I have only used this while in Ireland and England, it worked great except for one time it drove us around for 3 hours when the place was only 10 mins away we got hopelessly lost and almost never got to where we were going had to stop 3 times and ask locals for directions. Other than that it worked well, alerted us to traffic cameras, and speed limits even tells you off when you re speeding. Nice little GPS, going to test it in Mexico soon.

It nice and tidy, easy to store on person or in the car. The 1200 is better than the 200, faster and better screen, but the 200 is a bit slower but still works just fine. The only other issue is the USB cable for PC syncing and a power USB to recharge the battery, not all USB cables are the same some will work and some don't. I like the part whereby you enter the street number first and then the street address, with the older tomtoms it was state, city, street, and house number. Logical but long. With garmin, you can enter an address faster.

Let's just get this out there first-- The one thing I don't like-- At startup, if you want to view the map while driving WITHOUT setting a destination, you have to click the "View Map" button or else it just stays at the "where to"/"View Map" screen. --Unless mine's messed up or there's some way around that I couldn't figure out because on the newer ones, if you start the car and don't click anything, it'll default right to the map--That aside, I have to remind myself I only got it FOR 25 BUCKS AT AUCTION. Now on to what I love -- My absolute favorite thing about the nuvi 200 is it's simplicity. It's SO EASY to use!! It's Garmin, so it has a great USER-FRIENDLY interface, unlike many other brands. (It's the Apple of GPS brands) On startup, it's ready to go in seconds. All you need to do is click the "Where To" button, and you're good to go. You can enter the address of your destination or look through its plethora of nearby restaurants, stores, gas stations, and other businesses. It's that simple. I also love its size---its little, and I like that because it doesn't take up a lot of space on my windshield. This particular model is discontinued, but it still works just as well and is definitely not spartan-- it has at least 90% of the features on newer models. Most importantly, I can't stress enough about the value here! There's no reason to spend $150+ on new ones when you can get these things on eBay auctions for so cheap. If you don't want to spend a bunch of money but want a reliable and accurate GPS loaded great features, the nuvi 200 is the way to go.Read full review
The nuvi200 is the first GPS I've owned. I enjoyed using it so much, that after it was stolen from my car, I purchased a replacement on ebay. It is a great beginner system with easy to use features, but it doesn't feel like anything is missing at all. I would give it an excellent ratting except for a few minor flaws. First, it takes a long time to "acquire satellite" before you can get directions. Second, it gets house numbers wrong alot, and third on major highways it often takes you to the wrong side of the road. I don't know if these are common to all GPS as this is the only one I've owned, and none of them kept me from re-purchasing this item. I have never had a problem finding any place that I asked it to help me find, and it has helped me out in more than one difficult situation. All in all, a VERY GOOD product!Read full review
This GPS is very easy to use and navigate. It has a smaller screen than many of the newer models, but the font is large and the touchscreen buttons are large and my fat fingers can easily press the right buttons. The only thing I don't like about it, is it's hard to program in favorites. You can easily type in a new address, but adding new favorites can get a little cumbersome. On occasion the device can take a while to locate satellites, but that is most likely due to location and not the fault of the device. You can pick a used one up for cheap, or a new one for about $100. If you're looking to get your first GPS, the Nuvi 200 is a good starter model.
