Customer's Reviews (All-Reviews)
Pookie ( USA ) Good price, fast shipping, lots of features including lifetime traffic updates with no additional fees. However Navigon is no longer providing service in the US. I would not recommend that device to anyone due to lack of customer service. Also POI are very limited on the included software. It is better to buy Garmin or Tomtom.

C. Logan ( Oregon, USA ) I have really liked Navigon GPS products because they're packed with features that you usually wouldn't find on a Garmin or a TomTom at a similar price. Here are some of the features:
-RealityView at highway interchanges, which actually really does help with knowing which lane to be in at the upcoming exit. We previously owned a Navigon 2100 and I can tell that they have improved this feature in the 7200T-- it now shows a bit more detail.
-LaneAssist Pro works well, but only in very large cities. We currently live in Milwaukee, and I've never seen the LaneAssist pop-up. But when we drive down to Chicago (even the suburbs of Chicago), suddenly the feature starts to work fairly well.
-the Bluetooth feature seems to recognise my Blackberry phone. Apparently, it doesn't recognise all phones, though.
-the landmark feature (that shows major landmarks on the maps) is basically useless-- some of the landmarks I could barely recognise. Besides, when it tries to draw those 3D images on the screen, it seems to slow down the device a bit. I eventually just turned that feature off.
-it takes a couple of minutes to get a good satellite signal, which is fairly normal in most GPS units.
-the points-of-interest (POIs) on most Navigon devices are not very plentiful. For general traveling, you can find a restaurant, a gas station, and even Zagat-rated restaurants and hotels, but don't expect to find a local grocery store or the nearest Walmart. In other words, it works fine when you're looking for any restaurant, but it probably won't have a lot of the specific POIs that you might need. I think having a very comprehensive POI database is more of a Garmin-specific strength.
-the way that Navigon designed the power plug on many of its devices is just horrible. Why would they put a non-bendable power cord plugging into the bottom of the unit? This limits how low you can mount the GPS on your dashboard, otherwise the power plug won't fit. Designing a GPS mount with the power cord built-in would have been a much better idea.
-we have owned this device for about four months now and I've had it freeze on me about four or five times now. When it freezes, I didn't notice immediately, but the map was frozen on the screen and I had to do a hard reset. I don't know if this is specific to the unit that I received, but it can be a bit annoying when it happens in a place where you don't know where you're going.
-the text-to-speech feature is pretty good-- I can almost always understand the voice. Some words it pronounces amazingly well, but some words (even very common words!) are not pronounced properly at all. For instance, it pronounces the word 'west' as "whesht," yet every once in a while it will pronounce it properly! Another word it says oddly is 'avenue,' which it pronounces as "avernue."
All in all, I like Navigon products and don't regret buying this device. If you're a geek and get along fairly well with electronics, then this might be the device for you. But, if you're like my parents and don't really even understand how the internet works, then maybe you should look for a simpler device like the TomTom.

S. McNally ( NJ ) i love the voice entry and that 'she' re directs you when you go off course. i HATE the customer support- they only accept emails via their website and ask for 48 hrs to return emails!!!!! 48 hrs! the phone number is not 800 and you have to google navigon to get it

L. Williams ( Clearwater, FL, USA ) Even though you can buy this Navigon GPS on Amazon, don't. The company no longer operates in the U.S. and you won't get support or updates. You will be left out in the cold with nothing to do but return the unit to Amazon. Instead check out the various GPS's from Magellan (the 1440 is a great unit), Garmin or TomTom.
Navigon now only makes an app for the iPhone 3G or 3GS for North America, but I'm reluctant to even try it, since they closed their doors in the U.S. in a flash, leaving users of their GPS's supportless.
