Garmin nüvi 200W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

The Garmin Nuvi 200 is even better with the 4.3 widescreen. This is the third portable Garmin I've owned, and all have been great, with the newest one even better, with out of the box usability, quick 1 minute setup, and good customization options. (Route choice/languages/hwy vs. tollways, etc) Battery life is very good at about 3.5 hours with a freshly charged one, and unlimited with 12v power of course. This model works great with a friction mount (a $35 option) Forget the suction cups...they fade and warp after about 6 months and auto thieves are always looking for those tell-tale suction cup marks to break in. The Garmins come with a nice security feature that looks out the functions at power off. You input a code on power on and use it normally then. But if stolen, the thief has a useless gadget! You don't have to use the security feature but I highly recommend it. About the only flaw with the Garmin is the long satellite lock on time. Sometimes it gets the satellites in 15-30 seconds, but it can just as easily take 2-3 minutes sometimes! It does have a very strong lock on once it gets the satellites though...I've never lost a signal on the road with it.

I love this Garmin. The wider screen is much better than the narrower models. Very user friendly and reliable. Very accurate and up-to-date.

We go to alot of garage and estate sales. We named our GPS Lola. Lola has only let ou asray twice by a few blocks. The Detour feature is great! Would buy the upgrades.

I have three GPS (eTrex, GPSMap 60CSX and this one). Among these three, the fastest one is this nuvi 200w. I know that GPSmap has different purpose than Nuvi, but the acquisition time of Nuvi 200W is fantastic and screen drawing is very fast. And the screen is absolutely beautiful thing. Very bright and colorful. And more: this one supports various languages. I'm using korean language menu, voice and portuguese keyboard layout. Perfect...

Excellent G.P.S... Easy to work , better than my built in unit on my Infinity......Highly recommmend
