With prices of basic standalone PNDs (Personal Navigation Devices) racing to the bottom, and increasing threats from navigation apps on mobile devices, what’s a company to do when they want to make a premium GPS device?

Does the Navigon 7200T stand out or get lost in the crowd? SlashGear decided to find out.
Navigon have announced their latest GPS device, the 8100T, which the company is calling an "uber-premium" design offering "unmatched" functionality.

Their latest PND is the 2100 Max, which is coincidentally one of the few upgradeable GPS units on the market. It also has a 4.3-inch Widescreen, Text-To-Speech functionality, lane guide assistance and speed warnings along with a fairly comprehensive list of Points of Interest; I mean there were more than a couple points listed in the little town I live in.
