 Garmin nuvi review July 7, 2008
My family and I have been enjoying our new "toy". No more getting lost - although we seem to do a lot of "recalculating."

Bought it for a trip that we had never been on. Much easier to use than printed maps from mapquest. Lots of features. Good beginner model.
 Not very pleased July 2, 2008

I can't believe that the other people are talking about the same gps. It was hard to program and slow to respond. I saw the hourglass far more than any maps. The points of interest must not be in my area. It did not locate a Dunkin Donuts 3 blocks away and Hershey Lodge was a complete mystery. I previously had a Tom Tom But my daughter talked into giving it to her. I am returning this Garmin 200 and chalking it up to a lesson learned.
 Missing some simple things that disappoint June 28, 2008

Compared to my 5 year old basic MIO GPS, I thought I was buying something at least marginally more advanced, only to find that this product is missing some very basic things that I would expect on any GPS:
I was disappointed for the following reasons:
1 - No altitude data is available - Based on the way GPS works, this data is available once you see at least 4 satellites, so why the designers chose not to display it eludes me.
2 - Its difficult to see the actual STREET ADDRESS once you assign a name to it.
3 - Once you name a destination, it doesn't display the address as you approach the destination (I'm not even sure if it does even if you don't name it). This is really annoying as you start approaching a dense neighborhood and start wondering what house number you were going to.
4 - No option to search by ZIP code - I ran into some ambiguities which could have quickly been resolved by the ZIP code.
5 - Complicated to change the screen layout (from 3D to 2D or Directional) - no quick keys to change the display.
6 - If I choose to orient the display based on the direction of the car, one would think that at least somewhere on the map there should be an arrow pointing to North.
If you've never owned a GPS you might not wonder about these things but if you have, you'll be disappointed with the nuvi 200.
