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 RVs, semi-trucks, and buses, it is a premium automotive unit that comes preloaded with City Navigator NT detailed maps of North America. With the purchase of an optional sensor (not included), the unit notifies the driver of accidents, road construction and weather-related traffic delays before they are encountered (requires subscription, traffic service only for select cities where coverage exists). Either of two optional purchase sensors can provide these features, the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic sensor or the GXM 30 Smart Antenna (separate purchase required). In addition to traffic data, the GXM 30 provides real-time satellite weather information. The 7200 model features all of Garmin's well-known GPS functions, including intuitive navigation and automatic route calculation; voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions; 2D or 3D map view; and automatic rerouting if a motorist strays off course. With its POI Loader software, users can load custom points-of-interest such as school zones or safety cameras. The StreetPilot 7200 also includes entertainment options, including an internal MP3 player, XM radio, and playback of audio books. The built-in MP3 player lets users browse music by artist, album, song, or genre. The XM Radio (with the optional GXM 30 Smart Antenna and XM Satellite Radio subscription - not included) features 150-plus channels of commercial-free entertainment. The StreetPilot 7200 is also compatible with www.audible.com, a subscription-based audio book service. The face of the StreetPilot 7200 only has one button, an on/off switch. Using simplicity to manage complexity is a hallmark of the quality from Garmin, the premier maker of GPS products.

Nice big screen, but doesn't find all locations
I bought a Garmin StreetPilot 7200 for my elderly parents. It has a nice big screen which makes it easy for my parents to use (ie. their vision and coordination isn't so good). The big screen is definitely a win.
But they occasionally called me to tell me the 7200 wasn't finding locations that they wanted to navigate to. I assumed it was just user error until I tried it. When they enter "Kernan Hospital" or "Kernan Drive" near Baltimore, the 7200 couldn't find it. Even though these two locations are clearly in the database (they show up on the map if you manually zoom to the location).[...]
I contacted Garmin and they sent me a form-letter saying thanks for finding the bug with our maps database data. Since my parents reported this sort of problem for several well known locations in the Baltimore area, this makes me wonder what percentage of locations are not findable by the 7200?
In anycase, since the 7200 can't find the hospital that my parents need to go to, I'm going to return it.
One other small note. I couldn't find a bean-bag style friction mount for this Garmin, probably because it's so large. I had to by another beanbag mount and manually drill holes to mount the 7200 onto it. Definitely a hassle.
