Summary: Great product, several complaints.
Comment: I purchased this product in mid April, and started using it for trips that were already familiar to me, just to check out the routes that it calculated. It didn't always use the same routes I would have taken, but they were always acceptable. I used it for a trip to Nova Scotia at the beginning of May, and it worked quite well.

I really like the features on this device, especially the map related ones, and the identification of local points of interest, such as restaurants.

The several complaints are: I don't like the time it takes to acquire the satellites. If the device is indoors or in a heavily wooded area, and not moving, it may never acquire the satellites. I found that it will do satellite acquisition faster if located in a moving automobile as it is going through an unobstructed area.

The other complaint I have is that it is difficult to alter a route. It would be nice to be able to use point and click or point and drag to do so, but I have not been able to get it to work that way. I'm sure that I will discover different ways to accomplish this as time goes on.

Otherwise, I am quite satisfied with this product.

Summary: Garmin Nuvi 200W - Great GPS unit
Comment: This is a great little GPS. I live across the border from Canada, and needed the North American (and not just US, as the 200w has)maps.

The item works great. Sometimes it takes a minute or 2 to acquire the satellites, but other than that has been great.

Summary: Very nice navigator
Comment: I am very pleased with the Garmin Nuvi 250W. It does a very good job for the price; it is easy to use; it has remarkably good coverage. You will not be disappointed in it. More expensive models have some more features, but everything you need is in the 250W.

Summary: Very good Acquistion
Comment: I was really satisfied with Amazon.com service. First of all, I bought the portable GPS on sale, and this was a really good price compared to its price in other stores. Besides, the product arrived only a couple of days after my request. It took me only 5 minutes to buy it. It saved my time and as they say, time is money!

Summary: Simple with frills and affordable
Comment: I received this as a gift. So far, it works great, it is simple and to the point. I do not know why anyone would want more complicated software in it.

It also has a voice, so if yours does not SPEAK, it could be faulty or defective merchandise. The only minus is that you need the additional gimmick of buying a sturdy support base, which is easy to put on the dashboard but bulky. However, for this price Gamin should at least throw the protective case for the screen. This has to be bought separate unless you spend big bucks on an advanced model.
