I agree. wait for bug fixes
I have the 7100. sent in rebate right away so won't be returning it. But I really am disappointed in the bugs. What is frustrating is that I think all come from not changing the software for the US market.
The economies of scale in selling the euro based device in the US are fine. Good for navigon. But they seem to have only done half the work in adapting the software for over here.
EG:
-Saying it has text to speech is plan false advertising. It has half text to speech and only names major roads. This is a software buy or half written software. Text to speech is not used very much in Europe but is a key selling point in the US. The European 7100 has not text to speech and they seem to have not finished putting it in the software for here.
-Points of interest searching is lame. It is city based. You can't search well "nearby" even though the function is there. If I am somewhere and wish to find a Bestbuy, Circuit City, Radio Shack, CVS, CitiBank, Fedex or Post office I cannot find it with the 7100 properly even if I am sitting next to one!
