7200T<\/font> GPS with real time traffic<\/font>

At the corner turn
\nleft, immediately followed by a left then another left. In this case three
\nleft’s did not make a right. The Navigon 7200T is full of features. It can
\nroute you around traffic with a free lifetime subscription to a traffic
\nnotification system. Bluetooth hands free system that can (somehow) sync\u00a0 <\/span>an address book with both outlook and a
\npaired device so that stored phone numbers can be dialed directly and contacts
\nwith address information can be navigated too. Also, the Navigon has three
\ndistinct route profiles, Standard Car, pedestrian, or bicycle, the device has a
\nbuilt in battery so once fully charged, it can help you find what ever you need
\nin walking distance.<\/p>\n

The user interface
\nwas difficult to learn and even after a few weeks with the device I am still
\nhaving trouble trying to find POI’s and programming frequently visited
\ndestinations. Built on Windows CE, I have found the most useful tool while
\nusing the device is a paperclip to press the "reset" button when the
\ndevice crashes because of a Windows Error (about one every 4-5 days). The
\nBluetooth hands free feature does not work with a blackberry curve that was
\nrepeatedly paired, only one contact our of 596 were transferred, which was
\nironically AAA. The device failed to to reconnect to the phone after
\nrestarting\u00a0 <\/span>and even failed to remain
\nconnected to the device during longer driving sessions. I was able to test the
\ndevice to another Curve and a BlackBerry storm with similar results. <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving on, the
\ndevice was very good at telling me where traffic was, after I found it myself
\nand never rerouted a better course for me. Often I would snake myself out of it
\nwaiting for it to reroute me to the destination. Sometimes the best calculated
\nroute included going in complete circles, whether this is a glitch in some of
\nits maps or it simply believes I need the extra practice is aggravating. With
\nthe rising price of gas today,\u00a0 <\/span>the
\nNavigon should help prevent such wastes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, this GPS
\nunlike past ones has not yet tried to kill me. In the past a TomTom unit
\nrepeatedly tried to send me down multiple\u00a0
\n<\/span>one way streets, in the wrong direction. In all, with a little tweaking
\nand the bugs worked out the device could make a swell GPS.<\/p>\n
