Reviews:

• PCWorld review 85/100 by Liane Cassavoy, Nov 13, 2008
  The Navigon 2200T isn't the slickest or most feature-packed GPS product on the block, but it delivers decent navigation and lifetime traffic service for an extremely low price. It includes text-to-speech capability, which means that it pronounces street names for you. The routes that the 2200T provided were decent, but not exceptional.

  The good news is Navigon's 2200T ($229 list) is not only affordably priced, it comes with an integrated traffic receiver and a lifetime traffic update subscription...some GPS manufacturers charge upward of $100 for optional traffic receivers and around $60 a year for a traffic subscription. The 2200T features a comparatively small 3.5-inch, 320-by-240-pixel screen.

• Consumer Reports 61/100 Best Buy
  The 2200T marks a significant improvement over previous Navigon units. Notably, address entry is simpler and calculation time has improved. However, the touchscreen remains less responsive than competing models. The standout feature is free real-time traffic, particularly at its modest as-tested price.

• Cnet Reviews editors rating 3 stars by Bonnie Cha, Feb 06, 2009
  The good: The Navigon 2200T offers free real-time traffic updates for life as well as text-to-speech functionality and reality view for major highway exchanges.
  The bad: The screen size is rather small. Satellite acquisition is slow.
  The bottom line: The Navigon 2200T takes some time to warm up but the GPS offers a lot of bang for your buck, including free traffic updates for life.
