The real time traffic will not automatically alert you to traffic if you don't have a destination but any time there is traffic detected there is an icon on the screen you can push to review it. The text to speech feature is also nice because the unit will tell you the name of the street to turn on around 500 to 800 feet away but then tells you to turn right at the street, so if you hear and look for the name of the street you won't miss a turn. I'm not a fan of the dashboard mount, it's bulky and there's really nowhere in my car I can mount it without it obstructing my view. The bluetooth does not have the best connection and the sound for it is a little muffled. from Buy.com I don't really have signal problems like some others seem to have. I get a signal within a minute or two once unit is turned on. If you are tech savvy and know that you have to go to Navigon's website to register and update your device then it's not very difficult. I would recommend this device to anyone especially at $150. from Tigerdirect.com Worked OK for 1st month then stopped; devise now displays a msg to reset it which after following directions in manual carefully didn't revive it. Since Navigon no longer allows any buyers to call them (RED FLAG), sent Navigon's Customer Support a total of 5 emails requesting HELP over past 5 weeks. from Amazon.com I bought my Navigon GPS (7200T) because it had the most features for the lowest price. That still holds true. from Amazon.com Turned off the highway about 2 blocks from the motel we were trying to find and the 7100 told us to go in every direction but towards the motel. Even when we were in the parking lot of the motel it told us to turn around and go back on the highway. from Amazon.com I purchased this GPS to use when driving across country and through the maze of exits and interchanges that you run into in larger cities. The feature that caught my eye was the 'reality view', and I hoped it would take the surprises out of being in the wrong lane at the right time. from Amazon.com I read and read all about the Navigon 7100 along with several other models by various manufacturers. I also watched the demo video. from Amazon.com I tried the 7100. I gave it 1 star because the interface is poor and the touch screen is aweful. from Amazon.com For a wide screen display, it should be putting more of the secondary info bits on the sides, not along the top or bottom where it obscures or compresses the map almost to the point of unusability. The info bit that shows you your current speed is way to small to be usable. It stores all of its map data on an SD card, which contributes to the overall slowness of the thing to load and calculate routes. You can store addresses/favorites, but not any database of custom POIs. from Amazon.com A unique feature of this unit is icons of gas stations, resturants etc... and city scapes on the display. Awesome GPS Navigator! from Amazon.com
