 Super easy to use November 27, 2007
Bought this for some road trips. First trip to Monterey was flawless. Excellent interface, didn't have to open the user guide. Got to Hyatt w/o a hitch. During conference, it found some great Chinese and Deli's close...saved time since only had an hour for lunch - could pick options closest to location. Also gave me a more direct route to places I already knew about in San Jose. Also very happy that Garmin has the newest 2008 Navteq maps included.
Can't wait to use it for a road trip to San Diego using backroads. Default voice volume a little loud but easily changed. Start-up pretty fast and found satellites no problem. Wife feels safer knowing she won't get lost. Time saver to know what lane to be in to enter highway or go through interchange. Named GPS Gertrude...would buy again in a second.
Easy to use right out of the box November 26, 2007

After charging via the USB cord it only took a few minutes to find the satellite positioning and was ready to go. Was very impressed by the accuracy of the directions and timing of the turns. Really great size for portability and moving from car to car. First GPS system we have bought and think it is great.
 Not good November 26, 2007
I really hate to say bad things about products. I am an easy customer, but this product is not good. When you search an address, first it gives you directions. When you start traveling, it starts "recalculating" loop after few seconds or minutes later. After 2-3 recalculations, it gives you another route (some of the recalculations are completely inaccurate).
The frequency of this silly recalculations are high. I also have Garmin 60CSX. 60 CSX is not a specifically designed for car navigation, but it never makes mistakes, and it is pretty reliable.
I believe, the antenna of this product is not strong enough or there is a bug on it's software.
In the middle of interstate highway, suddenly it stops navigating and starts recalculation. You may be physically 5 miles away from the first available exit, but after it's recalculation, it comes up with a really funny recommendations, like turn sharp left immediately (if you do it, you definitely hit the barriers).
On the other hand, you start predicting when it makes mistakes. I drove from Cincinnati to Boston, and I found my way with it. (After 50 recalculations).
This is an annoying machine, but it still works.
Simple, Compact, Inexpensive...Love it! November 23, 2007

I had been wanting a GPS for a while, but prices had been prohibitive. I picked up one of these on Black Friday for $170 at Best Buy, and I absolutely love it. It is easy to use and works very well, both in my pocket and in my car. I don't care about having MP3, Bluetooth, or any fancy stuff, so this basic model is fine. It gets the job done better than any other brand. Highly recommended.
Best thing since sliced bread! November 23, 2007

Bought the Nuvi 200 after researching on the internet. Used it on a golf trip to Phoenix with the guys. It works great and is very intuitive. Never bothered to read the instructions. Found all of our golf courses without any problems. Much better than trying to use printed instructions from Mapquest etc. Good battery life. Only oddity I found was that the unit does not realize where you are located and adjust the time accordingly like your cell does. Not a big issue though. Would definitely recommend this product.
