Ten steps beyond our old Garmin. (Which cost 4 times as much 4 years ago.) Well worth the money! from Qvc.com I had my previous QVC purchased GPS (Garmin 260) stolen from my car. I needed a reliable replacement right away and did not have the almost $300.00 to replace it. from Qvc.com I cannot say enough great things about my Garmin! I purchased this a few months ago after returning home from a trip our family took with friends that used their Garmin in our rental van! from Qvc.com What's great about it:?Simple setup, Clear Directions, Redirects, Adorable colors, Long Battery life What's not so great:?If left in the sun too long the colors fade, can take a little while to load directions/get satelite connection "I have a horrible sense of direction so my boyfriend bought me the pink nuvi for my birthday, aside from hearing about the color fading if left in the sun for long periods of time, (which really isn't a big deal because when I'm not driving, I just put it in the glove compartment so the color hasn't faded one bit), this GPS is awesome! It comes in adorable colors, the directions are clear, I love that it redirects if you miss an exit. from Bestbuy.com I received my Garmin nuvi 205, 3.5 inch GPS in a timely manner. All was fine. from Amazon.com I recently purchased the nuvi 205 because I wanted a quality GPS with basic functions for an upcoming vacation. It turned out to be a great choice. from Amazon.com This Nuvi 205 is a good product that fits in my pocket. Easy to set up and easy to use. from Amazon.com Great system. I had the same model prior to leaving it in a rental car, so I purchased another one. Needless to say I remember to keep the lock key on the Garmin now when not in use. from Amazon.com My Nuvi works simply, is fast, and getting lost is much harder to achieve now. A great value! from Amazon.com Pros: This is great for turn by turn navigation. My father has a garmin dash unit and this mirrors it perfectly. I recently went on a 2,300 family vacation and did not have any troubles with navigation. from Newegg.com
