See More of What's Around
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 nüvi 200W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator
Nuvi 200w craftsmanship is cheap compare to other higher Nuvi models. Touch screen sensitivity is frustrating, have to press hard enough to work. Worst thing is the dealer sent me a used model, a small paint scratch is noticeable on the seams and stain underneath the LCD display appeared after few weeks.
Rating: - Overall good unit with some glitches

Rating: - This model is a dead end - don't go there!
I bought the Nuvi 200W as a basic automobile GPS, and it is.The mapping and directions work as well as any, and I have no complaints there.But Garmin and their support are terrible.The unit came with a "free upgrade" to a newer map, but the new map CAN'T BE INSTALLED, because the unit has too little memory (um, so why don't they have a map that can be installed?)I was able to install a subset map, but not one that covers both the Northeast and Northwest, the two areas I need.Garmin's written ...
