Garmin Nuvi 200/250/270 GPS at CeBit
Update: The Garmin Nuvi 200, 250, 270 have been officially launched.
Update: We have the Garmin Nuvi 250 in for review at the GPS Lodge.
We're pretty excited to hear about new CeBit announcements, and one that has been leaked is the Garmin Nuvi 200. According to the DigiTimes, Garmin will unveil a new entry level GPS that has a low cost structure that will have it replace the current Garmin C-series that is getting a little old; reliable, but old. I much prefer the flat form factor of the Nuvi line. With the Nuvi 350 retailing online for $450 or so, I would hope and expect this to have a list price of $349 - $399, and retail for $299 - $349 online.... but who knows maybe we'll even be dropping to below the magical $200 price point by the holidays. (Total speculation here.....)
While the Nuvi 200 is lower in price, it still appears that it will come with the traveler aids like a currency converter. Check out the Danish Garmin site with the unit already pre-loaded into the site.
Expect a Nuvi 250 and a Nuvi 270 (Euro and US maps, like the 370, and 670 models) too.
I have to say that I am pretty happy to hear that they are launching a low end Nuvi, as I called for just such an entry last fall when I said that Garmin should launch a value oriented GPS that took on the flat form factor of the Nuvi.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more.
