Tech Digest have spotted that Navigon have released the 8110 in the UK. This unit features a whole host of features included in the price, one of which is Navigon’s new FreshMaps service. This offer 24 months of updates for a one off cost (which is included in the purchase price of the 8110, with it costing about £80 on it’s own). When a new map is made available, you simply connect your SatNav to your PC and download the new map onto the device. In price terms, this is about the same cost as 2 Garmin yearly updates, but if Navigon actually produce more than 1 update per year, then this may work out better value for those that want or need the latest mapping.

The other specs include:

• Panorama View^3D (A realistic view of the surroundings.)
• Reality View Pro (Realistic display of motorway junctions and exits)
• Voice Recognition Pro
• Lane Assistant Pro
• TMC Pro (incl. Pay TMC for F & UK)
• Latest-generation Bluetooth® hands-free kit with integrated microphone
