The
nüvi
200W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an ultra-slim design. |
The widescreen version of Garmin's nüvi 200 offers a large, easy-to-read screen (4.3 inches diagonally to the nüvi 200s 3.5 inches) at an attractive price point. Like its smaller sibling, the 200W comes with preloaded maps for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. If you want maps for all of North America, check out the nüvi 250W. If you want maps for Europe, you'll need to go with the smaller nüvi 270, or you can purchase a set of European maps on SD Card or CD-Rom. While it doesn't have some of the more sophisticated features of higher-end nüvis, it does, like all nüvi 200-series members, offer a rock-solid navigation experience with an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen, 6 million points of interest (POI)s, and an ultra-slim design.
See More of What's Around
The widescreen format 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
The nüvi 200W 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 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi 200's 4.3-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 200W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. 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. In addition, nüvi 200W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
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.
Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 200W features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards for our line of Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs.
Note: Like most USB Mass Storage Devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.

nüvi 200W, preloaded City Navigator NT for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico (no Alaska or Canada detail), vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disk, and set up and go guide.

Garmin nuvi 200W is really cool!!!!.......2008-01-02
Garmin nuvi 200W is really cool!!!!
I did all my online research and red all the positive reviews of this machine.
The features and value cannot be touched by TomTom or Magellan at the same price range.
I love it, go buy it :)
Trouble Aquiring Satellites.......2008-01-02
I picked this up as a second basic GPS at Dillards of all places for $150 today.
It is very slow at acquiring satellites. Takes a long time. My other unit that I own which is a TomTom acquires them immediately, even when inside buildings.
It is very basic unit. No frills at all.
Many of the POI's are incorrect and many missing. The POI database is very frustrating to use because of the inaccuracies and there is no way to make edits or updates to the existing POI's on the unit like I can do on my TomTom. You can also not create custom POI's on the fly on this unit like my TomTom allows. No MapShare feature like TomTom has, so you are stuck with inaccuracies in the map and POI's until Garmin releases a new map in a year or two and then you have to pay $69 to buy it.
Map detail is quite basic on this unit. My TomTom shows much greater detail with color shading of terrain and building footprints in many areas. This unit also only includes the continental USA, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. If you want full coverage including Canada and Alaska, you should buy the Garmin nuvi 250W for just a few bucks more. Routing is slow and you must have patience. I have no idea what speed and type of processor this thing has and the Garmin Website specifications tell you nothing about the real specs like this including how much memory it has. It must be a pretty slow processor based on the performance. Map drawing is slow too.
The form factor is pretty nice. Fairly slim and trim. The unit is kinda of slippery and it would be easy to drop. Garmin gives you no case, that is $20 more ! You better buy one before your new toy goes sliding across the concrete sometime and really gets messed up. The SD card slot is handy to put some photos of the rugrats on or for those extra maps you might buy that are not included.
If you want a basic GPS and you have to have Garmin I would recommend spending the few extra bucks and going for the Garmin Nuvi 250W with better map coverage.
I think I will play with this a couple of weeks and return it ( I have 30 days ) as I can tell right away even at the low price I paid it disappoints me since I have gotten spoiled by my TomTom.
Not recommended.
Local maps are lacking.......2008-01-02
A fine product, well designed. BUT I've discovered some of the maps do not reflect reality, specifically as relates to local businesses (couldn't find the entrance to the AMC movie theatre ... but I didn't miss the movie!). Also does not show some very sensible, logical "shortcuts" until you make the turn and it recalculates the directions from there.
Excellent First GPS!.......2008-01-02
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loves it. It is simple and straight-forward and doesn't have all those extras you wouldn't use anyway. We researched online and shopped around our area before deciding on this particular model.
Great, simple, easy to use GPS.......2008-01-02
I received this for Christmas and just used it to navigate a 400 mile trip to the beach and back. It works great and found a path I normally don't take but turned out to be very efficient in time. The GPS functions are easy to use. The map has good detail and was very accurate. The only complaint is that it doesn't show elevation (I don't know if this is a standard feature on auto GPS units, as this is my first car GPS.) I am very happy with this device.

Product Description
Explore. Explorers have expanded our perception of the world around us. Beyond AM/FM radio lies XM a totally new band of frequencies that span our continent (and the world) via satellites orbiting our planet over 20,000 miles away. Receiving XM requires a special subscription (at a monthly fee) but it offers vast new programming options beyond radio as you know it. The successful launch of Explorer I by NASA on February 1, 1958, marked the USA's official entry in the space race, and was a water shed moment of pride for all Americans. In it's early days, the satellite was strictly a government entity, today they contribute to the public sector in all areas of communications-including radio. Our new partnership with satellite radio leader XM has yielded Crosley Radios own ?first?- the Explorer 1 tabletop sound system. This little box has it all. Start with our exclusive AroundSound system in stereo supported by THREE speakers and ported bass for incredible ?Out of the box? sound. With all that power, what should you listen to? Talk radio and NPR are there for the asking through our digital AM/FM tuner. Need more choices? Switch to XM, and enjoy over 150 channels of music and content. Anxious to hear your favorite CD? Just slide it in! Ready to fire up your favorite download? Use our Portable Audio Ready feature, hook up your MP3 and let the good times roll!

Crosley Explorer must have Mini Tuner/Home Dock.......2007-10-03
I want to buy this product and have followed it from Amazon to Country Home Products to the Crosely website. On the Crosley website instead of vague information regarding the "antenna" it explains the necessity of purchasing either an XM mini tuner to play XM (as well as getting a subscription to XM) or ordering another product an XM Mini Tuner and Home Dock. This explicit information should added to both this website and the Country Home Products website. Otherwise purchasers will not get what they think they paid for. All of these items are on back order according to the Crosley website and no date is given as to when it should be available. I am disappointed but want to order this item.
No it is not portable and light. I want something that I don't have to build but can simply attach a tuner and go after getting the subscription. This looks like it.
