Garmin nüvi 200W GPS Automobile Receiver (Refurbished) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Disclaimer -- I actually received a TomTom unit as a gift, and after messing with their website to update my maps, the unit locked up and had to be returned. I opted to return it for credit and buy a Garmin. What a difference!
I simply plugged it in, watched it download current maps from the satellite (I think) and started using it. Easy to use, easy to understand.
Before I take a trip I program all destinations as favorites, then simply push three commands. Where To? Favorites? Select and Go!
Even in LA it chooses not only the most direct route, but in most cases the best. Occasionally I'll start in a different direction because of construction or traffic and it recalculates immediately.
In a strange town we've used it to find restaurants, hotels, etc and were amazed at the variety offered.
One surprise, when I don't have a signal (as in a parking garage) the GPS Simulator will allow you to navigate a map and check the location of your next stop. Once you get a signal, just switch to active mode and you're off.
I'm pleased with the battery life also. It really runs for five hours as advertised, and seems to take less than an hour to recharge. Our car has a large windshield and a console, so I don't need the window mount. I simply set it against the dashboard in a tray on the console and it works fine. Sometimes we set it on the dash while parked to acquire the satellite.
I bought mine refurbished with no bells and whistles and have gotten my $130 back in saved time and aggravation already. I'm sure my next new car will have built-in nav, but this is portable, I can use it in any vehicle at any time.
I've tried to think of a problem, but, so far, none. Great device.
