2.0 out of 5 stars NAV101 (Audiovox/Jensen) Good, but could be much better., June 28, 2008

The Good: It works.

The Bad: The Jensen/Audiovox NAV101 has very outdated maps. My street isn't on it, but it is on my 3 year old Destinator PN.
Support is horrible. I requested maps from other countries and was told they don't exist, yet I'm in another country and they sell the NAV101 with European maps here.
Another issue is when I stop at a red light with a lot of overhead wires, I lose my signal and it takes a few minutes to get it back. This seems to be worse when actually following a planned route.
You can make other software work on this unit (I'm using Route66 V7 now), but you have to rename the program file (Route66.exe to MobileNavigator.exe for example) and put the files in an additional folder (MobileNavigator). It is Win CE 4 based so the newest TomTom and Destinator may not work, but they still have better maps in their older products.
Also, this unit only works on three models (9412, 9512 and the double DIN model. Does not work on 9312 as some sites say)
Hope this helps.

This unit is great.

Came with 2006 maps. I called Audivox and they sold me an update cheap.
The unit was discounted for a reason, it had older maps. If you are a suer and do not research this before hand, that is your fualt.. nothingis free...
Wish other buyer would think about that.

I also learned this unit is supporting 10 differant regions around the world.

For the newest maps and free software see [...] look at Shop for maps
and Downloads for free software update for thos with Navmate installed...

Jensen is not out of the nav bussiness, that is bad is just a lie..

I've been using the Jensen Nav101 for a couple of months with a VM9512HD system. I like the navigation user interface but feel the route selection is not that great.
One thing that bugs me is that if you want to do navigation without sound so you can listen to the radio without being interrupted constantly - there's no way to do that. Even if you mute the navigation sound, the nav101 will still barge into your music and play nothing.
I'm also not too happy about that fact that map updates dont seem to be available so after a couple of years it might be too outdated to be useful.
