What is it:
Feature-packed 4.3-inch widescreen sat-nav

Typical price:
£280

We like:
Design, safety features, map detail, voice recognition, TMC Pro

We don't like:
Slow route recalculations, smart-speller, limited 3D landmarks

The judgement:
The 7210 packs in many features from its predecessor, the top-of-the-range 8110, such as the voice recognition, text-to-speech and traffic updates. But what makes the 7210 unique is its own refinements and design enhancements. While this sat-nav is still not cheap or as technically polished as some, it provides a useful alternative for consumers and certainly warrants consideration.
