Not too long ago, we were getting excited about getting our hands on Navigon's three upcoming GPS devices. However, this morning we receive news that the German manufacturer of portable navigation devices is withdrawing from the North American market.
We were so close! Citing " difficult economic environment and the aggressive pricing ", CEO Egon Minar announced this morning that Navigon is downsizing its Chicago office and stepping out of the American market.
Of the American market, the TomTom/Garmin price war means it has been refurbished, but it is still backed by a 90 day warranty, and you get it shipped for free.
Minar stated that Navigon would continue to support current customers with map updates and, presumably, honor warranties; and that the company is not completely shuttering its North American operations. Navigon are not warranties of any order to buy or sell.
