Avoid Losing Your Way With A Navigon 2100T Portable GPS

I couldn’t believe the day that my dad called the house to tell me he was lost. Of course I immediately got worried and began to panic. My first thought was “oh my God he’s got Alzheimer’s or something worse!” He was a taxi driver for Pete’s sake, so this couldn’t be happening. So, I began asking him a series of rapid, and decisive questions. What’s near you, can you see any restaurants, is there anyone around that can help you, are there street signs, did you cut off the car? Arrgghh!

Be honest, what were you thinking when your old man said he was not sure where his turn was to get to the range, that he was getting old? I only ask because your face showed such surprise as well as some relief when he said “Rabbit, it’s because there are some new streets on this side of town. Of course, but it was good to know he still had a sharp mind.

So the next chance I got, I went to several stores looking for a GPS system that my pop could use. It had to be easy because let’s face it, he pulls over, gets out of the car and looks up our phone numbers in his hand written address book to use his ‘programmed by me’ cell phone. I’m sure if it weren’t for me he’d still be carrying around that prehistoric 20 lb bag phone.

After several questions I found the Navigon 2100T portable GPS. In a sense what makes the portable feature really awesome is that it can be put in either the car or the truck. Too small like the Magellan Roadmate,or it’s also not big and bulky like the Cobra GPSM 2500. Whatever, he wears bifocals.

The other neat feature I liked was the 3 D images that Navigon 2100T portable GPS offers. I didn’t find this on any of the other models I looked at. It gives a very realistic look to the roads that will make my dad’s navigation attempts a lot easier.

It also comes with “test to speech” technology. Wow what a great little feature. I’ve heard GPS systems in the past that tell you turn left 15 miles down the road. This neat little machine tells you to turn left at “Carlisle Street.” My dad knows streets. Guesstimating 15 miles is a stretch. He’s too proud to touch the little button that measures your distance on the car. By the time you’ve turned down the wrong road, you’re five minutes into it before you realize it was the next left. But not with the Navigon 2100T portable GPS system.

If you want to get traffic control a nice feature to upgrade to is the replaceable SD card. If you get caught up in traffic, you can find another route to your destination.

Not to mention, the price wasn’t bad at all. I finally caved in on Amazon and got two for a little over $300. Well, I had to have one too. In less than a month, my dad had out done me and was showing me how to use my Navigon 2100T portable GPS.
