Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 200 is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled 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 3.8 x 2.8 x .8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 5.2 ounces. The nüvi 200’s 3.5-inch (diagonal) 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.

Navigate with Ease
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.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Garmin 3.5-Inch screen GPS
my wife has one and its great. simple and easy to use. perfect size. not big or small. so i recommended my friend to get one for his wife as a gift. i placed the order for him. i received the package early from the shipper. no complaints. good deal with the 2 added accessories from the shipper.

5 Stars No more driving in circles
This item was shipped and delivered much faster than estimated. Works great, very user friendly!!

4 Stars Garmin nuvi 200 GPS systems
I am very happy with this product. I have named “her” GYPSY because she’s such a great traveler. Sometimes her voice is annoying but otherwise I have no complaints! I don’t hesitate to go to new places now. Great little invention!

5 Stars Superb devise for Sales
If you are in sales and it involves driving, this is awesome. If you are still using online mapping, you will find this insanely more efficient. I have used it for over 6 months, and 99.5% of the time it is exact; the other .5% it gets me close where I can figure it out. Saves me tons of time and fuel!

5 Stars Great GPS for the $$$
I purchased the Garmin NUVI 200 for about $125.

This is a great GPS for the money. Does what it is supposed to do and does it very well. Not sure what bells and whistles this unit doesn’t have but gives me great directions.

I would recommend GARMIN over all others based on my experience.

5 Stars Fast shipping nice product
I needed this to continue my trip as my GPS has about a 6 hour battery life and my road trips have 8 or 10 hour days. The product arrived fast and works just great. The cahrger is generic and fits any GPS with the firewire charger connection. The company is wonderful to follow up and check to make sure that I got the product and was happy with it. They even sent a free mini-tripod as a gift with purchase. Now I have a tripod for my tiny digital camera. I would definitely buy from them again if I needed to.
