Navigon 7200T GPS with landmarks and 3D signs

Navigon have just released its latest satellite navigation system, the 7200T. This device looks very stylish and has a rather sleek design. It is said to be on sale as from October 2008, and will be around $449.
There are many impressive features with this unit. For a start, it has Reality View Pro which means that the signs are all in photo realistic 3D. So you never really need to miss your exit again. It also offers free real-time traffic updates for life, therefore allowing the user to avoid congestion on the roads and provides an alternative route. One of the features that caught my eye is the voice destination entry. It uses advanced voice recognition to allow the driver to speak the address, which is a lot safer.
It features a frameless, 4.3inch touch screen display. The device comes with 64MB of RAM, 2GB flash storage, an SiRF GRF3i+ GPS chip and microSD card support.
The 7200T comes with Bluetooth for hands free communication while on the move. It also has Directhelp, giving the user instant directions and contact information to nearby pharmacies, roadside assistance, police stations and hospitals, so help is always at hand.
