Default Garmin 7100 vs. Nuvi 850

I notice the 7100 being sold at less than $500. The 850 is supposedly coming out at around $800. I would appreciate hearing anyones opinion on which one of these is the better value. I have a Ford Expedition and I THINK the 7100 would fit.
Thanks,
Mike Flannigan

I am not sure what the 7100 is. I looked at the 7200 but was concerned with the low resolution for that size screen. You can do a comparison of these units on the Garmin site.

Thanks ! To my knowledge, the 7200 is the same as the 7100 + a couple of features.

Maybe you were looking at the Navigon 7100. It is in that price range.

Reviews on that unit are so-so. See, for example:
