Well although many GPS manufacturers seem to be engrossing in the tactics to get the extra honey out of the minor feature updates and monthly subscription fees, Navigon is certainly going for the jugular with the new 2200T.

What’s more the 3.5-inch-screened nav device offers up free real-time traffic updates for life (a service that usually will run you $10 a month) in addition to fun stuff like Reality View Pro (3D images and actual road sign text), Lane Assist Pro and text-to-speech, all for a meagre $229.

Three years of map updates will cost you somewhere around $80, but the built-in maps for US and Canada should get you pretty far. No word though on when this will hit stores, but it seems it will pretty soon.
