3.0 out of 5 stars Limited coverage area, December 30, 2007

This product is limited to very few areas. It only covers major metropolitan areas. It's great when you travel to bigger cities, but forget it if you travel to a small city and town. I guess Zagat does not do small. Maybe they will add more cities in the future including my city Asheville, NC; a major tourist area. As of July 1, 2008 Zagat has added a few ratings in the Western North Carolina area, way to few to make any differance in my review of this product. For example Mount Mitchell Golf course was incluled but they gave the wrong address. On the map the course is where it's suppose to be but the address is wrong, I had to go in and manually add the correct location on my unit. I bet a lot of golfers will be lost if they fallow the Zagat info. Glad i knew how to get there, the unit was sending me in the wrong direction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Zagat is just "okay" !, May 11, 2008

This item is just "okay". However Navigon is really doing something different than the other GPS companies. Navigon is innovative and unique and it should grow and get better as they come out with new things and update their existing products. For this item they need to update it to cover more places. It works where I live but it only features a few things, when it could have much more with the places that are here.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice addition for your navigon gps, amazon over charges, December 30, 2008

Overall, this is a good, inexpensive addition for your navigon gps unit. It's basically the paper zagat restaurant guide along with reviews of other attractions (hotels, golf courses, etc). I paid 16.99 for this directly from navigon (19.99 with 25% off code), so I'm not sure why amazon is charging so much.

Pros:
-Detailed restaurant reviews and information like hours/phone numbers
-Convenient restaurant categories such as best food, best service, etc.
-Additional reviews of other attractions
-Relatively inexpensive at $16.99
-Updated regularly (yearly i think)

Cons:
-POI search is hard to navigate through (inherent to navigon devices)
-Arrows don't allow you to scroll through a review, only page up/down
-Great coverage in big metropolitan areas, limited coverage elsewhere (think of which cities they actually make the zagat guide for)
-Navigon charged me $1 shipping even though nothing was actually shipped. They just e-mailed me the activation codes for the service.
