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  ).
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!  |
... I just assumed you had the unit connected. It should work fine then 
No problem.. nice to be of use
I'm just wondering when a new map is going to come as one must be due soon?

Me?  Connect the unit?  I'm not THAT bright!!  I rely on a manual for the difficult decisions (and Fresh doesn't seem to have one).
I see from the Sync manual (that has got one) that Contact input is assumed from MS Outlook. As I'm too mean so don't have Office, I guess I'm going to have to work out some compatible alternative (if there is one).
Be interesting to see when the new maps do come out.

I just got an answer that the site was designed for MIE 7, which I find ridiculous. A cross browser/cross platform site is a must these days.
Anyway, I've seen that it works now under FF3 (without IETab)

Btw I've reporter to navigon that My Navigon doesn't work anymore |
Are you using Firefox 3 ? Seems strange that 'my Navigon' stopped working for me when updating to Firefox 3 yet works fine in IE.
I think it's a bug in the final release of Firefox as other websites are acting up with Firefox 3 too 
So far I want to roll Firebox back to the last beta release as that worked better. |

Unfortunately that is true of a lot of sites. The world is Microsoft driven .
I hate the number of banking sites which only work with IE.
Anyway bit off topic now so I'll stop before I start my anti Microsoft rant.... funny seeing as I work in IT and support MS stuff all the time.

Still not heard anything... however on the German forums there is talk of an Internal Beta of POIWarner, but that is unconfirmed and could be translation errors.
The 2110 Max is on version 7.0.9 release so I'd expect the 8110 to be getting another software update soon to match? No idea what maybe in the update.

I've contacted Navigon again - to pay £350+ for a sat nav and not have the ability to use custom POIs is ridiculous. This is a serious drawback in comparison with their competitors.
If they don't sort this out soon I will have to go back to a TomTom or Garmin.
I am apart from this issue very happy with the Navigon unit, so it would be a shame if I have to resort to this :-(

Just downloaded the update too, reading on the German forums there is no new functions with the update and rumour is it's getting ready for the freshmap update?
Still miss the POI import.... I do hope Navigon get this sorted... I wonder if they are developing their own, instead of using Poi Warner?

Am going to contact Navigating.de to see what is happening. They are the people behind the PoiWarner software so Navigon maybe correct that they are not developing Custom POI's as they have have.
All previous models have used the PoiWarner software.
After digging around on the site I found this URL for contacting them http://www.navigating.de/cms/index.php?id=3302&p=execmsu/support_967/&PHPSESSID=e361a6d257018da78561f73dec22e9d1
I know people on the german forums are also waiting for custom POI so we are not alone in wanting the feature, Navigating.de can't deny that there isn't enough demand to develop a v7 compatible version.
All good things come to those who wait The unit has only been out for less than 2 months so barely time for Navigating.de to start testing software for the v7 devices.

Hey John - yournav.com just did a review of the 8110 - do you generally agree with their findings? it is a pity if they are right in finding onboard sound reproduction poor - although i guess the aux-out can fix that.
I think they really like the device other than bluetooth foibles, the speakers and it's tardiness in deciding a recalculation is necessary.....oh yeah, and the lack of custom POIs.
Only the negative speaker comment is really major (and POIs i guess). |

Not read the review fully as it's far too early in the morning.
Not sure what the mean about the speaker as I have always found it nice and clear as TTS in it's very nature is never going to sound as natural as as pre-recorded messages (maybe eventually). Can't tell a difference myself but the German forums talk that the latest software update changed the pitch and tone of the voice and it sounds more gruff but that could be just the German voices.
Lack of POI is missed and at the moment Navigon seem to change there mind as the latest responce I got said it's not possible 'at the moment' yet someone else got a reply saying they don't plan to add it. I do think Navigon must see the number of people complaining about this and can't possibly not get it sorted.
Overall they do seem to like the device, be nice if they mentioned if they had updated the software as many BT issues were fixed with software updates.
Some people may see the software updates as a negative thing, but I find it re-assuring that bugs 'are' being fixed and not going ignored like so many other GPS units I have owned in the past.
Navman never fixed issues with any of the units I had (some were major like postcode location being miles in the wrong direction to where you wanted)

Just read the review in a bit more detail and see that they did update the software
Shame they seemed to overlook reviewing the Voice Recognition 
If anyone is still undecided about the 8110, Navigon have annouced 2 new models which will sit between the 2110 Max and the 8110 as mid range models. I think they are a 2150 and a 7210 (rumour has it they will have 3D Landmark mapping)
