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 nuevi 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.

Beautiful GPS... November 3, 2007 Floyd Goodrich (Alta Loma, CA USA) 209 out of 209 found this review helpful
I wont bore you with what everybody else says about the 200W. It's a great unit and very easy to learn. I also own a Mio C220 GPS and as both GPS systems are similar, I would like to compare them. Ease of use... Nuvi by far the best. Picking up and holding satellites... Mio by far the best. Sound volume... Nuvi by far the best. Screen brightness... Nuvi by far the best. Routing... Both get you there but the Nuvi has better routing (Navtec) versus Mio (TeleAtlas). Although the Nuvi has a bigger screen it lacks two features the Mio has and I miss them very much. The Mio has an arrow that always points to North, the Nuvi does not. The Mio shows the next turn on the screen, the Nuvi does not, and you have to touch the bottom right part of the Nuvi screen to see the next turn in advance. You do see the turn coming as you get to that turn on the Nuvi but it's nice to know more in advance then the Nuvi lets you know. With such a large screen it's hard to justify not having these two items on screen as I find them important. The POI's are much harder to program in on the Mio but the Mio lets you categorize your POI's, the Nuvi lumps them all into one category. Via points are basically unlimited in the Mio but not easily programed in, the Nuvi allows only one via point but is easily programed into the trip. The Mio offers a "QWERTY" key board to input information while the Nuvi has an "ABC" keyboard. This isn't a big deal but why not a QWERTY keyboard as everybody uses on on their own computers, and finding letters is much faster. Both are great GPS systems, the Mio is "meat and potatoes" while the Nuvi is "pheasant under glass". My advice is that although the Nuvi 200W is about $100 more than the Mio C220, its the one to get due to the sound volume and screen brightness, routing and ease of use.
Functionality and good price over fancy add-ons October 27, 2007 Milos Eric (Belgrade, Serbia) 293 out of 301 found this review helpful
This is entry-level automotive GPS from Garmin. That means it lacks "advanced" functions as FM transmitter, bluetooth connectivity or MP3 player. However, in my opinion, a stand-alone GPS unit doesn't need any of that, and certainly not at a $200+ cost. Widescreen makes 200W/250W so much better than other 200 series models. Getting directions from the unit is the same, regardless of the screen size, but you will be able to see a lot more of what is around you as you drive with these units - places off a highway, gas stations, restaurants. It's also easier to use the touch screen, as icons are quite larger. Comparing 200W/250W with new the 700 series clearly shows these units as entry level, but again, the price gap is huge and I believe it's simply not worth it. One might consider 770 which includes European maps over 200/250, as buying them separately is quite expensive.
Fantastic value! September 22, 2007 Aphex242 73 out of 74 found this review helpful
This little guy has everything most more expensive Garmins do but for a lot, lot cheaper. The primary difference between this model and more expensive ones are that you don't get Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada maps. If these are important, look elsewhere. The much more expensive ($500+) models say the street names, this one does not. However, if those features mean little to you, pick this one up. The list of locations is staggeringly large and current, the maps (on the one I purchased) were dated 2008... I couldn't be happier.
Great Product, Excellent Value November 1, 2007 M. Steele (GA United States) 51 out of 51 found this review helpful
Just received and very happy with my purchase. Set up is quick and very intuitive. As others have said, if you don't want the extra bells and whistles of a MP3 player, bluetooth, and live traffic updates, I think this is the best product out there. Don't worry about the lack of text to speech, you won't even miss it. Voice clearly announces the upconing turns by distance, and the banner at the top list the street name of the upcoming turn anyway. Widescreen is great with the touchscreen very easy to use and navigate. Except for initial startup, satellite acquisition seems fast, and accuracy seems excellent with turns as indicated within 5 to 10 yards at most. I initially got interested in the Nuvi after a trip with a friend using the Nuvi 660. Looked at the Tom Tom I 3rd edition, and the Mio C220 in depth reading lots of reviews, and decided to go with Garmin Nuvi. I could not be happier with this selection, and heartily recommend the Garmin Nuvi 200W.
Great Product October 4, 2007 Adam B. Folsom (Hillsdale, MI United States) 58 out of 59 found this review helpful
Everything on this product works as advertised. The wide screen is a big plus. The 2008 version of the map is also helpful. If you don't want bluetooth or many bells and whistles this is the product for you. Just a simple GPS that works very well.
