The reality view is pretty cool looking, but not really very preactical or functional. When the unit swithces over to reality view, it's only a photo of the signs and it doesn't offer you your active travel. You have to wait until after you have passed the signs befor you can actually see your real position. It would be nice if reality view would be an overlay over the active travel view. Does anyone know if different voices can be uploaded to the SD card and changed? I have the 5100. The reality view is pretty cool looking, but not really very preactical or functional.

I have been trying to get an answer on the 1.5 hours on the battery as well. I have been testing a nuvi with the same size screen and it gets 3.7 hours. One of the points of it being handheld size is to occasionally use it for walking and the 7100 is no good at all for that. Look for upgrades to batteries especially before you consider buying!

Pretty but has problems. If you deviate from your route it will add miles in the wrong direction in order to get you back on it's route. Must have 20/20 vision to read the beautiful screen. Swivel holder became loose after on/off a few times. Battery would only last 1.5 hours so I had to keep it constanly plugged in. I tested it for one week against my 360 Nuvi and found the Nuvi to be much better in routing. If you want pretty get the 7100, but wait until Navigon fixes their bugs. Alot of reviewers have only gotten 2gb cards when they should have 4gb and Navigon hasn't helped them. I returned my 7100. Pretty but has problems.
