We had a respectable hunch that Navigon’s 5100 max would be hitting US shelves in short order, but we weren’t aware that it’d be launching alongside a friend. As for the 5100 max, you’ll find a 4.3-inch touchscreen, Reality View Pro / Lane Assistant Pro technology, handsfree Bluetooth support, text-to-speech, an Exit Guide […]
