Garmin nüvi 200W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

Garmin's nüvi 200W combines the thin profile and attractive price point of other nüvi 200-series GPS with and a beautiful 4.3-inch (diagonally) wide touchscreen that lets you see more of what's around you as you drive. As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface.

The nüvi 260W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an ultra-slim design.
See More of What's Around
The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

Smart, Powerful Design
nüvi is built with a high-sensitivity 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 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.

Garmin Lock
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location

First Rate Map Data
nüvi comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, including a hefty database of more than 6 milliong points of interest (POIs), such as hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more, that are searchable by name or category. 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

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.

Easy To Use Interface
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Garmin's own navigation is easy to use

4Great product   Sep 05, 2008
I have found the Garmin nuvi 200W 4.3 inch very helpful in getting to places and areas that are not well known.... it does a good job on getting me home. The map however was not up to date. Two years ago a new bridge was put in De Pere Wisconsin and the Garmin wanted me to cross over where the old bridge was but is no longer there. The recalculation would have had me gong in circles. Map needs updating. The reviews I read on the map update for it were not encouraging.

5Garmin nuvi 200W  Sep 03, 2008
I have owned my Garmin 200W for 9 months. Now i cant do without it. It is worth every penny. Only problem is car charger always pops out of outlet in car when i go over a bump in road.

3Great tool but has some serious disadvantages  Sep 03, 2008
OK, first of all, if you want to use it anywhere on the East Coast, forget it! Because it's not real time it will always be a second or two too late. I have missed a lot of turns because this thing is LATE! But it is also not updated so many go-arounds or streets are not even there. New developments are not there. My brother has Magellan and it works sooo much better than this one! Also, there is no option to use mainly Higways (useful if you go on a long trip). Many times it will divert you to the surface streets just to save half a mile but will waste you an hour because of all intersections. Very frustrating. Other than that it works good and for the most part will get you where you need to be.

5Fabulous Investment!!!  Aug 31, 2008
Garmin is the best GPS hands down! This product offers so much more besides step by step directions.I have one and I just ordered one for my in-laws. They love it!

5No More Printing Out Mapquest Maps!! This does it ALL!!!  Aug 31, 2008
I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 200W on 7/30/08 after quite a bit of research... I must say I absolutely LOVE this thing... It has saved me on more than one occasion... My friends have the expensive models but I opted for the one and I couldnt be more happy... The only thing the expensive ones do that this one doesnt is verbally say the street name but who cares... I have used this every day since I bought it... The only gripe I have is that it didnt come with the cord to plug into your computer to update it, but that is a small price to pay for such an amazing piece of equipment!!!
