Garmin NÜVI 200

...He immedietly pointed to the Garmin and rattled off a dozen reasons why, most of which blurred into a realisation that the stickers that showed the features on each unit were lying i.e. he said it had post code navigation, the stickers said not. Anyway, time was moving on so we grabbed one and paid the £165 it cost at the time. Having got home, the first thing I did was go online and check other reviews to see if we'd screwed up. Happily not, all ...
...price range bar none'. Good. So, what do we have? Like most similar units, it comes bundled with a power lead and suction cup for attaching it to the windscreen plus another ring to help fix it to the dashboard but I can't imagine it would work with many unless they had the right shape. A short manual gets you up to speed. The units is very compact and fairly thin and has no auxiliary aerial. That combined with a 3 hour battery life means you can ...

Review of Garmin NÜVI 200

...decided to invest in the Garmin Nuvi 200 (UK). I purchased this from Halfords when they had a sale on Sat Navs for £89.99, but they generally retail for £99.99. Although these devices have come down in price since first being marketed, they're still very pricey. I'm sure there will be many more offers on now around Christmas with updated models, so there's even more choice now. I wouldn't have bought one if I felt safe with your bog standard map ...
...wouldn't load. I spoke with Garmin who suggested a few things to try, but nothing helped and they put it down to a 'technical fault which can not be fixed'. Be aware of the returns/fix policy of the shop from which you buy this product. Although they're good sat navs, they still have many complaints made about them and hundreds of units get returned to the shop and exachanged. With Halfords, I just took the product in along with the receipt, and ...

Review of Garmin NÜVI 200

used my garmin nuvi now for 1 year and a half, being an hgv driver was not sure with sat nav and this was my second unit and heard lots of bad storys of drivers getting stuck! but this machine is bang on with getting you to your destionation, either that be in a city or out in the country side, most of the time i checked between maps and the sat nav unit and 99% it was always taken you a safe route. screen is good and clear.. voice is nice and ...
...year and should have been free to use. only thing that needs look at is how fast garmin brings map updates, going around the uk and going over new parts of roads or motorways the system got confused. all in all great small sat nav for the price ...

Review of Garmin NÜVI 200

Agree with most of what the previous reviewer said but he left out a couple of very important drawbacks. 1. It really isn't very accurate when you take it out of town, navigating for the first time to our friends country house it told us we had arrived approx a quarter of a mile from the actual destination. (using postcode with house number entry) This failing was repeated many times travelling to other countryside destinations. 2. its database ...
...actual destinations that exist in the real world. I have been told this is not Garmins problem but is caused by the maps they are forced to use? In terms of a recommendation, given the opportunity i WOULDN'T have bought this item had i been aware of its ACTUAL performance. ...

Review of Garmin NÜVI 200

Garmin NÜVI 200 one of the best navagation systems that I ever seen and better yet for that price. It informs you of all cameras, indicates the best and quicker ways, indicates if you are going faster than it allowed, and if you have a antenna for it, indicates if there are traffic on your way then you press a button and automatically gives you other direction to go where it doesn't have traffic. Really fantastic ...
