Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: Garmin's nüvi 200W combines the thin profile and attractive price point of other nüvi 200-series GPS with and a beautiful 4.3-inch (diagonally) wide touchscreen that lets you see more of what's around you as you drive. As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that lets you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface. Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators.
The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. Smart, Powerful Design nüvi is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use. Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location First Rate Map Data nüvi comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for the continental United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, including a hefty database of more than 6 milliong points of interest (POIs), such as hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more, that are searchable by name or category. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping. In addition, the nüvi accepts custom (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store. Easy To Use Interface Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

 Rating:  - SAVED me on the freeways in Los Angeles!!!I purchased the Nuvi 200w for a family vacation to Disneyland. I'm a widow, with no front or back seat drivers--just my kids. Needless to say, I was dreading the driving part of the trip!!! HOWEVER, it was the smoothest trip ever! My little Nuvi moved me from freeway to freeway with ease. I loved the early "warnings" which prepared me for needed lane changes and/or freeway changes. It wasn't very long before I simply didn't have ANY worries about how to get from place to place--I even found ...

They just guarantee new maps when purchased. Rating: - Garmin Nuvi 200WBought the Garmin Nuvi 200W for my father's birthday and he so raved about it my husband wanted one. He loves it, as it is easy to read (200W) and basically leads you to whatever address or location you want to go to easily (verbal commands). Price is great!! This may not have all the "bell and whistles" others have, but if you want one that gets you to where you want to go, this is it...... Well worth it, we love it. I would highly recommend. Rating:  - nuvi 200W deliversI highly recommend this product at this price point. I've used this on several trips since purchasing, one trip to a remote area of upstate NY and the nuvi never missed a beat. The estimated time of arrival on a five hour trip was within a minute. Points of interest are well laid out and easy to use. This unit has a very intuitive feel and easy to use. I've yet to have to use the manual for anything. My wife is somewhat directionally challenged and my son is a new driver so it's nice to know they ...

It is extremely easy to operate, very percise, and has become a necessity when traveling for work or pleasure. It's thin body design makes it very easy to pack and store when not in use! The wide display allows to view the map in a larger format and the viewing options and features are outstanding. All of the features ...
