Pros: I recieved this as a gift from my employer but was planning to buy this unit anyway. It's every bit as good as the older Garmin 260W that I use sometimes. from Newegg.com It is easy to use and program. I had no trouble updating the map although it is a lengthy process. Cons: It doesn't have the text to speach, but I suppose I would need to pay more for that ability. This aspect isn't as important to me. from Newegg.com Pros: The 205W works well. It has a response time quicker than previous units. from Newegg.com Pros: Garmin has a great data base that lets you update your map set for free one time if you register. Also lots of free downloads like addition vehicles and sound sets. from Newegg.com The Garmin was delivered on time and was just as described. It works great and I would recomend it to any one. from Amazon.com We bought the 205W on the recommendatin of a friend. My wife says the 205W is the best gift she has EVER received! from Amazon.com The Garmin Nuvi 205W is a good product if it isn't sent broken the first time. I warn everyone not to purchase anything from Electronics Expo. from Amazon.com Pros: Most of the time accurate, but.... Cons: Sometimes it take's a while to calculate. Sometimes it loses signal. from Newegg.com Pros: Free Map Update after you register it within the first 60 days of acquiring satellites. Mine shipped with 2009 maps but the free update got me the 2010 maps. from Newegg.com Pros: Compact...does not obstruct view with the Garmin dashpad mount. Inexpensive and simple to use...meaning that it does what it needs to do without stressing you out if it should get stolen. from Newegg.com
