Cons: It's not very smart.? Map updates expensive. Review: I've been using the Nuvi since last Christmas.? I have some serious issues with the Nuvi.? from Shopping.com My Nuvi 200 survived the initial 1-year warranty. A few months later, the power started shorting out. from Amazon.com Garmen Nuvi 200 is the best GPS for the average traveler, its easy to work and even easier to read. Nice size screen too! from Amazon.com The unit is lightweight and I carry it in my purse. My one big caveat is to check your maps and make sure you update them immediately, if necessary. I think Garmin will only allow the free update within 30 days of purchase. Although the 200 was purchased in July 2008, the maps were not up to date (2006 maps) and I ran into problems updating them on Garmin's website and then forgot. from Amazon.com The Garmin is awesome at a great value. I'm ordering another one for my daughter. from Amazon.com I am extremely pleased with my Garmin nuvi 200. I never thought it could be so useful to me since I'm retired and don't travel much. from Amazon.com I'm very disappointed to find that the maps in my newly purchased Garmin nuvi are over a year old. This is according to device itself, which informed me that new maps are available for purchase. from Amazon.com I would NOT recommend this product. I bought a garmin nuvi 200, and it was great for the 1st year. It is now conveniently out of warranty, has a firmware error, and Garmin's customer service is the most inconvenient and unfriendly that I have seen of any company. from Amazon.com Wouldn't normally be a big deal, but new roads get built over time, so they direct you to update the maps (free!). That is where the problem begins. The update software is not intended for the 200. It is designed for units with more horsepower. from Amazon.com I purchased the Garmin 200 after reading a lot of positive reviews on Amazon. It was a great product - simple design, easy to use. from Amazon.com
