The Garmin Street Pilot 7200 looks good in the brochures. Any feed-back on its worth for e.g. minor country roads as
well as mains and cities? I read it takes a reversing camera cable too. cheers.

It will have all the same fantastic software as all Garmins, Only It might be a bit big for a small 4x4 , but then I have not set eyes on one yet ,But yes stick with Garmins , you won't be sorry
::The StreetPilot 7200's huge 7-inch touch screen display means you'll always see where you're going — from anywhere in the vehicle. Designed for larger vehicles such as 4x4s, trucks, and buses, the 7200 is a premium::
I use a Nuvi 660 and find it very good, but it really depends on what you require from a GPS , Do you want Tracks and Routes, then Nuvi is not what you want .
I suggest browsing the specs in GME's or Johnny Appleseed web sites for prices etc

I have had bad expearences with Navman,3 months waite on warrenty work, 4 months waite for car charger,slow to lock on to satalites and freezes up all the time. First one i brought didn't lock on to sat, they replaced that with another and it wouldn't read the map card, they replaced that with another which wouldn't talk.You think i would have asked for my money back after all that hey??? But never Navman AGAIN.
