Pros Good entry point unit if you do your homework for price.
Cons Hidden gotcha's
Recommended it? Yes

Wife bought a 260W from Best Buys on sale for $320.00 I checked around and found the identical brand new unit for $245 on http://www.Digbuy.com. She needed it for a trip to NC the following week so I was concerned that she would not get the unit in time. We only had 6 calendar days. Placed the... Read full review »

Pros volume control is great, night vision is cool, and downloadable cars great add-on
Cons not many downloadeable cars to chose from. (white SUV, we lucked out)
Recommended it? Yes

Bought this product just before going to sons baseball tourney in Newburgh, IN. Obviously got along the interstate fine. But, getting around Newburghwas so easy, it seemed as though I was a native. The street name feature is worth the extra money. The points of interest feature allowed me to get... Read full review »

Pros Many points of interest. Locks on to satellites quickly.
Cons Points of interest can't always be counted on.
Recommended it? No

I've been using my Nuvi 200 for about 4 months now. Previously I used a GPS program called Mapopolis on my Dell Pocket PC (a device similar to a Palm Pilot). Quite honestly I prefer the older system to this newer one. For someone who is completely new to using GPS, the Nuvi will seem like a... Read full review »

Nice GPS

Pros Size<br> Easy to read display<br> Audible directions and street names
Cons No routing capabilities<br> Not enough customization
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a fan of Garmin units for years now. I purchased a Garmin eTrex Vista many years ago for Geocaching, hiking, biking, and automotive use. The Vista excelled in all areas except for automotive. It didn't offer any driving directions and seemed to have a problem with roads. I'd put in an... Read full review »

Over priced GPS

Pros bluetooth, language selection for general setup,
Cons Cost, Navigation subpar, poor mount, low resolution, limited street name view. Pay for...
Recommended it? No

I was expecting a lot more when I paid $350 for it. First the display has poor resolution compared to my cheap Myguide which is CE based. Myguide graphics had substantially higher resolution and better 3D rendering even showing the horizon way down the road. Water from lakes, streams, oceans looked... Read full review »

Pros Solid-performing device; Quickly locate POIs and address lookups
Cons As described in body - it lacks some much needed features available in other devices
Recommended it? Yes

I just came back from a 4000 miles trip going from the Central USA to the east and visited most of the original 13 colonies. My Nuvi 760 performed very well, but lack some features found on my Tomtom device. Here's my list:
- ETA is based on origin timezone, not the destination. Be careful... Read full review »

Pros Small size and easy of use.
Cons Can't say street names.
Recommended it? Yes

The Garmin Nuvi 200 comes with a small manual. It is really a quick start guide. The Nuvi 200 is so easy to use that is all you need to get it to tell you how to get to where you want to go.

You can tell it an address, intersection, city, or latitude and longitude. You can also select a... Read full review »

I first purchased the Garmin 260 this summer because my job duties were changing and I was going to be doing a lot more driving. Now that we have taken several family trips this with it, I've really gotten a chance to test its features.

I had a twinge of doubt when I opened the box and... Read full review »
