Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 200 is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 3.8 x 2.8 x .8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 5.2 ounces.

Navigate with Ease

Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nüvi accepts custom (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Fantastic Car GPS; Basic, but great

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2007

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my wife. (She has found my long love of gps units a little baffling until now, but she LIKES having this in her car now.)

I have owned five Garmin gps over the years: aviation, hiking & car.
While the nuvi 200 doesn't have many of the detailed options the older 2650 has, it does have 95% of the functions most people would want & use in their car.

Plus side:
It's small, light & has a great, bright screen.
Has ALL of USA maps & points of interest like food & hotels
Very simple navigation menus & option menus
It announces turns (but cannot pronounce street names)
It has a good battery, to use on foot for a while.
It has a very good antenna built inside. (on my 2650, I added an external wired antenna to my roof for fast satellite acquisition; no need on the 200)
Maintains reception on wooded Atlanta streets.
It routes fast and recalculates fast; looks up addresses fast; Seems about as fast as a more expensive unit.
You can save waypoints (favorites) of all your special places you go or might go.
The windshield mount works great (has never come close to loosening up)
You can send it waypoints using Garmin mapsource software or g7towin software, but it's not as obvious. It's almost like they downplay this capability so you buy a fancier model? You can backup waypoints (favorites) to computer.
Can add photos.
It has 5 "map detail" settings.
It does have a pedestrian mode, which I liked when I took it hiking.

Doesn't have:
It doesn't pronounce street names (must buy fancier model for that)
You can't customize data displays at the 2 bottom corners. While navigating to a place, it shows arrival time & distance to next turn in the corners. Then their is a pop up to announce specific turns. (Fancier units allow you to display other things, like total distance, etc., and control when pop ups happen) While not navigating it shows speed (Fancier units can display the road you are on, and the next cross street- useful sometimes at night, but I suspect most owners would not bother with all the option menus to get this set up on their fancier unit)
Can't attach an external antenna (doesn't seem to need it)
I don't think you can put Garmin topo maps onto it, but I have not tried.
