Customer Reviews
Navibe GM720 and MS MapPoint 2009 make a great combination!
I purchased the Navibe GM720 without having much prior knowledge of USB GPS units and finding very little in regards to customer reviews/feedback of the unit.
My Navibe GM720 is connected to my laptop which runs Microsoft MapPoint 2009. In my line of work I'm on the road all the time and constantly find myself in places which I am not familiar. Previously, I relied on Google Maps on my cell phone for directions. This worked well except for the small screen and lack voice directions.
A recent trip found me in Fairbanks, Alaska in temps around -15F. The Navibe GM720 was on top of my van overnight even though the laptop was taken into the hotel room. The next morning, I connected it to my laptop and by the time the MapPoint software loaded my map the GPS had already locked onto 9 satellites and was correctly reporting my location.
This unit is fast, sleek and reliable. I love it!
NOTE: One thing that I haven't seen advertised on this unit is that it does have magnet mouting. This would be important for people who plan on using it in close proximity to their laptop.
