- Not very pleased
I can't believe that the other people are talking about the same gps. It was hard to program and slow to respond. I saw the hourglass far more than any maps. The points of interest must not be in my area. It did not locate a Dunkin Donuts 3 blocks away and Hershey Lodge was a complete mystery. I previously had a Tom Tom But my daughter talked into giving it to her. I am returning this Garmin 200 and chalking it up to a lesson learned.

- Missing some simple things that disappoint
Compared to my 5 year old basic MIO GPS, I thought I was buying something at least marginally more advanced, only to find that this product is missing some very basic things that I would expect on any GPS:

I was disappointed for the following reasons:

1 - No altitude data is available - Based on the way GPS works, this data is available once you see at least 4 satellites, so why the designers chose not to display it eludes me.
2 - Its difficult to see the actual STREET ADDRESS once you assign a name to it.
3 - Once you name a destination, it doesn't display the address as you approach the destination (I'm not even sure if it does even if you don't name it). This is really annoying as you start approaching a dense neighborhood and start wondering what house number you were going to.
4 - No option to search by ZIP code - I ran into some ambiguities which could have quickly been resolved by the ZIP code.
5 - Complicated to change the screen layout (from 3D to 2D or Directional) - no quick keys to change the display.
6 - If I choose to orient the display based on the direction of the car, one would think that at least somewhere on the map there should be an arrow pointing to North.

If you've never owned a GPS you might not wonder about these things but if you have, you'll be disappointed with the nuvi 200.

- works great... when it works.
I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 200 about a month ago. It worked great and had no problems for about a month. Then things went downhill. The unit would no longer connect to the satellites. It would find the satellites for about a minute then it would lose them again.

I called Garmin's help line and I stayed on hold for 30+ minutes. When I finally got through, the I.T. guy was very kind and somewhat helpful. He gave me a "quick fix" that usually works (so he says) but the fix was only temporary. It went right back to having the exact same problem. Over all, I would not recommend this unit.

- Great affordable Garmin
The Gamin Nuvi 200 is fine for all my GPS needs. I can't imagine paying twice the price for the minor upgrade options... The 200 will find attractions and stores...
I enter the address and it tells me how to get there. Simple.

Once it took me to the totally wrong back woods cabin... but I was in the back woods... it can't know every dirt road in the Poconos...

Totally worth the price.

- Best for the money
This is my extended family's 5th nuvi 200. We like the simplicity of the model and the low profile compared to the original boxy designs from a few years ago. A zip code input option would be nice, but it's worth not having to get such a good price on a quality Garmin unit.
