"Overall, RoadMate 2200T is very good for the money. Affordable and easy to use. Recommended."
Pros: Screen is easy to read, voice is clear, not too bulky compare to other similar products with the same range of money. But it and you will like it.
Cons: Menu navigation is a bit confuse, you will need to play with it for a few times to get use to it. Music sound is not that great. Photo viewer is an OK.
Summary: Overall, RoadMate 2200T is very good comparing to Garmin Street Pilot C340 (I previously owned C340)or other similar products as the same price range.
The good: Turn-by-turn guidance with text-to-speech is surprisely good and is very close to human voice, unlike the Street Pilot C340's text-to-speech, which is very much computerized. You may store new address to favorite folder or leave it in previous address folder. Remind you at 1 mile, 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile and in between 400-200ft. You may select Fastest, shortest, Avoid highway for individual trip instead of preset like Street Pilot C340 (which you use select at System level). The detour option is really a nice feature that will allow you to take alternate route if there is a slow down in between 5 to 10 minutes. You may select either 3, 5, 10 or custom distance to be detoured. Fast "lock in" signals.
The bad: Navigation menu is not that easy to use compare to Street Pilot C340, you may need to play with it for a few times to get use to. Missed turn route recalculation is too slow ccompare to Street Pilot C340 (approx. 5-10 seconds when SP C340 took less then 5 seconds to recalculated). Portable? depend how you see it, but it is still a bit bulky and will not fit in my pocket for sure.
The Urly: Beware, please charge the battery before use (unfortunately, there is no AC/DC adapter so you will have charge it from your car). You will also need to "reset" before use, the reset switch in on the left side of the unit... Unlike other units, you have to slide the button up then down to reset th eunit.
Overall, the unit performs well and worth the money. Recommended.
