Garmin nüvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Great buy. Exceeds expectation. I could not be happier. My sister has another GPS by Jenssen. She is about to get a Garmin.Garmin nüvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

I am very happy with this GPS. You don't need to spend hundreds on a unit. This model is basic but has all the main options anyone would need. It is accurate and gets me exactly where I want to go. These GPS units absolutely amaze me with their stunningly precise technology.

I bought this GPS and while it works fine out of the box, it came with outdated maps. There is a nice road in the area that's existed for at least 4 years that is a quick way to get to the interstate and it wasn't on there. I got on Garmin's website to download an updated map. It took 4 HOURS to download the updated maps to my computer (I have DSL, not dialup!), and then when I tried to put the new maps on my Garmin it would not go. I spent 2 evenings after getting off from work and a total of another probably 8 hours trying to put the maps on and they not only didn't go, but the Garmin software deleted what was on it from the factory! I ended up with a nice, new GPS with NO maps whatsoever on it. Not very useful, huh? When I called Garmin to see what they would do they said that they would send me a disc of the maps or connect me with tech support to try to resolve the problem. By this time I had had enough of trying to fool around with it, so I ended up sending it back to Amazon for a refund and I've since bought a Tom Tom GPS. I won't buy a Garmin product again.

I suggest to the Amazon customers to buy this producte. It is friedly to use and the price is amazing.

She has made a few minor mistakes, but compared to our efforts without her, she is a gem. Always patient and pleasant and willing to find us a new route if we don't turn where she says. Finding restaurants, motels and grocery stores while we are traveling is so easy. You can even choose ethnic and she directs you to your choice of any that are near by.

However, occasionally my husband still stubbornly "knows better" even with 2 women shouting at him. Maxine can't do anything about that.
