nuvi 200W

Pros: Up to date maps, voice directions, preloaded business addresses with more downloads available.

Cons: None that we've found so far.

The Bottom Line: For the price, this series is great for the vacationer and traveling business person. In fact, this does everything we need it to and more!

Review: This is our first GPS system and we used it for a trip from Northeastern PA to Sandusky, OH. We nicnamed it "Lola" same as Robin Williams in the RV movie. One thing I love about this system is that she actually tells you what lane to be in when ...

Pros: small, efficient design. Everything you need in a GPS.

Cons: the voice doesn't read the street names (but available in higher end models)

The Bottom Line: The perfect affordable GPS - everything you buy a GPS for, without some of the fluff found in higher-end models

Review: This is my first GPS. I have known relatives and friends with GPS devices, from the original mount-on-dash type to the newest voice activated, custom installed units. I finally decided to join them, and get my own GPS navigation unit in early January, ...

Pros: quality gps, very good signal pickup, customizable, inexpensive

Cons: none really.

The Bottom Line: If you do not know much about GPS - buy this one. Ease of use, quality, and price make this product hard to beat.

Review: I got this GPS at a very interesting time in my life. I was traveling 2000 miles across the country when I ran into a snowstorm in upstate NY. While in lodging for a few days I shopped around for a GPS. I was far away from home, and being less than a ...

Pros: Many happy journeys with ease just by putting in an address.

Cons: Wished I had found this when we started RVing.

The Bottom Line: Inexpensive, easy to carry, and an invaluable tool.

Review: Fantastic! We are Rvers and travel all over the country. This device has saved our marriage. I was in charge of getting us from point a to b and I hate reading maps. When you have an RV you can't turn around when you make a mistake in the directions as ...

Pros: Simple to use, very accurate.

Cons: None found so far!!

The Bottom Line: If you want basic, simple navigation, this is the device for you.

Review: I bought this device on sale for $138 at Cabellas (yes, a sale at Cabellas!). I have a friend at the office who has owned GPS navigation devices since they first came out and he highly recommended the Garmin brand. He was absolutely correct! I travel ...

Pros: portable, inexpensive, easy to use, saves ink & paper

Cons: maps not always accurate

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone, simply b/c it's friendly to the environment (no printed paper maps) plus it is easy to use.

Review: The GPS is a great device to have, especially if you are a frequent traveler. We are a military family, and we travel quite a bit. Our first time using the GPS was on a trip to South Carolina. The GPS was easy to program, and like any electronic ...

Pros: price, large screen, user friendly

Cons: no USB cord, but not really necessary, ability to speak street names

The Bottom Line: Basically, the Garmin has everything I could have imagined with a GPS unit and is manageable in terms of price as well

Review: After receiving the Garmin nuvi 200W as a present, I was somewhat reluctant. I never had used a GPS before so I did not know what to expect. When I opened the box, it came with a windshield mount, basic instructions, & a vehicle charging cable, basically ...

Pros: Voice guided, swivel suction cradle, and nice screen colors.

Cons: No standard charger comes in kit, only the car charger is included.

The Bottom Line: All you need if you are only going to used it to travel occasionally to different cities or find unfamiliar places in you own hometown.

Review: At first I was going to get a TomTom because they were on sale but changed my mind at the last minute when I was told that Garmin was the market leader. I am glad that I did. When I got home with it, I charged it a little and then turned it on to play ...

Pros: Extremely easy to use. Small, fits in pocket when walking.

Cons: Satellite acquisition somewhat slow.

Review: I travel frequently to Europe where 2000 years of road building planning - or more precisely the absence thereof - make a navigation system a must. As not all rental cars come with a navigation system, my wife bought me the Nuvi 200w which can be used ...

Pros: Technology really can make life easier

Cons: Dick Cheney knows where you're going

The Bottom Line: Great GPS unit - a solid performer

Review: When I got the Garmin nuvi 200W, it was a revelation. I didn't have a GPS installed in the dash of my car, but my husband did. The GPS in my husband's car doesn't even have a touch screen so you have to scroll through the alphabet with a dial ...
