I was a bit apprehensive when I purchased this one. But all my concerns were laid to rest when I started using it.
Pros:
- Quick satellite acquisition
- Reroutes within a matter of seconds
- Has millions of POIs. Even the local Burger King is listed.
- Free traffic updates for life. This is a wonderful feature. It saved me lots time when I was on holiday in Miami, FL.
- Pocket-sized, easy to carry.

I was one of the first people to buy this GPS (it was sold out for a long time after that). I have it for about 4 months now and I love it!
The best features are:
1. The reality view which shows lane pictures and highway signs as they appear in real life.
2. Real-Time traffic update. It was delayed by about 10-15 minutes when I passed a few traffic accidents and congestion but still it’s pretty awesome feature to have for the life of the GPS.

I just received my Navigon 2200T and have it for about 2 weeks now. First impression on the unit is the design is very nice, small and compact which can easily put inside my pocket. The reason I get this one over the 7200T is the 4.3″ might be a little too big to put in my pocket and it is a little heavier too (not to mention it costs more). Like the previous review said the screen is big enough to see the direction. The bigger screen on the 7200T is only giving you the width which isn’t very helpful.
As far as performance goes it takes a long time to log onto the satellites (more than 20 minutes) every time I turn on the unit. I emailed Navigon customer support and they instructed me to reset the unit. I did that and it immediately acquired the signal. I said to myself “wow, it really works”. Unfortunately as soon as I turn off the unit (or standby mode), the problem of logging onto the satellites comes back again. I am not sure if I have a defective unit or this is just the way this product is. There is no way for me to reset the unit every time I want a fast satellites signal. All my saved addresses will be lost and it is a real hassle to re-enter them again. I already sent another e-mail to customer support and hope the problem is the unit itself.

So far I am REALLY happy with the Navigon 2200t. I kept going back and forth between the 2200t and the 7200t. Although the 4.2″ widescreen on the 7200t is nice I didn’t need the bluetooth capability since my car already has it.
The 3.5″ screen on the 2200t is plenty large and easy to read and type on. It would be nice if it had a QWERTY keyboard onscreen but the keyboard is intelligent only displaying relevant keys. I had no problem typing my destinations error free.
One of the complaints I read about past Navigon units was slow performance for GPS acquision, routing, and the menu system. That issue has absolutely been resolved with the new Navigon line. The menus are quick and the GPS locks on almost instantly. The traffic features are nice to have especially here in Atlanta. The speaker is surprisingly loud and clear when speaking the directions.
