CES 2009: Navigon takes routing personal
Navigon and Rand McNally have teamed up to develop some interesting new GPS features that make it easier for users to personalize their trips.
Landmark View 3D is s a $40 upgrade for Navigon's 2200T model and has the ability to display 600 North American landmark buildings in 3D to aid directions... or at least add some novelty to your nav. In keeping with the tourist theme, scenic routes and city guides will be available for $20 each. The scenic routes will feature weekend getaway suggestions, picturesque tours and regional trips. More than 1,400 cites are covered in the guides and routes can be customized to fit your interests. And for another $30 a year, Navigon owners can now be alerted to red light camera locations.
Headed overseas? Add maps of 38 European countries to your Navigon for $130. The update comes pre-loaded on an SD card and covers 4.5 million miles of road and millions of points of interest. The new features will be available for download from the Navigon Fresh software website sometime in the Spring.

I have a Navigon 2100 MAX (2008 model upgraded to 2009) and it's a great unit. Large screen, easy to use, plenty of features and lots of info on the screen. Easy to update too. The new higher end models seem to have a lot packed in! But mine at $175 (Costco) was a steal..

Cha-ching indeed.
Considering several manufacturers(if they stay in business) will be offering internet access in the near future(Chrysler already offers it), this doesn't make much sense to me. Especially since you can navigate for free using most mobile phones now like an iPhone 3G.
These portable navigation units are supposed to be a cheap alternative to factory units, but now seem like they are getting pricier because of the "extra services".

This was also announced at CES. Specialized device that warns you when you are near a red light camera or a speed camera.
