There has bee a little bit of a learning curve. I have had a little difficulty finding how to use various items on this device. I think this would likley have been true with any GPS I purchased. The letters are a little on the small side. And it it frustrating when entering the name of the location in your favorite places that there doesn’t seem to be a section for symbols or lower case letters. I want to save a location as “Dan’s House” and I can only seem to type “DANS HOUSE”

Directions: This thing has given me some good directions and some bad directions. I have adjusted the routing to avoid local roads yet there is one point on a major road where it asks me to get off and take local roads and meet up with the main road further down the way. Deffinately it is a shorter route, but with traffic lights it is slower. Overall, the routes are good though, and have even shown me some better ways to get places I travel to frequently

I was a previous owner of a Garmin 750. I must confess the features that I really admired in the 750 were its ease of use and its multimedia capability. However, the lack of bluetooth capability (useful in states where answering your cell phone while driving is illegal) and the lack of free traffic updates (which required an optional reciever and subscription) were a turnoff and did cause some inconvenience. Then I discovered the sheer joy of the Navigon 7200T. It’s the best GPS you’ve never heard of. The free lifetime traffic updates, optional freshmaps service-which provides 12 map updates over 3 years for less than what Garmin would charge for one update, the Zagat ratings, logically arranged POIs were just what I was looking for. The cons were the lack of Mp3 playing capability and the lack of an FM transmitter. However, I do carry my ipod around quite a bit and i already have an FM transmitter for my ipod. So, I could easily forgive Navigon for this minor infraction. I highly recommend this product over any similarly priced item from any competitor.
