortunately higher and no longer be delivered, and thus much easier to read, the compass, however, is still on the small side, with white background has the wrong color and can not be read during the trip easily. Most will not need it, but for those who want it but annoying.

Bracket: Best innovation. Who had this design crap thing from 7110, has found its revelation. Easily accessible suction cup lever, lightweight and adjustable in all directions joint, no unnecessary parts and especially anything with a screwdriver accessible. Navi can be removed with a handle.

Unit size: Compared with the 7110er it is a little wider, as high and even narrower. This was, in spite of a larger screen, accomplished by a much narrower frame. My fear to get a Riesennavi therefore did not come true. By the way it looks so much better, also because of the aluminum elements.

Satellite TV: Is just as well as in the 7110. Almost immediately after tunnels he is back. I had even in my apartment (attic) reception. Only after complete restart of the software, it takes a little longer, but as it were in my old device already max. 3Minuten. Indicated by Navigon are (cautious) maximum 20 minutes ... Of course strongly dependent territory.

Other: be supplied USB cable, a Quick Start Guide with saving code for FreshMaps (30 instead of 90), The fensterhalteung and a car charger. There is no longer the adhesive base for the dashboard (used to Someone?) And a home charger. For me very bearable. Also no longer there CD, at times of DSL actually no absurdity. For ISDN-ridden (still belong to myself), the software has about 30MB. Handbook are available for download, 1.5 MB, explains everything very well. Also no longer there: Bluetooth. the gibts only the premium device. And hopefully not a nuisance: It is no longer Stilus. This pen I needed about every 5000km for a reset, hope that this is no longer necessary, otherwise soon heard a paper clip to the basic equipment of my car. The TMC antenna is also Nervigr passe - which is now integrated into the charger cable. When you switch it can now 5seconds time to choose between Standbay (Standard) and off. Stanardmäßig switches the device in 30 seconds in standby when no power is connected the, but you can abort.

Addendum Software Crash: I now had my first crash. There was at one time the Start screen and otherwise he did nothing more. Very good: Have only the standby button is pressed and the software rebooted. A press the reset button was not necessary.

All in all I am very satisfied, as the only negative point I see something unfreundlichere voice. 5 Stars.

Small tip yet, do not start the unit in the offered demo mode when that switches to real operation allowed to do all the settings and address inputs again ...

-NACHTRAG July 26: Crashes
Had now already had 3 crashes. Two of them simply ran resolve with the on / off button, at the third I had to shake a little. Here the picture was frozen and nothing was more. So taken paperclip, press reset button - also nix. Only press the reset button and on / off switch at the same time moving the Navi to-awaited reboot. Based on other reports here with the software issues can be assumed that this is not an isolated case. Therefore, I draw from a star from my rating because stable happens unfortunately something else ...

-NACHTRAG September 10th: TMC
Meanwhile, I have found that TMC has no really good reception. Original route A9 I'm almost in Munich, before he receives the first reports. Cable goes down in passenger footwell and then into the cigarette lighter. I now experimenting with other location, so cable directly under the windshield.

-NACHTRAG September 28: TMC2
In fact, the TMC reception is significantly better when the cable is located on the dashboard. However, I still think that it should go better. But at least he now takes traffic reports I did before on the A9 am, which is a huge improvement. Actually sounds logical that the antenna has better reception, the higher it is, however, the concept of antenna Navigon is then ill-conceived, because actually all cars have a cigarette lighter in the center console, not on the roof.

-NACHTRAG January 13:
In winter, find the word "freeze" time actually use the hardware. For me, the Navi is always in the car, the risk of theft is in the dump where everyone knows everyone else at 0%. In the harsh winter days with many minus degrees turning duaert long to very long, from 1 to 5 minutes. Here, the screen remains white until it finally starts. Hence my recommendation: At very low temperatures below -5 ° without ca garage Navi rausnehmen.
Furthermore, the Navi was now abroad in use and was doing without problems his ministry. In the deepest Toscana there alleridngs some roads that exestieren nciht on the map. But that's known not ungewöhnloich in Gegened. Of the dozens of stationary speed cameras on the route (via Brenner) he did not know, only one device.
Congestion avoidance also worked very well, began at the way home in early December, the big winter chaos, the device informed me very zesty disturbances on the track and recommendations. Not every message the device suggested a course correction.
However, software crashes are still an issue. On vacation the unit worked flawlessly, daüfr I had last week on one day two crashes. Then leaves but a certain sense of insecurity, especially if the Geräft (Software Technical) freezes, you do not notice that on the highway yes immediately. But so far could be solved almost all crashes without fummlige reset Press.

-NACHTRAG September 30:
The device does still good services. After the last update the crash problem has been at least mitigated: it is now no longer a freeze but tells you that he has crashed degrees and start the software again after 5 seconds. So it can not happen that you will notice even net that your helpers and he goes on strike plate.
Theme update, following the update were gone for all goals and starting points. Toll! After a long research on the internet I found the solution, where you have to change the destination of the goals in a config file of the device. Very customer-friendly is not. The solution also not even found himself at Navigon itself but at a Navi fanpage. After all, but the address is actually stored on backup, thought at first that would have gone. Somehow tragic when you have to praise a backup because it does what you expect. But OK, with Navigon everyone knows now that it is not so software support risch technically the best ...
