| Some drawbacks: Rating: 2 out of 5 |
| A great little machine although it takes time to get to know about all the fascilities. A couple of annoying drawbacks I tried the free 1 month safety camera update which gave information of a temporary average speed camera, these have been removed but the Nuvi200 still thinks they are there. Also on rounderbouts it tends to demand you turn left at the exit before the correct one hence you do have to count the exits. |
| Garmin Nuvi 200 Widescreen Satellite Navigation System With UK Mapping - Really Worth it to buy: Rating: 4 out of 5 |
Garmin Nuvi 200 Widescreen Satellite Navigation System With UK & Ireland Mapping - £100.29.
Really worth it to buy,easy to go any where,user friendly,Good map routing with SPF(Shortest path First),2D-3D touch screen
My first impressions were very positive. It looks very simple, and is easy to use. I was happy to see that you could change the mapping options, from the perspective view, to a view from above, where the map moves under the car, and another view from above where the car moves on the map (which is aligned north), which is my own setting.
Second to this the voice commands are clear, and the display is excellent, even in extremely bright weather. The night mode inverts the map, so that it doesn't glare, and this turns on automatically.
But at the Round about some times it speaks slowly some times,after 3 seconds it gives responce,some times i fill but all togather i give 95%,excellent performance,just need to improve on round about arrow map ,should indicate perfactly on screen with map arrow including turning point to exactly which lane arrow shoud indicate,but over all very good,if u dont have just buy it now & become tension free forever....Really worth it , my experience.....

| Error in the small print: Rating: 5 out of 5 |
| Bought this product and am delighted with it. Took me 5 minutes to set up and very easy to use. Also bought a nuvi 2xx 7 3xx vehicle adapter/recharge cable as it stated in 'Customers who bought this item also bought' this item. However, it was not necessary as the product came with one. It does not state this under what is supplied with the product. There is an error - it specifies a 'vehicle power cable' twice. I am irritated that I do now have two and it is not worth the cost of returning one. |

| I have recently got a new job as a sales rep in an area that im not familiar with at all. so i was advised to buy a sat nav, after a lot of research i oppted for the Garmi nuvi 200w and im so glad i did. there has been no messing arround, i opend the box put it straight in my car and off i went , no down loading maps of the net like you have to with most sat navs. the screen is large and really clear,its so easy to follow, loud instructions given you plenty of time to know when your next turning is, its got saftey camera alerts that has been a must for me driving in an area that im not familiar with. im so pleased with it and for £100 its been money well spent. |
| Simple, cheap, great value: Rating: 4 out of 5 |
This is my first ever sat nav and just shows how far they've come in the last couple of years. I have been trying it out on known routes and has only sent me on one strange detour, so I think thats fine. Good clear map good clear audio instructions and recalculates very fast ( I think). The only thing that has thrown it so far is the commuter traffic in Birmingham which it doesn't seem to recognise as a major pain! It seems as though the traffic data doesn't feed back as I updated to the latest software and it took me a route to work that would be great at midnight but at 7.30 am is a nightmare, turning a 30 minute journey into a 50 minute one! The update was a bit fiddley as you need to register on the website and then download some software from the garmin site to your computer, once done though it was easy enough to update and you can download all sorts of stuff (maps seem a bit expensive though).
All in all I'm very happy and I know my quickest way to work anyway, so won't need it for that. |
