Garmin Nuvi 200W Review

After living in New York City for 10 years, hopping on some train to get to some part of the city was such a mundane part of life that I never really appreciated it. Two months ago, my job required me to move to Boston, and in Boston I had my own car...

Garmin nuvi 200W review

UPDATE: A similar but newer model, the nuvi 205W, adds quite a few features, and has occasionally been selling for a little less than the 200W.

Garmin nüvi 200W Sat-Nav

Garmin recently added widescreens to its 200-series line-up so Jon took this one for a test drive.

Likewise, the maps, which cover UK and Ireland here (the 250w adds European maps) are extremely clear and easy to read; better than TomTom's or Mio's in my humble opinion. Initially they look a bit cartoon-like with their bright colours and thick...

GPS

It was cheap

I took this GPS out of the box, updated it and made sure it was fully charged. The first time I tried to use it it said "loading maps" and would never load. It would not even work. I returned it immediately

Garmin 200w

This is a very good unit it will get me around. The thing I like is you can program this one as you are moving and this happens to me often as a chauffeur when a customer decides to go some other place not in my direction. My other unit you must be at...

Nuvi 200W

I had a 1300W stolen so I wanted a cheap gps that worked nicely. This works nicely. Like I stated in cons it does not speak road names but I never have the volume up anyway because I don't rely on the gps all that much.

Cheap, and has many good features without being overly complicated

Does not speak road names, and not such a con but it does not scroll if you slide your finger through lists (just uses up and down touch arrows)

Works fine

Does everything I would want for this price range. Excellent buy. I tested this first on locations where I knew that way already. In some cases it gave me directions that I currently take after weeks of trial and error on my own. It figured out the...

Would like it to be more flexible, but for this price I can't complain
