5 out of 5 stars Great!   October 6, 2008
C. Kelly (Lake Tahoe, CA)
Love my Garmin nuvi. It's reliable and fun and reasonably priced. I didn't want all the bells and whistles and didn't want to have to pay for them. With my Garmin nuvi, I didn't have to.


5 out of 5 stars The Garmin 200 is awesome   October 5, 2008
Marge Stevenson (Pigeon, Michigan)
I bought this Garmin for my husband's birthday. He works as an inspector for the county, traveling on many back roads. He said it has helped him a lot. However it does take him at times on dirt roads when the next road would be paved.
I found it very helpful to read these reviews as I was very conscious that we had an up to date map. I followed the prompts and was very pleased that the Garmin we recieved had a 2009 map.



4 out of 5 stars Garmin nuvi 200   October 3, 2008
Journeyman for Jesus

I found the Garmin Nuvi 200 to be exactly as advertised. This GPS unit is easy to use,and has everything that is nessasary for a great entry level GPS.
I recomend this product to any one who finds some electronic devises to be confuseing. The price of a refurbished one makes this a real deal. We got this GPS as a back up to our DeLorme Earthmate LT-20 laptop GPS, but have decided to use that as a back up and keep the Garmin as our main one in our motorhome,the plus is that it is very mobil and can quickly find your destination. Other reviews criticise a few more seconds of time that they say it takes to find the Satelites, but at this price I don't find that to be a problem I have more time than money. I would recomendGarmin nuevi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigatorthis to my friends.



5 out of 5 stars Great for LA!!!!!!!!   October 2, 2008
Michael D. Jones (Pasadena, CA)
I love this GPS - it is easy to use and with the traffic in LA & surrounding areas this is a NECESSITY!! I bought it from an Independent Seller Brand new instead of one of the Official Logo & got a GREAT deal, very happy. I recommend that if you buy look all the way to the bottom of that screen, past the Logo Sellers & select an Independent Seller based on their RATING and PRICE!!!!


5 out of 5 stars Great buy   September 30, 2008
MBH (Alabama)
This is a great product. I can't imagine why you would spend more money. This little device does everything I need. My daughter plays in the band at school and I have been using to get to and from every football game in small towns throughout the state. It has been great!
