 Nuvi's pretty good August 3, 2008
I really like this navigation system. The only problem is that it takes a LONG time to get a signal. I'm hoping that gets better.
Great Product for the Price. July 30, 2008
I was able to purchase a Nuvi 200w for under $150 after price matching local store flyers. I can tell you I am very happy with how well the 200w reacts. I regestered with garmin and they gave me an update for the system and FREE 2009 map update. This made me very pleased. The Nuvi was very fast at finding satalites until the product update, now it takes about 1-3 minutes on the initial start, but once I have been using the unit, it picks up within a few seconds. Having 6 million POI's is also a plus for me. As for the battery life... I was using the Nuvi for about 9 hours the other day, mostly in the car plugged in, but I did have it out of car for about 5 hours and had no issue with battery. The unit did a great job at finding the appropriate routes for me to take and even when I did take a detour (because I knew a shorter route) the Nuvi reconfigured very quickly and went with the flow. One other thing, having the Widescreen also makes it easier for us to see it.
 love the garmin nuvi 200w July 27, 2008
the product (garmin nuvi 200w) is exactly as described. received it in record breaking time! thank you!
 Aside from satellite connection problems, I am pleased July 25, 2008
I have been very pleased with this product, which the exception of satellite linkage. I have found that to make it work, I have to sit it on the dashboard before I leave my parking spot for a good 2-3 minutes (in addition to the time it takes for the start-up process) before it will acquire a satellite link. This means I have to account for an extra five minutes every time I am leaving to go somewhere that I need directions. If you leave before the satellites are acquired, forget about getting a signal for a good 20 min., if at all, at least in the greater DC area.
Once the satellites are acquired, it is rare that I have problems with it. Yes, my grocery store is not where it's supposed to be in the shopping center on the map and my home street is not on the maps yet, even though it is like three years old, but that's a software problem and I don't blame it on this particular model.
Other comments: Unless you drive like 10 miles over the speed limit, your arrival time is probably going to be a lot later than your estimate. I can leave my house with an estimate of arrival of say, 7:21 and going 10 miles over the speed limit, I usually end up arriving on or a few minutes after the estimate due to traffic lights. So, imagine how far off you'd be of you drove slower than me.
To the other reviewers, a lot of the problems I have seen mentioned may be due to your avoidances settings. You may get taken well out of your way if you are set to avoid traffic (took my parents on a bunch of backroads with this setting), avoid major highways, etc. Check your avoidance settings and your problems may be solved.

Thought it would be a nice product since I had garmin street pilot before. When it arrived, the outlook is nice but when u talk about Satellite, it's terrible. It takes forever to get the signal.....was not like that with Garmin Street Pilot.
