 Garmin Nuvi 200 October 5, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My first GPS as I've been waiting for the prices to come down. The Nuvi 200 doesn't have all the features of higher priced models(MP3 player, bluetooth, etc.) but it does its job of navigation just as well as the higher priced models in the Garmin line.
At first I thought I really needed to have the text to voice option(the actual street name spoken vs. just turn left)which this model does not have. In reality it's not a big deal as the top of the screen shows you the name of the upcoming turn in large letters...so just a glance to the screen can quickly confirm the street/route name if indeed you really need to see it.
Size of unit is perfect, easily slips into pocket, yet no problem with entering destination on touch screen. Volume is loud enough to play radio with decent volume and still hear the Garmin's cues. Screen brightness is very good and battery life(should you decide to not use the supplied plug into your lighter outlet) is very good. I charge the unit with a USB cable from my computer as there is no supplied AC power adapter on this model. Unit charges up quickly with USB cable. Of course you can just plug it into your car's lighter power outlet and your good to go.
Only disappointment so far has been that some addresses do not show up on the updated maps(latest 2008 version shipped with my Nuvi)...such as Retirement community in a small town that's been there for almost 5 years, therefore the reason for 4 stars vs. 5 star rating.
The best GPS for the money September 30, 2007

I wanted to buy a GPS only for navigation, I didn't wanted MP3 player, traffic and weather updates, since they cost you monthly subscrptions. This is the BEST BEST you can get for the money! I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to spend a lot of cash and feel a need to have a GPS.
I really love it and NUVI is the answer! September 26, 2007

I bought it about a month ago and it works just perfect!
With the price I paid for this, I am more than satisfied.
Thanks NUVI 200!

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I took a driving vacation of over 3,000 miles and "she" never let me get lost. You can find motels, restaurants, points of interest, shopping. etc. You should not travel without one.
 Don't waste your $$$ on the Nuvi 200 - Buy a TomTom One instead! September 25, 2007

This overpriced product suffers from an awkward interface, a dim screen, and a very limited feature set. I also find the routing capabilities far too limiting.
I've traded in my 200 for a TomTom One and couldn't be more thrilled - it costs less (amazon running a blowout sale for $199), fits more easily in a pocket, and has bluetooth connectivity for handsfree calling. In addition it also has mapsharing capabilities which (theoretically) ensure that maps are constantly up to date, though I haven't had a chance to put that feature through its paces.
