 Great Navigator October 4, 2006
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Over the past 5 years I have owned and used Kenwood Navigator ($3000), DeLorme Navigator, Microsoft Streets & Trips w GPS; all unsatisfactory. The Garmin 7200 tops them all. I would have to nit-pick to field any complaints about this product. Easy to set up and easy to use. No annoying behaviors.
 DC power plug blows fuse September 4, 2006
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I have the streetpilot 7200 and I like it very much. Talked my girl friend into getting one and found a glich when connecting the 12 vdc power plug. She has a 94' Ford Tarus with the conventional cigarette lighter socket. When inserting the gps 12 vdc plug into her cigarette socket the fuse blows. This was also the case when I used my unit to verify problem. It also will blow the fuse without the gps unit attached. Using a multimeter I found that if the tip of the plug is recessed flush with the plug body it shorts out the fuse. My Honda civic 06' model has a accessory plug and this does not occur. The design of this power plug for older cars is faulty. I temporary corrected the problem by inserting a rubber washer to fit inside the socket to prevent the plug from being inserted to the depth that would allow the tip and the body to be flush resulting in a short circuit! Washer size: 7/8"od x 3/8"id x 1/8"h. UPDATE: Garmin shipped us 2 new cables via overnight delivery. They worked great. It's refreshing to see a company that backs up their products. They were very professional and polite.
poor connector August 17, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
The connector cord male tip blew a fuse and when my wife tried to replace the fuse the connector end disintegrated. Garmin replaced it and so far no more problem. My wife, a busy real estate agent finds the unit very helpful in her work. There is no adequate mount for use in her Escalade and something had to be jury rigged.
love my garmin July 18, 2006

I loooooooooooove my 7200 st pilot. I am 74 years old and my wife and I love to travel in our 38' holiday rambler navigator and before I purchased the 7200 st pilot I was always nervous about directions and finding specific locations. If you miss the turn your in trouble. This navigation system is uncanny. I just program in the address and it takes us there without fail. I don't even look at maps anymore. Some folks have nit picked this unit about it's mounting system, but I put it on a piece of 1/4" thick plastic and velcroed it to the dash. I hot glued a 5/8s himp rope around the plastic and it looks fantastic. Bata bing-bata boom. Thanks Garmin. I'm not afraid to go anywhere anymore. We live in Missouri and our next trip is Niagara Falls.
Best Auto GPS I Have Used July 13, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have owned numerous marine and auto chartplotter/GPS's and this is the best I have used on land. The screen size is ideal for being able to glance quickly without taking your eyes off the road too long; smaller units are just too hard to read.
The operation is easy and intuitive with almost no need to read the manual. The database and instructions seem excellent so far. Garmin support is excellent as demonstrated by a problem with the 12v auto adaptor blowing fuses. Garmin tech support said they have had some problems with that and sent a whole new unit since they do not have auto adaptors, separately, yet.
I agree that the mounting base is not good for portability so I will buy the bean bag mount and see how I like it. I highly recommend this unit for anyone wanting a mobile GPS.
