Points Of Interest To A Navigon 2100

The Navigon 2100 is a portable automotive GPS unit. The 2100 utilizes two optional services: TMC traffic and Zagat POI ratings, to keep its data current and useful. TMC traffic downloads real-time traffic information which the 2100 uses to calculate optimal routes that consider traffic jams or congestion into total drive time. Zagat's POI service provides instant ratings on points of interest stored in your GPS memory to inform you of the quality of the locations you intend to visit. The 2100 also allows you to create your own POIs that are stored in the GPS' "Favorites" folder. You can create these points by entering a new address or by saving the GPS unit's current location.
