Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 200 is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 3.8 x 2.8 x .8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 5.2 ounces. The nüvi 200's 3.5-inch (diagonal) display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.

Navigate with Ease
nüvi comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, including a hefty database of more than 6 milliong points of interest (POIs), such as hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more, that are searchable by name or category. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nüvi accepts custom (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Summary: Perfect for the price range!
Comment: This is the first GPS unit that I have ever owned and it worked great! I use this for work routes and it helps a lot. You can input a route and it will give multiple ways to get there by just clicking the detour button. Also, It will power up when you start the car and power down when you turn off your car. In addition, it is expandable with an SD card bay. Overall, the best thing about this unit is that it clips on and off to the mount easily and can carry it around in your pocket to take in other cars. The battery lasts long too!

Comment: Garmin nüvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

This is probably the best GPS Navigator for the budget minded user. The only drawback would be updating the maps but that would go for any GPS Navigation devise. I would not recommend the mount to windshield that comes with the unit as over time, it will fall off and the glue is not easy to removed from the windshield. Garmin does make a free standing mount that is weighted so it can be used on any dashboard. The cost is around $40. My one big complaint that sometimes the voice that tell you to turn may tell you too soon or two late if the desired turn is within a hundred feet of another street, ramp, or intersection.

Summary: I like it, but...
Comment: This little gadget has been very helpful lately. We moved to a new area and we have heavily relied on it's wisdom. The only problem I have with it is the search feature. It seems to take a long time pull up a list. For example if you ask for nearby food options it takes a LONG time to compile said list. But otherwise it's fab, and we're really glad we have it.

Summary: Works Well Enough to Get You There
Comment: This GPS was really simple to setup and to use. The only problem that we have is that the whole subdivision where we live is on maps at least 35 years ago. I don't know where they get their maps sometimes but over 35 years ago, the roads were different where we live and that's how this GPS has them. Our road was a more recent addition so it isn't even on the GPS. Luckily we can figure out how to get out of the subdivision on our own but its just aggravating that its wrong. Some of the names in our city have been changed a few years ago and they have the old names on the Garmin instead of the new ones.

But I really like that if you are somewhere you can find places to eat and shop. When you are on the interstate, sometimes the best places to stop are a little further down the road and you wouldn't know without the Garmin or a book like The Next Exit which we still carry because we have a diesel truck and we need to know who has diesel and not just where the gas stations are. The Garmin doesn't give detailed information about places, just a list of them and addresses. And of course the directions to them. If you travel along interstates alot (we are RVers so we do) I recommend that book very highly to go along with your GPS.

Information for people that may not have used a GPS system before and be familiar with is that you do need to know the exact address to a place to receive accurate directions. Sometimes we may just know the street name and not the exact address and you can run into problems finding it still. That seems like common sense but so many times you don't know the address and that's when you want to use this thing because you don't know where you are going. But we have found the turn by turn directions pretty accurate.

Overall, good system for the price.

Summary: Does what it is supposed to do, and well.
Comment: Easy to set up and use right out of the box. It came with the 2008 maps loaded. When I registered it, I received a message indicating I was eligible for a free download the 2009 maps. Garmin doesn't include a mini-USB cable with the unit, so I had to purchase one before I was able to download the map update, a minor inconvenience. We've used the Garmin on several trips by car, and also on foot, and it worked well. We are very happy with this purchase.
