"Great GPS!!!"
Pros: Clear Screen, Great touch screen response, bluetooth pairing works great on my blackberry bold, Accurate Directions, Copies Contacts to the device, Voice Entry worked 1st time, the list goes on!
Cons: Words on the screen could be a little bigger, or in a bolder font, could be more poi's however with fresh maps the database keeps growing.
Summary: Well i first saw this product on CNET on the top 5 GPS screen and i thought well i never heard of them. So i read reviews on this product and other products for about a week before i made my decision. I ordered the navigon 7200t, although skeptical at first with everyone saying it crashed on startup and needed resetting, or it didnt pair with their blackberry among other things i was determined to give it a shot. The day i got it i opened it right away and the battery was dead, so i went out to my car and plugged it in for about 10 mins and came back, it turned on right away and after setting up the language and everything, signal lock came in under 30 seconds. I was suprised on how accurate and responsive the touch screen was. So i paired my phone right away, at first it paired but didint copy my contacts over, the second time i connected it, they transfered right away. The windsheild mount works great, its strong and durable. So i set out for a drive to the nearest best buy to test the directions. Very accurate, it gave me the directions that i take every time i go there.turn by turn guidence is accurate and gives plenty of time to slow down to turn even in slippery conditions. Free traffic updates for life and free zagat reports are both wonderful features of this product, and their freshmaps package which on amazon is 59 bucks gets you quarterly updates for 3 years, vs garmin which is about 60 a year i was told. I like the poi search but one things that kinda bothers me is the fact when your driving and you dont have a route planned, you cannot get information on the poi's around you unless you do a poi search, when you have a route planned you can see a list of all poi's coming up. I was at best buy this week and i had played around with garmins, tom toms, magellans, among others, i am very happy with the purchase i made, and the choice to go with the navigon. A+
