Garmin nüvi 200W Reviews, User Feedback and Details

Actual nüvi 200W User Feedback:

“This is entry-level car GPS from Garmin. It lacks “advanced” functions as FM transmitter, Bluetooth connectivity or MP3 player. In my opinion, a stand-alone GPS unit doesn’t need any of that stuff.

Widescreen makes 200W/250W so much better than other 200 series models. Getting directions is the same, but you will be able to see a lot more of what is around you as you drive with these units: places off a highway, gas stations, restaurants. It’s also much easier to use the touch screen, as icons are quite larger.“

One of the Garmin nüvi 200W reviews on Amazon.com forum

“Map detail is very basic on this unit. My TomTom shows much better detail with color shading of terrain and buildings.

If you want full coverage including Canada and Alaska, you should get the Garmin nuvi 250W for just a couple dollars more.

Routing is too slow. It must be a pretty slow processor based on the performance. Map drawing is slow as well.“

Portion of nüvi 200W user review Amazon.com

“Pros: The best part is bright screen. The voice instructions are clear. Touch screen works well. User interface is simple. Easy to use.

Cons: Lost signal a couple of times on one trip I took. The directions aren’t always correct. Once it lead us into a circle. My wife wishes it had the text-to-speech feature; especially in places where streets are close together so it is hard to read. I wish it would tell you to turn sooner; the instruction for turns comes a bit too late.

It is good but not perfect; slightly below my expectations“

Our Research on Garmin 200W portable GPS Suggests:

The reviews for the Garmin 200W are very high. Of over 350 reviews that we checked, the average was 8.7/10. However, this is typical of almost all personal & vehicle GPS navigators; in general consumers are very happy with them..

Limitations:

• No text-to-speech
• No voice commands (navigate with voice)
• No FM traffic

Our Verdict:

In the reviews we scanned, there was not any serious re-occurring issuing being presented for the 200W. Most complaints were about features that the unit didn’t have, which should have been obvious to the buyer.

The Garmin nuvi 200W could be right for you if you want an great screen (size & quality) but you don’t care about frills; most notably absent is text-to-speech and you don’t plan on driving in Alaska or Canada.
