Great basic GPS Nav system I bought this Nav system for my parents. Both of them are retired and like to take trips and visit friends. They would always ask me to print Mapquest directions for wherever they were going but now with the Nuvi 200 they don't need to.
I went with the basic model because they are not very tech savvy and would not use the extra feature anyway. I guess the text to speech option would be nice for hearing the street names but they have found the device more than functional without it....

I have owned five Garmin gps over the years: aviation, hiking & car.
While the nuvi 200 doesn't have many of the detailed options the older 2650 has, it does have 95% of the functions most people would want & use in their car.
Plus side:
It's small, light & has a great, bright screen.
Has ALL of USA maps & po...

Not flawless, to be sure, but a what a world of difference it makes! And the few flaws it has, I strongly suspect, are shared by other units, both Garmin and competition. There's little in the upscale units I'd pay another $50 for, much less an additional $150 or $250 or more. This one will get you there just as well.
First of all, it has pretty much everything you need for a basic GPS. I HAVE an iPod, I HAVE a Bluetooth headset...

100% (19 of 19) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Garmin GPS Units Really Rock In a nutshell:
- Easy to use right out of the box.
- Touch screen is a blessing. The thumbwheel on the StreetPilots was fine, but the touch screen on these Nuvi's is much faster.
- Even this entry-level unit has a great database of points of interest.
- Excellent volume. Very loud.
- Very compact. Very portable.
- If you have vision issues, opt for a model with a larger screen.
- It would be nice if they supplied a carrying case. You might want to purcha...

100% (18 of 18) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | garmin gps nuvi 200 The GPS sent me to a resturant, the Boathouse, in Lindenhurst, NY that closed down in April 2005; a library in Camp Hill, PA that closed down over 5 years ago and to a dead end street in Sleepy Hollow for something else! Several times it would tell me to make a turn and when I would turn, it would say "recalculating". I called Garmin about this and they said that this sometimes happens. I wish I knew all the details of the GPS, I might've gone for the upgrade which allows you to choose scenic...

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Tiny. Though the skimpy manual does not mention USB, I was able to utilize a mini-USB cable that I had on-hand to charge the device initially though it is not operable when connected to the USB port. For the screen size, the interface is fairly usable, even in the car. The display is readable and not overly fancy. If you are looking for a low-end GPS you cannot go wro...

100% (13 of 13) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Nuvi 200 vs Maestro 3200 This is a solid entry level GPS from Garmin. After a week of testing the Nuvi 200 with a similar entry level GPS from Magellan--the Maestro 3200, I had a hard time deciding which one to keep. In the end, I went with the Nuvi, not because one is superiorly better than the other, but down to more personal preferences. Here are some positive and negative factors for each device:
Startup and Satellites Acquisition:
In my car, the Maestro takes 40 seconds from startup to acquiri...

Although Amazon had the best price around I had to pay a little more than my target. The unit arrived within a few days and is a good no-frills GPS that is very compact.
One problem I had was the unit not being able to hold a battery charge. It worked fine on...

98% (77 of 78) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Be careful! Some nuvi 200 have the old map. I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 200 from Amazon and expected it would come with the new map software (City Navigation North America NT version 2008) as others had received, but unfortunately, mine came with the old map (version 8). I called Garmin support and they wanted $75 more for the updated map. I'm very disappointed at Garmin's new marketing tactic because the last time I purchased the Street Pilot 2610, they provided me with the FREE update software within 30 days of the purchased date to bri...

I've had it for a month now and really can appreciate it. My model had the latest maps installed, and it was nice to find Garmin now supports Mac computers with their update software.
I tested it out on a couple of my normal routes, and while it doesn't have every back-alley and short-cut in it's database, it would get you where you are going, even if it's the long way around. It...
