Garmin Nuvi 200W

The Garmin Nuvi 200W is an entry-level GPS receiver released in mid-2007. This device is exactly the same as the Nuvi 200, except for the larger 4.3” widescreen display included with the unit. The Nuvi 200W is a low-cost alternative to its predecessor, late 2005’s $1000 Nuvi 350.

While not as fully featured as the Nuvi 350, this GPS does include the essentials for the average driver’s traveling needs. The Nuvi 200W comes preloaded with maps for the lower 48 states, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Additional maps may be downloaded to the device via the internet and saved to an SD Card. This GPS also features voice prompts (“turn left in 500 ft.”), but does not feature spoken street names like in most higher-end receivers. With the ability to save 500 favorite locations as well as custom points of interest, most drivers looking for an entry-level GPS should find Garmin’s Nuvi 200W more than adequate.
