It's the StreetPilot 7200, it runs for $1350CND + tax. I could definately use one of those
Garmin units keep their value well. I always end up selling my old units off on eBay for a decent price to finance my new Garmin purchases. My Streetpilot 2720 was financed with the purchase of a GPSMap 76S and the Streetpilot III. We own other Garmin units -- for aviation, mountain and road biking, and hiking/geocaching. (And in the interest of full disclosure, we are Garmin shareholders, though not a lot of shares.)

Did you buy and use the optional traffic data unit that interfaces with the Streetpilot 2720? Most of my commuting and driving is not in areas where I'd use that (vs. just looking ahead and going, "Oh no, not again..." but if you have and use it, I'd be interested in hearing your experiences with it.
