Navigon 2200T announced
UPDATE: Read my hands on review of the Navigon 2200T.
The Navigon 2200T, a feature-laden successor to the Navigon 2100, is being announced this morning. With a 3.5" screen and a suggested retail price of $229.99, the 2200T will be an entry-level device for Navigon, albeit with a richness of features equal to mid- to high-range units from other manufacturers:
- Lifetime traffic
- Reality ViewTM Pro and Lane Assist Pro
- Text-to-speech
- Speed limit display
- Multi-destination trip planning
- DirectHelpTM
The Navigon 2200T includes maps of the 48 contiguous United States and "millions" of points of interest. Like the Navigon 7200T, the 2200T uses the newest generation Navigon interface, which promises improvements over earlier models. Another advance is the second-generation Reality View Pro that "provides 3D images and actual road sign text for virtually every highway interchange and exit you will encounter."
Navigon continues to offer loads of features and aggressive pricing, which has propelled them past Mio to the number four GPS manufacturer spot in the U.S. market. If Navigon goes after an even greater market share with aggressive pricing this holiday season (which would mean Black Friday deals on the 2200T for less than $100), Magellan better watch out, lest Navigon pass them and claim the number three spot.
