This product is easy to use, accurate, and really quite fun! It has saved me MANY times in the DC Metro area and beyond. It does everything I would ever need it to do!

 Garmin Nuvi 200 October 23, 2007
I highly recommend the Garmin nuvi 200, especially for beginners. I had very little previous experience with GPS systems before purchasing the Garmin. It is easy to use, small enough to keep in a pocket or purse, and reasonably accurate. The first use was to find a wedding in another state. Nuvi took us right to the door or the church. She "recalculates" rather quickly if you take a wrong turn. We have found a few times where the map may look a little inaccurate but we ultimately get to where we need to be. The voice command is worth the extra money.
 Garmin Customer Service STINKS - BEWARE! October 23, 2007

I purchased this little device about 2 months ago and I have had nothing but problems with it. The biggest problem is that the charger doesn't work in my SUV in either power adapter. In my other car, it works, but if you bump it, the screen changes to a notice that it lost power and asks you to choose to stay on battery or turn off. Very inconvenient while driving. My cup holder in my car is right below the power adapter, so this happens all of the time. The connection is VERY tight and scratches the adapter every time I pull it out. I called Garmin about this.
WOW. It takes no less than 30 minutes on hold to get to a human (I've done this 3 times now). On the first call, I was told that this is a known problem, he documented what types of vehicle(model and year) that I had, and sent me out another adapter to see if it made a difference. It didn't. I even went to a store and purchased a splitter (to turn 1 outlet into 2) and it wouldn't work with that either.
So- I call in again to see there is any other option or if another model of Nuvi has a different adapter and another 30 min. on hold. I told them that I desperately wanted to make this work but without power, this will be useless. I offered to purchase an adapter to turn my car adapter into a regular wall-type outlet...the representative said "No- we don't want you to have to do that...we don't have them here, but I can go out and get one and send it to you, along with the adapter to connect the Nuvi to a wall outlet." WOW I'm thinking to myself. GREAT customer service, right? NO! Lies!
2 weeks later and nothing in the mail. I call back. Again. 35 min. later I'm told that they have no record of me talking with the 2nd person (convenient!). The rep proceeds to tell me that they would never do something like that for a customer. SO I ask if he can at least send the power to wall adapter, and I'll get the one for turning the car outlet into a wall outlet. SURE he says. Guess what?? LIES again. Almost 2 weeks later and still nothing in the mail.
OH- and I frequently sit on "Acquiring Satellites" for as long as 15 minutes (and I live in the metropolitain Washington DC area, have the GPS on the dash with no obstructions), so you need to make sure you have signal before you actually start driving. Garmin said that it shouldn't be doing that, but offered no solution or assistance on that either.
OVERALL- I'd recommend buying a different brand. The customer service alone is worth avoiding this. Because I ordered online, I now (with all of the time elapsed in trying to work this out with Garmin) cannot return this. Beware.
