Navigon 310 Maps



Thanks @meister95 Software-Upgrade for NAVIGON 3300 max, 3310 max, 4310 max at Navigon 40 Plus (6.rar archves). Only registered and activated users can see links. I had the C310x. I believe the 230 has newer maps and I returned my 310 before I received an update. Though both the Mio 230 and Navigon 2100 has too few POIs. FYI you may be able to slightly speed up the UI/touchscreen on the Navigon by turning off animations.

I got a note from a NAVIGON rep this morning and they wanted me to pass along the following info:
[...] it seems some folks believe that in order to use FreshMaps you need a 4 GB card and that this won’t work with the factory unit. I have checked with the NAVIGON product team and this is not the case, the accessory will work with all of the NAVIGON products, it doesn’t require a 4 GB card.

  • 'it seems some folks believe' - I just rewrote what I had heard from Polish Navigon :) If my source is not telling me 100% truth, maybe the other one would be able to say about the differences between Polish and American 2100max's RAM capacity? (US 512MB and Polish 64MB)? :wink:
  • US maps and software (6.5.0; 6.5.1, and 6.5.2a) with latest maps are less than 2gb. European maps are 2.06 gb before the MN software.
    You need a 4 GB card for full Europe updates (manual or fresh). You do not need more than 2GB for the North American map sets.

    Very-hyper-giga-mega superb answer! Thank you very much :wink:

    I know that on the 8100T, the North America maps and MN software are 2.34GB needing a 4GB card which is what came with my unit. I checked and they are Q3 2008.
  • i gotanavigon2100.i want to update with map fresh but i dont have the product key. how do i get a new key or go around it something.without having to pay for it

    If this is a riddle the answer is 'ask a friend pay for it'. :roll:
  • I just downloaded the 3rd Quarter 2009 maps for the U.S. and Canada, and it (and the software) all barely fit onto the 2-gig card that came with my 7100 unit, with 30.5 MB of free space left over. I'm going to delete the maps for Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to free up some space and give it room to breathe.
  • That's interesting because my Q3 update still doesn't have map info for Hawaii. Are you sure it's there for you delete??---because I would have loved to add it.
  • My Q3_2009 update has Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada. Have you checked by choosing a New Destination, Pick the state of HI or AK or a Canadian Providence with the state Tab and if it shows up then you have them.... or confirm you don't.
  • Confirm no Hawaii. What model Navigon do you have? I have the 2200T. Before pulling up stakes, they had promised to have Hawaii for me. But my daughter's wedding in Maui came and went last week with me using Tom Tom on my HP PDA for GPS navigation. It worked for the most part, but I was hoping my Navigon would've been good to go.
  • I have a 7200 so I get all the maps. Most low end units from most companies only have the lower 48 states.
  • this information is no longer good, the new Q1 2010 maps for the US48 are telling me that my SD card is too small, its the 2gb stock model
  • i have tried and tried each and every way that has been suggested to me in these forums and i cannot update to Q1 2010 with the stock 2 gig card on my 2100 max. I hope someone comes up with a fix or is it true, that i need to get 4 gig card?
  • As cheap as a 4GB card is these days I would certainly give it a try.
  • You have to have a 4gb card for the latest Q1-2010 update, it is just a bit larger than the Original Card that came with the unit, or your download did not install properly. I agree the 4gb card is cheap. I had the same problem and upgraded the card and it works fine and I checked the size of the download it was like 2.12gb and would not have worked with the Original card.
  • I just did the update through Fresh and used the required 4GB card, borrowed from digital camera. It seems you need a 4GB card to perform the update but new maps easily fit on the original 2GB card. Just perform the update, copy and paste the new files to your computer's disk, then copy and paste them back to original 2GB card. The updated files are only 1.40GB according to properties in Windows Explorer.
    With that said, I only have the lower 48 and no Zagat...
  • Like spyder63 said 4gb cards are cheap at any store,even Wal-mart, your
    better off to get it over with raether that all that goofing around. What are going to do when the next update comes. Enough said, buy the 4gb card and be done with it. That next update should be coming out in August.
  • hi - i'm unable to install the 2010 Q1 update on my 8100T using a new 4G SD card. after installing the update on the new card, i keep getting a 'Fatal Error' message.
    Navigon responded to one of my emails, instructing me to perform a hard reset. I did that but still get the error.
    Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is, and how to correct it?
    the original card with the older maps still works. i'd prefer however to update to the newest maps.
    any help appreciated.
    many thanks.
  • I managed to install the complete maps of Europe having only the standard 1GB SD Card in my Navigon 4350Max Europe.
    The first time I tried to update the maps, it told me I could not install all of it because it would not fit. Then I deselected a couple of countries. But after the installation was finished I noticed I had a lot of free space available. It seemed that the maps were installed on the SD card as well as on the internal storage. Then I tried a second time to install all of Europe, and it worked! No extra cards required!
  • is there any way i can get the latest north american maps for my navigon 7100?

Navigon 7100

Navigon GmbH is a Würzburg, Germany-based manufacturer of GPS devices and GPS navigation software. The company was privately owned, until in June 2011, it was announced that Navigon was to be acquired by Garmin and become a subsidiary of the company.[1] With effect from October 31, 2011, Navigon has changed its legal entity from corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) to GmbH.[2]

Navigon's products included Navigon branded personal navigation devices as well as OEM software for the navigation, wireless, and automotive sectors. Navigon had offices in Asia, Europe, and North America, and employed more than 400 people.[3] Navigon AG was purchased and fully acquired by Garmin Ltd. in July 2011.[4]

History[edit]

Navigon was founded in 1991. In 2000, the firm launched the industry's first navigation software for the Pocket PC. With the introduction of Traffic Message Channel-based (TMC) traffic avoidance features in 2002, Navigon became the first company to offer such a feature on a consumer GPS product.

In 2004, after primarily catering to the European market, Navigon directly entered the North American market by forming a subsidiary, Navigon Inc. headquartered in Chicago, IL.[3]

In 2005, the private equity firm General Atlantic bought a minority interest in the company in order to provide capital for expansion; Peter Scheufen maintains majority ownership.[3]

In 2006, Navigon acquired Navteq's navigation software business.[3]

Navigon Europe[edit]

Navigon GmbH was the parent company of all Navigon brands. Navigon was one of the largest GPS brands in Europe and was well established there.

310

Navigon GmbH sold several models that carried similar model numbers (usually differentiated with the xx10 or xx50 in their number) to those sold in North America. Most of the devices included features and functionality similar their counterparts'.

Additionally, several older Navigon GmbH models were sold under the Transonic name in Europe. These models have since been discontinued, having been replaced by Navigon's then-current offerings.[citation needed]

Navigon Inc.[edit]

The U.S. subsidiary, Navigon Inc., was formed in March 2004, with Edgar Christen as General Manager, to adapt and market the Navigon product line in the North American market.


Navigon Inc. announced its first OEM agreement in November 2004 with EasyPocketNAV.com, a distributor for portable GPS navigation. EasyPocketNAV.com marketed and sold the OnCourse Navigator (TM) software, based on Navigon's technology platform, which turned Microsoft-powered Pocket PCs into voice guided GPS navigation systems.

In May 2006, Navigon appointed Andreas Hecht as Senior Vice President, General Manager, of the Americas, and in May 2007 as President, General Manager. He replaced Edgar Christen as General Manager and was responsible for Navigon's operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and South America. An authority in the navigation sector, Hecht was a 10-year veteran of Navteq, creators of the world's most widely used digital maps, where he served in senior executive roles in technology and business development in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America.

Navigon Inc. launched three models in the North American market in July 2007. The initial launch included the 2100 (2120 in Canada), 5100, and 7100 models. These models introduced several new features to the North American consumer GPS market including:

  • Reality View - A feature which displays computer generated static images of complex Interstate Highway interchanges
  • Lifetime Traffic - Traffic Message Channel (TMC) service similar to offerings from other companies, but for a one-time fee (or included with some higher end models)
  • Zagat Survey Ratings & Reviews
310

In April 2008, Navigon Inc. expanded their line-up with the 2100 Max (2120 Max in Canada) model. This model is functionally similar to the original 2100 but includes a larger 4.3' LCD screen (rather than 3.5') and adds the company's Direct Help functionality.

On October 13, 2008, Navigon announced that Michael Roach, former director of U.S. sales for LG Electronics, would become president of Navigon's North American operations.[5] In his role as president for the Americas, Roach lead all marketing and sales functions for the Americas. He reported directly to Egon Minar, chief sales officer at NAVIGON AG (Germany). Roach replaced Andreas Hecht.

On May 4, 2009, Navigon announced that they would cease North American sales. According to CEO Egon Minar: 'Due to the difficult economic environment and the aggressive pricing we have decided to withdraw from the PND business in North America for the time being. We are however not closing down our Chicago office which will continue to serve our automotive and mobile phone businesses in North America.'[6] Since this announcement the Chicago office has, in fact, been closed.

As of August 2009, the only consumer products Navigon offered in North America were apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 7. Visits from North American IP addresses to the www.navigon.com or www.navigonusa.com sites were redirected to a site devoted to the mobile apps, with no mention of former Navigon consumer products, even those that were brand new on the market less than a year before.

Despite discontinuing North American sales Navigon products were still supported, albeit only by e-mail with European support representatives, until sale of the company. Those individuals who owned Navigon's map update service prior to its discontinuation were still receiving map updates for their devices as of December 2009, but updating ended in 2011 with the sale of Navigon AG to Garmin Ltd.

Acquisition by Garmin[edit]

On July 26, 2011, Garmin confirmed that its acquisition of Navigon was complete. The first line of its press release stated: 'Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Navigon AG ('Navigon'), a privately held navigation provider headquartered in Würzburg, Germany.'[4] The electric car manufacturer Tesla Inc. used Navigon Garmin systems in their cars before developing their own system.[7]
