 For the simple traveler December 27, 2007
I am a simple traveler so this is PERFECT for me. I get lost very very easily. This nuvi does the trick. Of course, it doesn't have new roads preloaded, but it gets me where I need to go. I love the voice directions. This is great for someone who needs an inexpensive gps.
Garmin Quality = Highly Recommended December 27, 2007
A great no frills portable GPS! Garmin's base model combines inovation and simplicity.
It's like having a phone book and a map of the United States right at your fingertips!
With a price of $170, it's hard to beat. If I was going to buy another one I would shell out the extra $50 for the 4.3" screen, it's a lot easier to see.
If you're looking for a simple navigation system that anyone (even grandma and grandpa) can use.....trust Garmin!
Excellent, for the price! December 26, 2007
A great GPS for the price. Bought two of these for less than other models. Does the job and can clearly hear the directions. The visual is as clear and easy to use, right out of the box.
 More than shortest route required December 26, 2007

I have one thing to add to the other reviews on the Garmin 200. Despite generally competent performance it tends to be VERY STUPID in picking certain routes. Apparently it goes for the shortest route without giving any weight or consideration to the nature of the roads themselves. Thus, going from Blacksburg, VA, to Roanoke, VA, it selects a narrow torturous
state road, which one drives at one's peril, especially at night, instead
of the fast, safe and efficient US 460 - Interstate 81 route which any informed person would take. I have been reluctant to put it on my wife's
vehicle for this reason.

I just received this product today. I ordered it in new condition but I believe it was used. The product came from the amazon returns center and when I opened the box, none of the pieces were wrapped in plastic. The main unit itself is a little scratched. I bought a case for it so it does not get scratched further.
Overall, I like this Garmin nuvi 200 much better than my tomtom. First, it is smaller and easier to put in your pocket or purse. The interface is much easier to use and the garmin has more options.
The features that I think the garmin excels in are the 3-D display, routing features, and the point of interest database. The display is very clear, easy to understand and this makes it easier to follow the directions given. The point of interest database is amazing compared to my tomtom. The garmin database has about 5 times the information than the tomtom making it much easier to find a destination (restaurant, gas station, etc.) that is near your location.
The only negative that I have found is that this garmin does not have the text to voice directions (does not announce street names). Newer garmin models have that feature.
