Garmin Nuvi 200 Review
CNet has posted a Garmin Nuvi 200 review, and overall they are giving it high marks for its featureset. The well known Nuvi series is well represented by the Nuvi 200, without any critical corners cut to lower the price.
I liked the Nuvi 250 when I reviewed it before it was publicly available. I thought that it navigated well, offered a sharp set of features all wrapped in a more friendly nuanced interface that was familiar and solid. It seems that I am not alone and that the CNet staff saw that the Nuvi 200 brings a lot of the great functionality of the Nuvi 350 in a simpler package.
I think that we are collectively hoping for lower pricing on the Nuvi 200 series because the Nuvi 350 in all of its many many units sold, has a rock bottom price (in the $370 range online right now), which is also about what the Nuvi 250 is running.

Excellent review-right on the money. (No pun intended.) I just picked up a 200, and couldn't be more impressed with its elegant, simple menu system/UI.
I have a MIO c310x, which is a nice value GPS, but as useful and good as it is, it is easy to see the classy refinement in the Nuvi.
Add to this the fact that I paid 249.00 for it, and I'm happy.
For someone on the road 30-40 thousand miles a year, this does the job just fine. Who needs an MP3 player in their GPS, anyway??
Thanks.
I recently purchased a Garmin nuvi 200. I love it! The things that this thing does is unbelieveable. It is very easy to use, and the features that are built in to this unit are the bomb. I would recommend this unit to anyone, regardless of how many miles you drive a year.
