To me it's only average

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: If at all possible, use other GPS units in real-life driving situations before buying.
Review: 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...

Nice GPS

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not bad for the money. Fully capable, but can easily be so much more with a few more features from Garmin.
Review: 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...

Nuvis are for consumers

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: It is inexpensive and feature laden. It represents an excellent value today.
Review: I now have a Nuvi 760 installed on the windshield of my car.

I happen to like Garmin navigators in general, but the Nuvi and Zumo series miss the mark for the 'experienced' among us - and quality is lacking somewhat in some areas as well...

Makes a cross-country drive easy!

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Quick installing, smart device that will make driving so much easier and traveling a breeze.
Review: 1) This review is for the 260 not the 260W. I don't know why epinions doesn't have the 260 on here, but the minor difference in screen size won't affect this review.

2) This product makes traveling so easy. You can not only get to where...

Easy to use

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: Would recommend for people that want a lower price system that works well.
Review: 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,...

Survived 1st trip to LA / OC with help from Garmin 260W

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Garmin 260W based on good display, audible street by name feature, ease of use, and overall functionality. I could not have survived LA experience without it.
Review: I just got home from my first vacation trip where I had to drive in the Los Angeles / Orange County area. It took me all of about 20 minutes of SoCal traffic to convince me to head for a big box store to purchase a GPS. For me, the Garmin 260W...

Garmin nuvi 260.. Gets You There!

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Garmin nuvi 260 is an inexpensive yet highly efficient potable nav unit that belongs on your short list.
Review: Onboard navigation promises to revolutionize the way we drive than perhaps any other electronics for the automobile in recent history. Up until recently the only way you could take advantage of this feature was through expensive options package...

Garmin Nuvi 200, I love you.

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Garmin 200 Nuvi to anyone who is looking for an affordable and easy-to-use GPS unit.
Review: When my mother asked for a GPS for her car one year for Christmas, the entire family laughed at her because she never even leaves town! We all laughed and laughed... and then started making reservations to borrow it for upcoming day trips,...
