Navigon Unveils new PND, the 7200T

The quest for a PND that can offer real-time traffic updates by the German PND manufacturer has finally paved way; recently the company proudly announced that its 7200T is such a high-end PND that is set to offer its users with free traffic data.

The product is an updated version of its premium 7x5 series and its entry-level 2x5 series Nuvi PNDs. It also announced that it was offering lifetime subscriptions to the Navteq Traffic data service included in the purchase price of these Garmin models.

The pace at which these GPS manufacturers introduce new features to enhance functionality of the devices is well commended. Before now, GPS users were only confided to interesting features such as the touch screen and the text-to-speech. Now with the real-time traffic updates being included in the device, users get up to date information about traffic jam in the city and can plan ahead as may be required when going out.

In order to give it valued customers another reason to stay by them, Navigon now offers free real-time traffic updates for life on a wide range of its new products beginning this autumn. These free updates will span high-end to entry level devices with price points starting at $229, according to the company.

Speaking on the occasion of the launch, the

Navigon's president for the Americas, Andreas Hetch, said "We see traffic updates as being critical to the core navigation experience and felt it was very important to make it available across the entire product portfolio."
