Love My Garmin, November 8, 2009GPS Review, October 26, 2009I was surpised at how easy it is to use the Garmin. It proved its worth last week when we had a lot of traveling from one location to another on Long Island N.Y. and there were Nor'Easters on two days so we… could not see the exit signs. The Garmin made it very easy to know when we coming up to the exist and especially when to stay to the left or right lanes. Ocasionally it would get confused and give us invalid directions. Yesterday when traveling from my house to my cousin's house in Eastern Mass., at distance of 31 miles, the GPS could not get the satellite and thought that we were still in the Bronx, N.Y.

GPSReview.net provides a detailed and comparative review of the Garmin nuvi 200, with a handy chart covering all features and specs. Tim Flight calls the nuvi 200 "a great simple device" with some limitations. His main complaint -- the price -- is no longer an issue, as the nuvi 200's price has dropped dramatically.

In this amply illustrated, comprehensive review, the Garmin nuvi 200 is described as a well-designed unit with a steep list price (at the time it was reviewed). Scott Martin evaluates performance, usage and features, but GPSLodge.com does not rate products.

The Garmin nuvi 200 is a good choice for people who aren't interested in any extras, Kiplinger.com senior editor Bob Frick writes. Frick doesn't appear to have tested all of the models in this roundup himself, but he does include helpful advice from outside experts.

Relying on only the most basic testing of the Garmin nuvi 200, Bonnie Cha offers a brief review that focuses on features. She gives the unit a "very good" rating (3.5 of five stars). Her major complaint, that the nuvi 200 is too costly, is no longer valid.
