 Almost perfect January 9, 2009
Michael R. Blair (MA, USA)
Good design, easy to use, and very handy. It has what you need to get from here to there without a lot of the extras that add price but don't add a lot of functionality. This is a benchmark of entry level navigation.
 Works Well, Simple, Cheap, Portable, Refurb January 8, 2009
Steven Allen
Needed GPS for occasional use - most have fixed batteries don't want too much committed. Had seen my son use his and went after the least-expensive model. It does quite well, generally finding satellites in a couple of minutes outside, especially if you had let it track to where you now are. Doesn't come with printed manual (not even when new), but can download PDF from Garmin - it has a "quick-start" leaflet. Registering it with Garmin got an immediate, free F/W update. Device attaches to computer (and charges) through normal mini-USB cord, showing as storage device. Update was a bit of a problem because device did not have enough free memory. It seemed to not be able to use the SD card I had added, so deleted a number of other language files: Finish, Norwegian, etc. which freed enough to work. Don't know what happens in future updates. Away from charging, battery lasts a couple of hours.
If you deviate from route it furnished, it first warns and tries to get you back to it, but then starts recalculating without manual intervention, accomodating what you may have chosen from better knowledge.
I like the voice prompts, my son doesn't. Generally position it on gear-shift console and bring it in out of the cold. Suggest you use it oven known routes to get yourself familiar with device before you really need it! If it's being handled, lock it so touching the screen doesn't modify your settings. Seems capable of only one Waypoint (Viapoint) per destination.
Nice gadget!
 BUYER BEWARE: MEXICO MAPS VERY VERY SPARSE January 7, 2009
Jenny (greater Boston area)
We just received this GPS. We ordered this specific GPS because it has maps of Mexico. HOWEVER . . . While a fine GPS that seems to function just as it should, and this GPS does indeed have what GPS maps for Mexico are available -- BUYER BEWARE! . . . Garmin's maps of Mexico are SPARSE. We'll be staying on the Riviera Maya in a touristy town listed in every guidebook -- it's not even ON the GPS map! We were hoping to take the with us so that we could day-trip and explore -- not going to be possible this way!
So, just know what you're buying. We thought we did. Oh well.
Great Product for this Price January 4, 2009
Y. Tang (US)
After using it for several month, I am satisfied with this product. However, the only downside has to be the acquiring satellite time, which can take up to 10 mins especially during weekends. If you don't mind sitting inside your car waiting for a signal during hot summer or cold winter, then this is a great product for you. On the other hand, a TOMTOM GPS usually takes less than 30 secs to acquire satellite. Nevertheless, the TOMTOM does very bad in telling directions (When I say very bad, I meant it). Overall, I think this small GPS indeed worth the original price. After using both Garmin GPS and TOMTOM GPS, I would recommend the Garmin ones because they are dsigned to give drivers an accurate dirction, which TOMTOM GPS falls way behind.
P.S. The car mount that included in this package was very easy to use and I loved it!
Nice GPS for Cheap!!! January 2, 2009
Kevin S. Liberatore (Centerville, OH USA)
I want to further comment on the Nuvi 200. I just received this as a X-mas gift and am very happy with it. Great unit for such a great price. I think the best feature is the 'recalculate' feature. When putting in an address and make a wrong turn, the Nuvi is great and FAST at recalculating directions within a second or two once making a wrong turn. I was surprised for a $100 unit, how incredibly quick it got me turned around and/or found a new route to my destination.
Great GPS unit!!!
Rated 5/5 for price and functionalibility!!!!
