 Great, Simple GPS December 11, 2007
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is a great GPS! I use it in my patrol car as a Deputy Sheriff. I enter and navigate to well over a dozen different addresses every day. I have only found a few instances where the map showed a road thru that wasn't there and those were recent road changes ( <6 months since the change).
The reasons I didn't give it 5 stars:
1. The on screen keyboard is permanently stuck in ABCDE format. I really wish it could be changed to QWERTY style since thats what most people are used to. The TomTom's can do this and so can the really high end Garmins. Seems like a relatively simple software update.
2. The distance to turn seems a little off. For example, it will say "turn in 90 feet" while I am two car lengths back from the intersection. Not sure if this is a deficiency of the GPS receiver or the software. Its not really a big deal most of the time since roads are geneally separated by enough distance that its obvious.
If you are considering the significantly more expensive nuvi 350, then I suggest you determine how important the speaking of street names and the 'traval assistant' stuff really is. For me, it wasn't worth the extra couple of hundred dollars.
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the 200W.

Highs: Gorgeous screen, simple & easy-to-use, solid navigation, POI's, sleek design, clutterless mount.
Lows: Lacks many features, USB cable (needed for updates) not included.
Bottom Line: If you want a sweet-looking GPS system for a price that won't break the bank you'll be pleased with the 200W.
 Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! December 9, 2007

After doing alot of research on gps units, I picked up 2 Garmin 200W's. Like most people I looked at negative feed back to see what issues might come up upon my purchase. All I can say is anyone with a problem with this product either lives in a bad area for satelite reception or is just plain picky enough to find fault with anything. This thing performs like a champ straight out of the box and i wouldnt change one thing about it. Don't hesitate to buy this gps because of other peoples issues, because if your're like most of us you wont find a single problem with it. Buy it!
 Thumbs Down December 9, 2007

I have had this product one week now and have several complaints. First is the time it takes to aquire the satellites, for 1 to 8 minutes. Next is the accuracy. I have found multiple times that the unit will tell you that you are at your destination but tells you it is on the opposite side on the street. It tries to send you down one way streets the wrong way. It is very slow recalculating directions.
A relative has a TomTom One that does a much better job.
Quality GPS unit December 9, 2007

Garmin's Nuvi line are some of the simplest and best navigation units. If you can find a deal on one there is little reason to shop for another brand. Very satisfied with the purchase. Don't need any of the fancy extras that will boost the cost a hundred bucks or so.
