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?

Dude Chicago. Whats in Rockford?

[Jonathan @ 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.

[Lowest Ranked @ Oct 8th 2008 2:04PM]

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

I have had 2 naviagons both worked very well

[Lowest Ranked @ Oct 8th 2008 2:05PM]

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

[Jon Nelson @ Oct 8th 2008 3:58PM]

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

[Zane @ 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?

[Fisher @ 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.

[Brent @ Oct 8th 2008 2:02PM]

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

Born in Chicago. Lived in Rockford.

Go to Chicago!

[Blackstar @ 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.

[spudgun07 @ 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 @ Oct 9th 2008 12:31PM]

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