Garmin nuvi 200W Car GPS Receiver

Pros: Runs without power cable, bright screen, lots of POIs and voice directions
Cons: On screen indicator not always distinguishable, not good when avoid highway

We've been hesitant to get a GPS because we don't go out of town frequently and we already know the roads in our neighborhood..then came Christmas and the Garmin nuvi 200w came to us as a gift.The GPS was easy to setup right out of the box, just ...

Pros: Easy to use, Quick Start, Big Screen
Cons: I have yet to find any

I was always talking about going and getting a GPS System but I could never actually put out the money and pay for one of those fancy digital maps. I was hoping to be able to wait till I gone out of state or something, but I started up a new class which ...

Pros: Simple to use. Additional features are helpful and fun. Cost is decent. We are pleased.
Cons: Wish it had more voices - such as Sean Connery's.

I had no interest. Zip.Nada.But Garmin's catchy Christmas jingle caught my attention -especially the one with the moose. (I like "mooses".) Plus darling hubby was pining for one -- (not a moose, a GPS). And we had a family reunion in ...

Pros: Up to date maps, voice directions, preloaded business addresses with more downloads available.
Cons: None that we've found so far.

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)

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: bright screen, fast fixes, loud clear voice, 6 mill points of interest, intuitive to use
Cons: irritating auto zoom, lack of map detail, no distance to next exit, no scale

Positives: huge 4.3 inch screen, superbright, easy to read in direct Alabama summer sunlight while wearing sunglasses, very pleasing night color scheme, fast initial fix (except one mysterious evening when I was leaving the Atlanta airport to get on I-85 ...

Pros: Many happy journeys with ease just by putting in an address.
Cons: Wished I had found this when we started RVing.

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: Voice guided, swivel suction cradle, and nice screen colors.
Cons: No standard charger comes in kit, only the car charger is included.

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: none
Cons: Does not include Canada. You have to buy a $75 memory card to get Canada.

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 industry. The ...

Pros: Simple to use, very accurate.
Cons: None found so far!!

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: Clear to read and voice loud enough to hear.
Cons: Doesn't name streets or have real time traffic report.

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 for ...

Pros: quality gps, very good signal pickup, customizable, inexpensive
Cons: none really.

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: price, large screen, user friendly
Cons: no USB cord, but not really necessary, ability to speak street names

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: Great screen, very user friendly, can change characters, TONS of POIs
Cons: Sometimes you need to just use the map instead of the on-screen directions

The Garmin Nuvi 200 series; simple, cost efficient, helpful if you're completely lost... What can I say, I paid around $250 for this little guy and I got what I paid for, and that's not necessarily a bad thing in this case. Sure it's not the most ...

Pros: portable, inexpensive, easy to use, saves ink & paper
Cons: maps not always accurate

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 ...
