Nuvi 200W

Pros: Will navigate for you

Cons: Slow to pick-up the satellite

I purchased my Nuvi 200w one week before I flew to Southern California. I tried the unit before I left and discovered that the unit was working. I returned the unit and the store replaced it. The replacement worked as advertised. When we landed in Santa Ana, CA, I noticed that the unit took a little long before the I was able to pick-up the satellite. Once the unit got going, she became my bestfriend. My newfound friend helped me to get to anywhere I needed to go. Thank goodness for GPS. I no longer have to drive and try to read the map. My Nuvi 200w talks to me and tells where to go, regardless of the traffic or weather condition. The only thing that confuses me are the preparatory calls. For example, my Nuvi says, "9 miles, exit right" when it should be saying, ".9 miles exit right."

I would never leave home without my GPS. I drove around a neighborhood at midnight and I felt comfortable so long as my GPS was with me. I don't think I could drive ever again without a GPS. ...
