Garmin Nuvi 205 don't turn on until you are ready to check for updates

Pros Works good if you can stand the map being outdated.
Cons First time it reads a satallite the clock is ticking for current map.
Recommended it? Yes

Just got off the phone with garmin tec support.  I got my garmin for Christmas.  My husband evidently turned it on the day he bought it in December.  Since it has been past the 60 day mark I have to pay for the new map.  There is nothing on the box that says check and see if your maps are outdated...

Basic GPS that is only as smart as you are.

Pros Easy to Use, Simple Setup
Cons Lacks features
Recommended it? Yes

We received this as a gift, and it is a good entry-level basic GPS device.  It is tricky when in large metropolitan areas, as it doesn't shift between suburbs as easily as higher-cost options.  It doesn't seem to update as quickly as more expensive models either, and we have had difficulty with...

Garmin Nuve 205W

Pros Ease of use, cost.
Cons Can't update the lousy database.
Recommended it? No

I bought this unit to save money after my Nuvi 660 was stolen with my car. What a disappointment the 205W is! The hardware is nice, but the software is sorely lacking. It didn't even recognize the existence of Amarillo, Texas, which I'm fairly sure has been in the same place for quite some time. It... Read full review »

This unit has a bunch of great features. I just have 3 major issues with this.

Second:The user interface is kinda... Read full review »

Pros It works well and is easy to use and see.
Cons Not sure.
Recommended it? Yes

My friend bought this GPS and I had the privilege of borrowing it.  I hardly ever have the need for a GPS, so it was just easier to borrow it.  I liked that it had a big screen that was easy to read and see.  I really enjoyed using this GPS because I didn't have much trouble trying...

I didn't ever want a GPS unit, but now that we have one - I love it!  Got this one for Christmas.  Love the large display unit.  It has taken me different ways than I normally would travel, but still gets me to my destination in about the same time.  I'm having fun learning new...

Recommended it? No

I brought the product over a year ago as a Christmas gift for myself and initially loved it.  However, after using it for some time, the volume is shot, and no longer works.  The mounting bracket doesn't stick to the disk and the unit falls off the windshield.  The directions though...

Good GPS but a little quirky at times

Pros Nice Screen, Good Quality, Portable
Cons quirky
Recommended it? Yes

I think that this a good GPS that gets me to where I want and is easy to understand.  I like the features on it like all the categories of places of interest.  The problem is that sometimes it will lose signal in another country. It has also taken me in circles a few times. Otherwise its... Read full review »

Good GPS

Pros Easy to Use, Simple Setup, Compact
Cons Inaccurate
Recommended it? Yes

Really nice GPS system. We got a great price on it and it works well. It holds battery charge for a while. Only downside is sometimes it will be inaccurate about the location of a place. We have only had that happen twice. Other then that, no complaints. Very good durable quality!! Read full review »
