No-frills GPS that works

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2009
The Bottom Line: Inexpensive GPS gets you where you want to go with no fuss.
Review: After my friend got tired of me borrowing his Garmin GPS all the time, I saw this Garmin Nuvi 205W on sale near Christmas so I decided to get my own.

This is a basic, no-frills GPS. It will give you directions, has a large points of interest...

Covers the Basics

Date of Review:  May 11, 2009
The Bottom Line: This unit covers the basics well, if you can deal with the navigational quirks and poor map detail. The lack of included accessories is embarrassing for Garmin.
Review: ***NOTE! - This review is for the Garmin Nuvi 205, not the 205W. When I wrote it, I did use the page for the correct model number, but for some reason Epinions moved it here.***


Perhaps my experience with the Nuvi 205 is a reflection of...

An economical entry level GPS.

Date of Review:  May 19, 2009
The Bottom Line: A basic entry level GPS without all the bells and whistles. It does what it says it does.
Review: I purchased this GPS unit for my mom on mother's day. Last Sunday we finally opened it up and I helped her sort through the bits and peices of the GPS unit.

Out of box experience to be honest was a bit disappointing. Let me explain why. I...

Good Bang for the Buck!

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2009
The Bottom Line: A great deal for the money!
Review: I needed a GPS for a long trip, but was concerned about price and complexity. I also wanted one that was large enough to see. Then the 205W came into my life. I picked it up for about $200 new in January and had it installed in my truck. It's got a...

Perfect everyday GPS

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: The perfect everyman's GPS unit.
Review: I go on a lot of business trips and usually wind up renting the GPS from the rental car companies so I figured to go out and just buy one...and I got the Garmin Nuvi 205W.

The Nuvi 205W is the perfect "meat and potatoes" GPS unit.  For a...

Love it so far!

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2009
The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend this based on my initial experience.
Review: I just bought this device but I am very impressed so far. It is easy to figure out and has an outstanding number of features for the price! It will of course get you to a specific address but it will also find restaurants, fuel, hospitals and a host...

Basic GPS well worth the money

Date of Review:  May 17, 2009
The Bottom Line: You will not be disapointed with this no frills, easy to use unit
Review: I was given the Garmin nuvi 205W Car Gps unit as a gift.  It is perfect for navigation on unfamiliar roads.  I used only this on a recent trip to Michigan with just putting the addresses in of my hotel and points of interest.  Very easy to use. ...

A great GPS at a great price.

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2008
The Bottom Line:

If you need a GPS for your car I highly reccomend this model.

Review: My wife and I are getting ready to move to a new duty station and we decided it was time to buy a GPS system for our cars.  I was reluctant at first because I take pride in my maps and ability to find my way.  Well I broke down and we began shopping...

Garmin Nuvi 205 don't turn on until you are ready to check for updates

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2009
The Bottom Line: I recommend the product with the warning to see about the upgrade, then be sure to get it within the 60 days after you FIRST turn it on.
Review: Just got off the phone with garmin tec support.  I got my garmin for Christmas.  My husband evidently turned it on the day he bought it in December.  Since it has been past the 60 day mark I have to pay for the new map.  There is nothing on the box...

Basic GPS that is only as smart as you are.

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2009
It's Good For: Navigation, Travel, Cars, Gifts, Everyday Use
Review: We received this as a gift, and it is a good entry-level basic GPS device.  It is tricky when in large metropolitan areas, as it doesn't shift between suburbs as easily as higher-cost options.  It doesn't seem to update as quickly as more expensive...
