Customer Reviews Navigon 7200T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigation with Bluetooth, Text-to-Speech, and Free Traffic Alerts From Navigon
Like another reviewer said, I REALLY want to like this GPS This GPS has so much potential. It is ridiculously feature-rich and has so many great options. I've had the chance to use it for a few days now on some fairly lengthy trips. And to my advantage it sat side-by-side with a Garmin 760 the entire time. My final consensus was to switch to a Garmin 765T which includes free traffic. But anyhow, here's my review of this unit. PROS: -Ridiculously fast recalculations. If you make a wrong turn, literally within 10 feet of making that wrong turn, it has already recognized it and re-routed you. It is just insane that way. -Routing is pretty good compared to the Garmin. For the most part they were the same routes. -Tons of features (avoidances, etc...) -Lane assist was dead-on for me, and was very helpful. CONS (or things you should know before you buy it): -Almost packed it back up 5 minutes after opening it because I got the illegal operation screen like 6 times in a row after turning the unit on for the first time. I almost gave up, but on the 6th time it let me in finally. -My biggest problem with this unit is that it does NOT turn on automatically when you start your car. I know it may sound petty, but I like my GPS on all the time because I check out street names, and keep an eye on the speed limits where they aren't posted. Having to turn on the unit EVERY time I get in the car is a nuisance (dealt with that for a year with a Mio C520; never again). -Speech recognition kind of sucks. For the NJ Turnpike it kept saying "New Jersey TPKE" (try pronouncing TPKE as a word and that's what it sounds like). It does this numerous times with major roads, including the "Garden State P" (why can't it just say PARKWAY???). The Garmin does a much better job with this. -As well it does not announce 95% of the exit numbers. It DOES show it on the screen but it is so stinking tiny it's almost impossible to see it (and I have fantastic vision). -The screen is feature-rich, but almost a little too rich. It's hard to see everything. Fonts are small, icons are small, buttons are small, etc... Just annoying overall. I kept seeing tiny icons pop up but I couldn't tell what the heck they were (gas stations, etc...?). -Traffic assist is a little more detailed than the Garmin. BUT one huge downside is that it does not tell you how major the delay is (other than color coding the icon). Garmin tells you how many minutes you will be backed up (ie 14 minutes); while the Navigon just tells you there is slow traffic, or stop and go traffic, or whatever. Makes it difficult to determine if you should route around it, or try and go through. -Automatic traffic rerouting is a joke. We had the GPS set to automatically route around traffic, yet on numerous occasions it took us right into traffic jams that it already knew about. The Garmin kept trying to tell us to get off (which we should have listened to). -Automatic daylight/nighttime display isn't working right. The time shows correctly but it was night for at least an hour before it switched over. If it is going to be wrong it needs to be wrong the other direction and switch to night display earlier rather than later. Having a blinding white light in your eyes for an hour while you're driving is NOT a good idea. The Garmin's switch was pretty much dead-on with sunset. -HUGE inconvenience is that you cannot search by name in the POI database. This renders it almost useless, though I have to say Garmin's is pretty well useless also. Numerous times both GPS's wouldn't show major retailers we were looking for and were only a few miles away. -Windshield mount is kind of obtrusive. Garmin really has the best mount out there as it is small and out of the way. This one is about twice as large which means it takes up twice as much of your windshield space and view of the road. -Speaker isn't that great. On the top two volume settings it is crackly, like a cheap alarm clock radio. On the third highest setting it is just about the right volume when driving on the highway, so it works out anyway. So in all, there are a lot of negatives, especially when comparing it to the Garmin units. If you've never owned a Garmin then you probably wouldn't rate it as negatively as I do. In fact I would probably have given it 4 or maybe 5 stars if I wasn't already spoiled by the Garmin GPS units. My advice? Spend the extra $100 and go with the Garmin 765T (or 755T). It's worth the price!
Stay away from Navigon I bought the 7200 becuse all the bells and whistles... Navigon is great exept they have built their nav system on a version of windows that is unstable. When the unit comes out of standby, not all of the buttons work or it just locks up and you have to reboot it. $300 junk. I will say if it were a stable system Iwould go back to them. For now the bad OS makes the thing worthless
not as good as I expected I thought about buying 7100 last year because I really wanted the lifetime traffic feature, but I waited until a new product comes out. With 7100, the biggest issue I heard was with its routing algorithms. I've experienced only one glitch with regard to its routing ability when 7200t decided that I should make a u-turn(if possible) when I know that my bank is on the right after the signal. There was one fatal error, which made me turn it off after about 3 minutes I turned on for the first time. I was not sure what it was but a window with an error message popped up on the screen like you would see on your computer screen. The most annoying thing with 7200t is its touch screen. It's not sensitive to the point where it just will not recognize your click until you press like 3 times, and it makes this circles on the screen like the ones you would see on your LCD monitor when you press your fingers on. I wish I can have that long vehicle mount that was available with 7100. My car's windshield is far enough that I have to move my body forward to reach my 7200t with its short mount. The new mount that comes with 7200t is not that stylish like that of 7100. The manual is not present in the box so you have to go online to download it. I guess it's all about reducing costs. Other features like, lifetime traffic, lane assistant, and speaking street names work very well. The lifetime traffic sold me out on this product but now that I know Garmin has the lifetime traffic on some of its models, I'm going to consider Garmin next time.
