Many thanks for the quick reply, how long did Navigon take to deliver the unit?

Also what do you think of it now you have been using it for a while, I have tried many different programs on my vga pda but allways liked Navigon 6. I have been waiting eagerly for this device to be released,

Regards

Richard

I only had to wait about a week I think, hard to tell as I ordered mine the day they went on sale.
I do think there has been some demand, but I think people who have ordered have received them in about a week.
The UPS shipping takes about 2 days from Germany.

Really like the unit, love the size and clarity of the screen... only thing that is lacking at the moment is a way to import our own POI's Sad

I can confirm the quick delivery, at least as at the beginning of June. It took about 3/4 days, from ordering through the German site to delivery (Don't forget to use the 15% coupon!!!!!)

Hi,

I am now in two minds about whether to cancel my order. I like many of you are keen to see the Navigon 8110 have a facility for importing our own POIs.

I asked Navgion 8110 if they were working on bringing this facility to the 8110 this was the reply I received:

"Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
At this moment we are not working on a add-on in order to make it possible to use your own POI's, if this will be done in the future we can not tell you at the moment.

Yours sincerely
Ed Verpoort

I didn't get an answer to whether POI Warner will be able to support the product from Navigon ie is an API available for 3rd Parties to use. It seems a great device and I really want to like it but I had hoped that custom poi support in one form or another was not too long in the offing. However information from POI-Warner and now Navigon seems concerning to say the least.

As currently my order is 2-3 weeks from delivery I will think about it some more. However I have to admit my current thinking is to cancel and then watch this space.

A quickie please. I haven't found any mention of an instant 'on request' detour option, with/without length of detour option, as on nuvi, viamichelin. Only options I can find are blocking turns and diverting on traffic trouble info, but I hit a BIG M25 jam without any warning yesterday - as I was using the VM, I put in a 20km divert which worked an absolute treat. Anyone come across any such detour function yet on the 8110?

Thanks jonandmarkuk.

I've been trying to register the device and am being sent round in circles between Fresh and the website page for MyNavigon. Did you manage to register? If not does it matter (everything on my 8110 got backed up, updated and rebooted ok)?

I would suggest to contact support if you can't register.
Btw I've reporter to navigon that My Navigon doesn't work anymore

You can always try the IEtab plugin

Just seen a overview review comparing the 8110 to the TT930.

In the 8110 and TT930 score the same 455 out of 500 points, but in the table the 8110 is placed number 1.

The TomTom and 8110 share the number 1 slot on the chart Very Happy

Thanks again for the helpful replies on registering the 8110. I was still going round in circles and so did contact the support people. The reply I got was:

thank you for contacting Navigon.

You can registrate your device the following way:

Connect your device with your computer.

Open the programm navigon fresh, in navigon fresh click the link my navigon device (under corner at the left) and follow the instructions on your screen.

I hadn't got the unit connected when I was trying this before, so will try their suggestion as soon as I get a chance. Others who have been experiencing the problem may find the reason was the same (assuming it works Wink

).

Thanks also to jonandmarkuk re my detour question - I found this to be the 'block' option, which comes up when you touch the screen during navigation. A hell of a lot simpler than VM's tortuous multi-menu searching! Laughing
