I have the Navigon 2100, and love it. Accurate direction, and the Reality View is very helpful.
I have used the following GPS....Navigon 2100, Garmin Nuvi750, HP iPaq 310. Listed in order of preference.

I haven't used this model, but Consumer Reports ranks it 25th out of 29 units tested. Overall score of 54/100...plus 'refurb' For 30 bucks more, I would get a new Garmin 265t or 760.

I have the 7000 (paid 250 for it 7 mo ago).
Free lifetime traffic: traffic information sucks and it doesn't do anything with the data except have it available for reference ('there's traffic, do you think you should reroute?')
Slow as fark; you can't really browse maps because the loading time is so horrible with scrolling the maps
VERY limited customization, I wanted to throw mine away until I edited options on a script level.
POI's are nearly impossible to customise
Zagat: about its only good feature and even it has some very basic problems with ease of use

Ya, review say rerouting is too slow. it is ranked low out of the GPS's in the same class.

In my opinion the only traffic data that is worthwhile is real-time flow data. This isn't available in every city and/or every major street.
I don't know which this uses. Non-flow traffic is "incident" reporting which gets very stale very fast.
