Garmin nuvi 200W

Pros: When it actually worked it was a dream.

Cons: 3 month life expectancy. Worse than zero customer service support.

Review: Complete piece of junk. Bought it in Dec. It died in March. Walmart said my in store warranty was useless until AFTER the year long manufacturer warranty expired. Garmin couldn't careless. Have sent them two faxes which they claim got lost, never...

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...

Pros: Easy to use touch screen, Simple menus, voice directions, stores and views photos.

Cons: the screen may be a bit small and no traffic alerts

Review: I travel frequently for work and GPS has made my life easier. I know there are several to pick from and all have most have many good feature that often come with a higher price tag. The 200 series seems to be the lower cost model and runs a little...

Pros: Clear to read and voice loud enough to hear.

Cons: Doesn't name streets or have real time traffic report.

The Bottom Line: For the price of the unit I would recommend the Garmin nuvi 200w for normal travel use.

Review: I purchased the Garmin 200w nuvi after I had bought one for my husband about two months ago, his was not the larger screen though. I have had mine for just about one month now and I am pleased with it so far. I wanted one with a larger screen and...

Pros: SIZE, COLOR AND ACCURACY OF THE MAP AND I LIKE THE TOUCH SCREEN CAPABILITY.

Cons: JUST DONT LIKE THE HARD TO SEE AND USE POWER BUTTON.

Review: GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS. TRIED IT OUT AND FOUND IT TO BE REAL GOOD. HAD IT TAKE ME TO COSTCO AND IT DID A LITTLE INDIRECTLY BECAUSE IT STAYED ON (VERY MAIN STREAM) ROADS. I DONT CARE FOR
THE ODD SLIDER TYPE POWER BUTTON THAT LOCKS THE SCREEN IF...

Pros: Easy to use. Nice size.

Cons: No Canada maps, Satellite connection slow.

The Bottom Line: If you are planning trips for the US only, this is a great product!

Review: I found this unit very easy to use right out of the box. My son has become quite the handy co-pilot by entering in an address for me without any directions on how to do it. (He likes the feature of changing the arrow to a car or a monster truck) I...

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...

Pros: none

Cons: Does not include Canada. You have to buy a $75 memory card to get Canada.

The Bottom Line: I don't recommend this unit because it will cost you an additional $75 for an add on memory card, if you travel across the border.

Review: I was torn between buying a Tom Tom that is of similar capabilities and price as the Nuvi 200W.
I know that Garmin is probably the leader of this new market of portable GPS units because they have been a long time standard in the marine...
