I was lucky enough to find an older (2002) Harman Kardin Traffic Pro for a great price. It looks identical to my CDR 220 except when the display is illuminated (there is much more info squeezed into the HK display) and gave me a reason to ditch the stink'in cup holders as I moved the climate controls to to top position on the dash.

For being 5 plus years old, the map data has not failed me yet. The only thing I do not like is that each time you want to navigate to a destination, the map CD must be inserted, which is a pain of you have a music CD in the drive. It reminds me of the early IBM PC's that you had to keep shuffling the 8 inch floppy discs to keep the machine running (no hard drive and miniscule RAM).

I do want to see if there are updated map CD's as the software is Navteq, a trusted source for marine navigation. I'll let ya know if I find anything.

Overall a great addition for my needs and does not draw a lot of attention to my stuff inside for the criminally inclined.
