The Garmin Nuvi 200 (The best christmas gift!)
6 12 2007
When reviewing automotive gps navigation models I firmly believe in offering real world reviews and not some canned “always positive, never touched it” gps review. Saying that i would like to offer you the reader a mini review & first hand gift giving experience of a fantastic easy to use automotive gps.
To the story & mini review!

My wife’s side of the family, due to family being in town for thanksgiving, elected to celebrate both Thanksgiving and Christmas at the same time. So instead of having an extra month to do Christmas shopping I was left with less than a week and half to all get it all done. My wife is in charge of all the gifts minus and electronic items (which is my department). Anyways we both decided to get a automotive GPS for my mother-in-law.
So it was my job to get the best low cost easy to use GPS I could find. I searched high and low at every possible gps model (Lowrance, Tom Tom, Magellan, Mio, etc…) and ended up getting the Garmin Nuvi 200. Being the tech nut I am i must admit i opened the box and played with it a little before wrapping it up and giving it to the mother-in-law. hehe!!
Therefore, the following statements will tell you why I think you can’t go wrong with giving your loved ones a Garmin Nuvi for Christmas!
- It works and works well, tons of points of interest, accurate maps, and nice set of basic options. (this unit wont do bluetooth, MP3’s, the windows, etc. but it will get you to the nearest I.H.O.P. , Phillips 66, Disney Land, Walmart, etc..)
- Its super easy to use! Its been about three weeks and I have yet to get a call from the mother-in-law asking questions on how to use it. That in itself will sell a million units. If a not tech type person can turning a GPS on and get from point A to Point B without reading a manual or wanting to throw the unit through the windshield the GPS is easy to use.
- The build quality is very nice, super small/compact, and includes a very loud set of adjustable speakers so that the driver can hear audible directions.
I could go on forever but this is just a mini review and it’s getting close to December 25th (the real Christmas) and my side of the family loves tech so I have a lot of shopping to do. Needless to say, you probably already know what a few of them are getting this Christmas from me!
