had to pull over to try to turn it back on and go back on my way. i guess this was a sign of it not working at all very soon, because a month later it stopped working, completelyi have to admit the directions are very accurate and unlike the GPS i have right now, this would tell you where you destination is (wether it is on the left or right, and would routing would stop only when you arive at the destination) the one i have right now works great but wont take you exactly to you destination this was the first GPS i bought on amazon, it was very good until the screen started going off while i was driving. the gps doesn't go off but just the screen, like you would hear the instruction but not se the map on the screen.
Because the voice names the streets you can keep your eyes on the road almost all of the time. You won't be disappointed. I don't think any units made have a larger screen. Not for small cars due to huge screen size. Most of the reviews have listed all the features so I will not repeat them, but my two favorites are large screen and the voice naming the streets. I bought this unit for our motorhome. This is one great unit. If you need "big" then this is the unit for you.
It has surpassed all my expectations. It is very user friendly and the programming is very easy to master.
If I need a second one it will be another 7200 Garmin. The support is great if you have any kind of a problem.
I would recommend it to any first time buyer and also any old time gps user. Very easy to move from vehicle to vehicle.
I purchased this GPS to use in my motorhome. I especially like the size of the screen.
I also purchased from Amazon.com a second mount so that I could move the unit to a second vehicle.
As near as I can interpret the guarantee extends from day one of purchase of original unit so when my year is up and this unit fails even though it only lasts a few months it will not be replaced for no charge. My biggest concern at the moment is that the latest unit will fail just beyond the 1 yr guarantee limit and I will be stuck with a very expensive fishing weight. I am on #3 and it's been only 5 months. I bought this unit as a replacement for a nuvi 350 which was an excellent piece of hardware.I wanted the video input feature so I could use it for my screen for my reverse video camera.I am currently on my third unit as the 2 previous ones failed (could not acquire satellites) at inconvenient times in the middle of long trips leaving me to go to AAA for for folding maps to get home with.The unit works well when it works but it seems to have very iffy engineering as far as dependability is concerned. Garmin's response time to failure problems is not the worst I've encountered but certainly not world class. I would not recommend this unit.
The large screen is easy to see and makes reading the street or highway names very easy. Down loading shape files and other survey data is very easy using the memory card.
I highly recommend it for anyone who does any amount of traveling. I count on it every day for my work and has proven to be a valuble tool.
I have no complaints after my first month of use. I love this product and it is the best Christmas gift I have ever recieved.
The Street Pilot 7200 is all as advertised. It has proven to be very easy to use and is very accurate.
The pile of maps that would normally reside on the passenger seat is now obsolete.
