Navigon today announced the new Navigon 2000S. Navigon 2000S seems like a mid-range GPS navigation system with the price of an entry level system. It will cost $199 and will have a 3.5″ screen when it hits the stores in October. It features the Reality View Pro which talked about before when covering Navigon 7200T. Reality View Pro is very helpful at complicated highway intersections with its 3D view that even include actual road signs. There’s also the Lane Assistance Pro which can tell you which lane to merge to.
Other features include ‘fast destination entry’ which really should be standard these days on a device with a mini virtual keyboard. This is the feature that grays out keys that can’t be in an address. Text-to-speech is also a very nice feature you can find on Navigon 2000S.
