Navigon's 5100 max slips into FCC database

Details are understandably scarce at the moment, but Navigon is apparently taking its 1+ year old 5100 navigation unit to the max. The predictably titled 5100 max has reportedly just seen its way into the FCC's lair, and we're told that it'll feature a 4.3-inch display, Bluetooth, text-to-speech and lifetime traffic / Zagat ratings. As for price and availability? We'll have to wait for the official word from Navigon on those bits. In the meanwhile... Rockford or Chicago?

[Joshs Red Pants Posted Oct 8th 2008 1:24PM]

I spent a week there one afternoon.

The sock monkey was invented in Rockford. The 1989 Batmobile's turbine engine dealy was made in Rockford. There's also a couple of minor league teams there that about 3 people go to see.

"slips into database?" sounds like nerd foreplay.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2008 2:04PM]

That would be a nerd's all-the-way.

I have had 2 naviagons both worked very well

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2008 2:05PM]

Two GPS's? That doesn't say much about your navigational skills.

[Onashi608 Posted Oct 8th 2008 3:58PM]

Or your ability to keep nice things in good working order.

[Inzain Posted Oct 8th 2008 4:43PM]

So what happened to your "NaviAgons"? Threw 'em out of the window as soon as they unanimously told you to take a u-turn on the interstate?

[Fisher61987 Posted Oct 8th 2008 1:51PM]

I lived in Rockford for 20 years and can tell you from experience there is nothing there. Not just nothing, but ~+[({=N.O.T.H.I.N.G.=})]+~

"are you serious? spam has made its way into the engadget comments? this is redickalus"

lolololol... where have you been? The 'redickalus' part is that it's in a different language, making it even less likely (if that was possible) that anyone would actually click on it.

[brentos Posted Oct 8th 2008 2:02PM]

Cheap Trick are from Rockford. That's about it.

Born in Chicago. Lived in Rockford.

Go to Chicago!

[Blackstar Posted Oct 8th 2008 4:34PM]

Well Chicago means "Stinky River" in Native American so, Rockford obviously. And because they have the Rockford Files.

Ginger Lynn was from Rockford, IL - went to Hollywood... The rest is history.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2008 5:59PM]

I was born and raised in Rockford... My Dad still lives there. Sometimes I think about moving back there. Then I remember that I'm at least 55 years from retiring. I think I'll wait.

I did see Cheap Trick in Rockford once...

It's no Chicago.

You have incredibly accurate grammar and spelling for a 10 year old.

[burnhamish Posted Oct 9th 2008 12:31PM]

I'm 42 and I feel I still have 55 years before I can retire!

[burnhamish Posted Oct 9th 2008 12:32PM]

Joan Allen is from Rochelle, which is just south of Rockford.
