great entry-level gps I received this as a gift last year, and after a year of use, I give it an unqualified thumbs up. I used this on several long distance road trips, traveling well over a thousand miles each time, without once consulting my road atlas. I can only remember one glitch and the unit got me back on track without too much trouble. Although street names are not spoken, the directions, voice, etc are all clear, and locks onto the maps very quickly. It was very helpful in planning out my route and deciding where to make our stops. The unit is lightweight and I carry it in my purse.
My one big caveat is to check your maps and make sure you update them immediately, if necessary. I think Garmin will only allow the free update within 30 days of purchase. Although the 200 was purchased in July 2008, the maps were not up to date (2006 maps) and I ran into problems updating them on Garmin's website and then forgot. By the time I remembered, it was no longer free, and it just wasn't worth the cost to me.
Not enough memory Very poor product. The unit does not have enough memory for updated maps. Buy a TomTom instead.
Exceptional Product I am extremely pleased with my Garmin nuvi 200. I never thought it could be so useful to me since I'm retired and don't travel much. I was wrong! The is wonderful: when I travel, go to an unknown address, or need a map. The seller was exceptional, as well. My item was delived promptly and in perfect condition. Thanks for your servce.
Old maps in new device I'm very disappointed to find that the maps in my newly purchased Garmin nuvi are over a year old. This is according to device itself, which informed me that new maps are available for purchase. Other than this huge disappointment, I love the device.
review garmin 200 This was the ideal gift for my daughter that has to do a lot of traveling in her job. Simple to operate, up to date maps, touch screen. great gift, she loves it.
