What about annual updates? Does it have Bluetooth capabilities to say link to your sked on you PDA?? Make a handsfree call??

i think they do dave except they do not recognize street names and state them... the more expensive models have text to speech, but the lower end do not...

I really like the Tom Toms... and Garmins...

ok... so here goes... i do a lot of business with staples... so when they had a sale on for the Navigon 2100... i was hmmmm let me look... sale down to 119.99... then they offered me a 20.00 coupon for 100.00+ purhases... hmmm... so i figured why not try it! I bought the 2100, online, delivered to my door the next day... no shipping charges...

I have to say it is not too bad... I figured i would give it a couple weeks and see how it works... I am still working out the bugs but i think i have gotten it... seems very accurate... if i don't like, i can send back... but for half the price of the Garmin and a third of the TomTom... i figure i could not lose.... funny thing... if i wanted the 2 year extended policy, 49.99!!!! wtf... it only cost me 99.99 for the unit!!!!
