I recently purchased the Garmin NUVI 205 the day after Thanksgiving, and got a GREAT DEAL on it at BestBuy. Recently I drove to San Antonio to visit my dad and I accidentally left it in my car, well it was stolen and I was so upset. I am purchasing another on eBay because I love it so much. It is the easiest GPS EVER, even my grandmother can use it, it's that easy! All of the features are remarkable! You can put your own photos on it and view them, view different time zones, use the calulator, change the vehicle icon (TomTom doesn't offer this feature, you just get an arrow), on the Garmin you can have a Sleigh, Boots, a boat, car, RV, motorcycle, RC race car, an Army tank, sports cars, and many many others...and while your driving the maps automatically update themselves, and when it gets dark while your driving the screen automatically is dimmed to a low light state to improve overall driving..you can change the voice to a man or woman also!...it is so customizable..it's great! I recommend this GPS to ANYONE! PS-----------BE SURE NOT TO LEAVE IT UNATTENDED IN YOUR VEHICLE! ALWAYS TAKE IT WITH YOU EVEN IF YOU GO INTO A GAS STATION TO PAY FOR GASOLINE, A RESTAURANT, OR A HOTEL WITH SECURED PARKING BECAUSE THESE ARE THE TOP THEFT ITEMS! ALONG WITH IPODS! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I used the Garmin 205W that belonged to a friend on a long trip to unfamiliar territory recently. I found it to be very helpful and user friendly and so purchased one for my use. I liked the wider screen and the different mounting options (dash or window). I also liked the fact that it had a battery back up so that we could take it in the motel and program it for the next day's trip. This particular model showed the posted speed as well as my drving speed on the display and the expected time of arrival. I was able to take short detours to resturants or other points of interest by using the via feature. One negative, however, is that when I searched for a motel--it only listed those with "motel" in the name. In other words, it did not find a Holiday Inn. One other concern I have is how easy will it be to update. One mistake it made was in coming to a road that was oneway around a courthouse, it kept telling me to turn left--which I could not do legally. However, once I rounded the courthouse, it picked up correct directions. So, common sense must still be employed when using the Garmin. Until I have more experience with the Garmin, I still take the $5.00 road atlas with me, too.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I purchased this item for my brother and his wife. Although they don't travel much, they wanted something that would help them when they were out of state. Since they didn't need anything "top of the line" this unit was perfect. I had the opportunity to try it out for them before I gave it to them and I really liked it. The unit is small, lightweight, and VERY easy to operate! It is very easy to view even though the screen is not very big. The lighting and the clarity of the screen are wonderful. It even comes in a pale pink color-which is great for us girls-although the color is light enough that it isn't too flashy for the guys. The only poor thing I have to say about the unit, is from my brother when he used it out of state. Although they did make it to their destination, it took them another 3 hrs that they didn't want to use. They tried changing the settings to shortest distance and fastest time, but the recalculation never changed. I'm not sure if this was a fault of the unit, but I am just pointing it out. If you want something compact, inexpensive, easy to program and follow, and stylish, then this unit is great for you!! I am hoping that my husband buys one like this for me:)Vollständige Rezension lesen
I have had several different types/brands of GPS units. I have had an earlier model Garmin which I am very satisfied with. Our family is still using it. Recently I bought my wife the 200 model which for her purposes are just fine. I did have a Nextar GPS unit, but I had nothing but problems with it. The unit kept loosing power even though it was connected to a power source, and the system was terrible at recalculating a new route. It always wanted to send you back to it's original calculation. I bought the Garmin Nuvi 205W to replace the Nextar and am more than satisfied. The system calculates your route fast and recalculates as soon as you change your direction. As with all the units they give ample time to find your destination. I like the wide screen as it is easily seen and you can view more of area around your route. This unit also has a where am i selection that give your exact location and can give you nearby hospitals , police, gas service, etc. I have not needed all the features yet but when I do use them I will add to this review. I did find the price of this model good for what it had to offer. The turn by turn directions are fine for me as it tells you to make your next left or right. I will look on the screen to see the street that the next turn is on. If you want to hear the Name of the street, then you must spend some more and upgrade to the Nuvi 255W. the Nuvi 255W tells you to turn on the street name, (example; Make Your next left onto Main Street) If you shop around you will find a great differance in prices from store to store. There are several E-Bay sellers with good buy-it-now prices too. Good Luck, make sure you research what you are looking for, then you won't be disappointed.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Garmin Nuvi is a great technological addition to any vehicle. I use this product at work on a very regular basis and have found it to be incredibly reliable, complete and convenient. I have relied on a Garmin Nuvi heavily and have had a pleasurable experience using it. As for cons; The touch screen can be inaccurate at times. Unless you make precise selections, the Nuvi ends up selecting any of the on screen options at the time. A little experience with the product usually ends up curing this small issue. Also, the navigation programming will take you out of your way to avoid making a left hand turn across traffic. While this is programmed out of concern for safety (A majority of traffic accidents occur from left turning traffic. Either rear-end accidents from following traffic not seeing the turning vehicle or the turning vehicle turning in front of unseen oncoming traffic.) This feature can be inconvenient, time consuming and confusing for drivers in unknown areas. With the success in my use at work, I have decided to buy this product for my wife whose job takes her all over the state. I'm confident in this product to safely guide her to her destinations. Kudos to Garmin for such a great product!Vollständige Rezension lesen
