Great Choice for a First GPS.......2008-01-02
My work requires extensive travel in the Western USA. I have had 2 other Garmin GPS units (an old StreetPilot and a Nuvi 350). I prefer the Nuvi 200 overall. It is simple but has the features you need in a GPS. While it doesn't have an MP3 player, etc., that isn't what I bought a GPS for anyway. Also does not say the street name but has voice directions. Also, battery seems to last longer than the 350. It also seems to calculate as fast as the 350. Like all Nuvi it is small and easy to take onto an airplane. My opinion is this is a great value, thus the 5 stars.
Favorite New Toy!.......2008-01-02
I just love my Garmin. I only used it a few times to places I knew because I just got it! IT is so neat. It tells you exactly where to go, and if you take a different route, it recaculates for you. It lets you know your est. arrival times, speed, roads that are approaching. I like the fact that it tells you what's ahead because where I live a lot of our roads don't even have street signs, and it tells you the road and where it is. It is My Favorite New toy. I can't wait to travel with it. With my Garmin, the possibilities are endless! I can go whereever I want!
It works!.......2008-01-01
This GPS works easily and reliably. You punch in the address where you're going -- an easy step. Then it instructs you how to get there. Watching its little map scroll by is fun.
If you miss a turn, or don't like the looks of a particular road it tells you to take, it re-calculates and helps you continue along.
In all, it does just as you'd want it to.
A great navigation GPS.......2007-12-31
The Garmin nuvi 200 is great for navigation purposes. The interface is simple and straightfoward. Even my parents were able to figure it out. I was impressed by how many points of interest it had and the detail and coverage of the maps that came with the unit.
If you need something to help you get around town and don't need an MP3 player and fancy stuff like that this it the unit for you. This unit might not be good for hiking. It only allows for a maximum of two waypoints and will not remember a path of where you've been.
Garmin 200Nuvi.......2007-12-31
This is #4 GPS in my possession, airplane, boat and 2 car. By far this is the best unit from a user friendly mode. It will get you there in the best manner possible. Jusst take a few minutes to review its features. I do have a built in, in my Subaru Tribeca-- terrible!!--it can never get me anywhere -- it actually gets lost!! I use the Garmin in that vehicle. Have driven from Fl. to Ct. to Canada to D.C. and always got there the fastest way possible. I have used it when towing my antique car to Indiana and it avoided tie ups for me. I can't say enough about Garmin.(or as we call her "Carmin Garmin".

Simple to Setup and Use.......2008-01-01
I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I could start using this unit and how intuitive the menu is. There is nothing to load in the box, in fact aside from the GPS unit, the only other components in the box are the windshield suction cup and power cord. Install the suction cup on the windshield, plug the unit in through your cigarette lighter, and the unit starts up. The unit was able to achieve satelite lock easily and then you are ready to receive directions. Very clean menu - Where do you want to go or Map. When calculating routes, the unit is fairly quick and accurate. The Nuvi even gave me directions through a local shortcut. My only minor complaint is that there is no off switch. When not using the unit, I need to unplug the unit from the car.
A practical, handy tool for travel, but cannot trust it 100%.......2007-12-29
Bought the product ahead of our trip to Blue Mountain, Canada. The NUVI250 was easy to use and understand its features.
PROS:
Small and light weight. Literally fits in my shirt's pocket without sagging.
Bright, clear LCD with auto dimming at dusk.
Clear voice prompts.
Quick
< 5 sec recalculating.
POIs very helpful: Our car got stuck in snow. We were able to pull up the contact info for a towing company and gave them a call for help. We were thankful for having the GARMIN. It saved us time and headache.
CONS:
POIs not that up to date. I expect shops that have opened 2 years ago would be in the database.
While trying to each a fastfood restaurant, we were put on a road that reached a dead-end. That was a big dissapointment and raised doubts about the accuracy of maps on this system.
Bottom-line: Although I say its a must have tool for travel, be certain to have a map in your car as a back-up alternative. I still feel hesitant depending on this unit and cannot completely trust NUVI. I also suggest if you plan to seek a POI, call the number as well and verify the address before heading for it.
But if you ask me whether I'd keep the unit or not, my answer is yes, I'll keep it and for sure use it!
Garmin Nuvi 250.......2007-12-24
This is a great GPS. Easy to use and just a great little item. It's definitly a must have for all those short little trips. Saves you time of looking directions up on mapquest and it has such more detail than mapquest would ever have. I would definilty recommed this GPS to anyone.
Garmin.......2007-12-22
Fun to have and use. Simple and easy to use. Very convenient to be able to shop at Amazon and the price was comparable or better than the stores.
Dolly.......2007-12-14
A joy to have. Gives intelligent instructions for reversing course by going around the block, or whatever. I would like to have it show the altitude, which it has to calculate anyway, but that doesn't interfere with it's effectiveness as a driving guide. We've named the bright female who gives instructions "Dolly".

Nuvi 270 Rocks.......2007-12-31
I haven't traveled to Europe with this yet but having US and Europe in the same machine at this price is the best deal I have ever seen. Worked great right out of the box.
Garmin nuvi 270 saves the day.......2007-12-28
I was sent to England to work for 6 months to 1 year. Actually 4 of us were, and we all bought the same Garmin Nuvi 270 from Amazon...and it is GREAT. Mine has gotton me all over England, and I recently took it back to the US for Christmas...worked like a charm. My co-workers have been to Dublin, Ireland, the Check republic, and Rome, Italy....and it worked GREAT in all locations. Highly recommend for a trip to Europe, and something that you can still use back in the US.
Get me there........2007-12-28
Great product really works well. Little high on price but if u can get it you wont be let down.
so handy.......2007-12-28
This was a gift for my boyfriend, who makes multiple house calls in the hills and hollows of the Catskill Mountains. He used to spend half an hour each morning printing out reams of paper with directions and many, many maps, and now he doesn't have to do. So it's cool, it's practical, it saves time, and it's good for the environment!
Be forewarned. .......2007-12-23
If your marriage is less than 100% secure, be careful of this product! My lovely wife Stacy is often skeptical of gadgets and has a very good sense of direction. She usually navigates as I drive. The first time I used my Nuvi 270 with Stacy in the car, she became very quiet and even sullen in the passenger seat. Seems there was a "another woman" in the car who was providing direction instead of her. I think she was jealous! Now I use it seldom when Stacy is on board, and Stacy has adopted the other woman's voice when she says, "In point one mile, turn left." or "You have arrived at destination on right." So, be forewarned. Otherwise, the Nuvi 270 works fine and gets me where I need to go almost as efficiently as Stacy does.
