129+299=428 for the software only european maps. The previous version MN4 is being sold for 228euro for the European edition.

According to the map on their web site, Europe B covers a range of Western European countries, INCLUDING the British Isles, for 249 euros

Have I missed something?

Navigon seem to have missed the point that the Mapexport application was useful for planning and checking routes on a PC. I find planning a route on a PDA extremely tedious.

I've just read the product specs for MN5. From what I can tell you get pretty much the same interface, just with an "updated" look, a speed warning, (which will be out of date by the time you've installed the software) and standard and extended modes (wow!). I can see very little to tempt me away from MN4. What was the point of releasing software that is the same as the previous version...?

Presumably a newer set of maps are included (it doesn't actually say) So really its 129€ for new maps and no Mapexport. Seems to me Navigon are out to boost profits.

Alturian 6.1 maybe worth looking at. They have a map subscription service (seems expensive). Finding a english review is difficult but a italian and dutch reviews said its good but 6.0 was a bit slow (6.1 is faster apparently) They also have SDK (free?) that could be fun. Profession version has european maps for 259euro and 3months upgrades

this is how I read it. If you trade in anyother software but MN|4 Europe
You will get mn5 software with the map country of your trade in IE if you trade in tomtom 3 with gb maps you will get MN5 with GB maps price 129 euros. if you trade in MN4 europe you will get MN5 Europe complete with unlock codes for mapping 129 euros.
If you trade in any navigon software other than the latest MN4 you will get mn5 with single country map you have to buy the license keys for other countries onnatop.
The CD comes with the europe maps on but you can't use them unless you buy license keys just like shitty co pilot.
You can trade in MN4 and just get the mn5 with GB map for 49 euros if you don't want to pay a lot, but remember you have paid once for MN4
module,tmc, and bluetooth are all extras
It makes it a dear do. might as well but street pilot from Garmin seamless and quick

Hi to all of you,

I wonder if someone knows how good is the coverage of Greece in the new Navigon 5. I'm interesting to buy it, but I really need to know the quality of the maps before proceed to my purchase. Any tip will be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. I currently use the Destinator3 (and Destinator PN as a beta tester) software with very good maps from NGI.

Are you a current Navigon user? The threads from other users in this section appear to suggest that TMC is alive and well within the UK on Navigon.

I believe Alturion have yet to secure a deal with ITiS but would like to u/s if you're speaking from a position of "authority"?

Thx
