After owning a Garmin Nuvi 660 for around 2 years, I got tired of not having updated maps (even after purchasing Garmin updates) where alot of the areas already developed over a year ago STILL weren’t there — especially the DFW area. While traffic was nice, I didnt think I should have to pay extra when the unit originally cost over $400. Enter the Navigon 7200T. This GPS fixes most of the previous version’s issues (auto night/day, more accurate directions, etc) plus it has built in Zagats and great Voice recognition SW. The Zagats is ultra cool for folks like me that do alot of business travel and know restaurants only by name. One of my colleagues will say “Lets meet at Noodle Wave” and all I have to do is type the name in my Navi and Bam! I have the address, location, phone number and directions in my car. Truly awesome. Also, I like the ability to plan out my route beforehand so i can verify the directions with google or mapquest. I dont miss not having videos, mp3s on my GPS since thats what my ipod is for. So for me, the keys for a Navi are accurate and updated maps, free traffic and the ability to search places by name (not just address), the 7200T is really it.
