2.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea that is not quite half way there., February 19, 2009

The Worldnav Teletype 7200 series is a great idea. It is way over stated by the manufacturer. If you haul hazmat or over sized loads, this unit "may" be of benefit. Otherwise, go with a better known more feature packed unit like the Garmin or high end Magellan's. The address search is very cumbersome, the built in auto select feature is way out of wack. Usually not even in the same state.

It does have a totally useless USB interface. I have not been able to find a single ability in the unit that uses the USB. You are locked into using the old slow low capacity SD's. They require you to use their proprietary cards and you're ability to add music, ebooks or movies is very limited. The way it is set up, you pretty much have to have several low capacity cards and you have to change them whenever you want to switch from GPS modes to the entertainment modes.

To be brutally honest, with exception to the larger screen, this unit doesn't even begin to compare with a DUAL stereo/gps unit I bought at Walmart for under [.........]. You should save your money until these guys get a clue about what technology is actually about.

Teletype 720060 7-Inch Worldnav Truck Portable GPS Navigator

We thought we'd done our research, and chose to believe the positive reviews (about 50%) Big mistake. The graphics are primitive and dark, it's difficult to leave the map, do some searching and return to the map without potentially losing your route. Some common sense locations are missing or almost impossible to find: i.e., "Rest Areas"!!! The find features are cumbersome and it's difficult to guess what clues they want in order to provide the information you need. We chose to keep rather than pay a 15% restocking fee, even though we knew immediately out of the box that this was way overpriced and over stated. Our disappointment is huge, and if we could give a rating of less than one star we would. We ran it at the same time to compare with our other GPS (TomTom - also NOT recommended) and between the two, TomTom is better. The customer service people are pleasant and try, but even though we called immediately upon receipt trying to ship it right back, they wouldn't wave the restocking fee. We should have just paid it and taken the $90 hit. It would have been cheaper than keeping what I consider an inferior and highly overpriced product.

But neither can even be spoken of in the same breath as our new Garmin 255W. Heads and shoulders above both. For bridge heights/trucking compatibility - wait for the Garmin 465T due out the second quarter of 2009. We will buy as soon as available for RV'g, and sell the WorldNav on ebay.

im a commercial truck driver that delivers hazardous materials. I bought this product thinking it would help, but became a total nightmare. The minute I received the gps the sd card was corrupted so they needed to send me a new one. The device is extremely slow and is not accurate at all. I would not recommend this product to anyone else especially truck drivers. I return it in 3 weeks
