User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Lifetime Traffic still valid?
If I am buying this GPS, how long do you think I will have the Live Traffic Service? I’ve heard they are recently pulling out of the U.S. market so I am a bit worry about the warranty & the included lifetime traffic…friends told me Navigon’s Lane Assist feature is the best compare to other GPS brands…so I am thinking of getting one and use it for 3 years if the included life time traffic is still valid.
5 Stars Great product!
The Navigon 7200T is a great GPS. I have used a Garmin before and the Navigon is far better. Not many GPS’s offer route preview, where you can review the route and then eliminate some roads when you know of a better way. Also, if you don’t take the suggested route, it recaculates very quickly and comes up with another route (instead of asking you to make a U-turn over and over to go back to the original route). Satellite connection is very quick also. The spoken street names are great. The windshield mount that comes with it works great – I thought I would have to buy another mounting product to make it easier to use. This model also has FREE traffic alerts and offers to re-route you based on them. The lane guidance feature is very nice to have. For the money this is a great product. It won’t be long before Navigon is rated alongside Garmin and TomTom.
4 Stars First-time GPS user, much impressed.
Because this is my first GPS device (I’d never even used one) I can’t compare it to any other product but, as a tool, I am impressed. From the first time I used it I was pleased, though I learned impatiently that it initially takes the machine about 15-20 minutes to orient itself. I drove the next day to Brooklyn from Queens, frequently ignoring the device’s spoken directions and in each instance happily learned of a revised plan very shortly thereafter. Once in Brooklyn, as we drove through the unfamiliar streets, I was amazed to notice that even obscure little businesses were named onscreen and the Navigon deftly led us through a maze of city center confusion until we were back on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and heading home. Just in terms of avoided frustration and the occasional impassioned discussion of which navigational theory ought next be followed, it is well worth the money.
3 Stars Not for the novice
First, I really like this GPS. However, I do not find it as as to use or intuitive as the Garmin I previously used. One must actually read the documentation in order to understand and begin to use the features of this GPS.
I like: the fact that I can input an address using voice (except for the state, which must still be input manually…. why?); that it speaks street names; that it helps direct you to the proper lane on major highways; free traffic alerts; that the map update card is economical.
I find the following disappointing: Points of interest seem to be getting better but other GPS units still have more. The speakerphone doesn’t work well — I’ve tried it using two completely different phones and both had issues, including not re-pairing, incoming calls where the caller can’t hear me at all or I can’t hear them at all, phone book not transferring, static and/ or garbled. If part of your buying decision is based on the hands-free aspect, you may want to look at one of the other Navigon models and a BlueAnt Supertooth Light.
1 Star Bad unit and customer service
I love the graphics, but the performasnce is very poor. I received an error about the phonelink.exe. The unit gets real hot and freezes up. I was in Orlando trying to find my hotel, and the unit froze up before I got there. I contacted customer service with a detailed description of what happened and recived no response yet.
I will send the unit back to navigon. If they can’t repair it, they can keep it. I will get another one from a different manufacturer.
