nuvi 205W

Strengths: easy controls

Weakness: does not call out street names

Gave this unit a good test......driving a rental car all around Florida for 10 days. Very easy controls and programing, quickly recalculates a new route if I need to divert from suggested route. Great for finding motels, restaurants and gas. This unit works as well as the one built into my Acura at 1/20th of the cost. I only paid $129 for this unit at Cabelas just before X-mas. Acura GPS extra was $2,500!

nuvi 205W

Strengths: Have the world's worst sense of direction but this unit took me from NC to CA without difficulty! Plug in the address and go! Voice is distinct, quick to recalculate, excellent on and off freeways.

Weakness: Couldn't find any!

With my nuvi 205W I am comfortable leaving home for a new address. I know I will not get lost. If I should make a wrong turn it quickly recalculates and gets me on the right way. I just love the thing and it is small and takes up little room in my purse. By the way, I am 82 years old.

Great GPS, New Interface, Garmin does it again!

Strengths: Quick GPS lock, Big Screen, Nice Interface, QWERTY keyboard

Weakness: None

Super value, very very accurate GPS, I love the new QWERTY keyboard design, no bluetooth could be the only downside but for $200 bucks the price, screen size, and Garmin brand cannot be touched. I have had several nuvi models and this one again is a hit!

Garmin Nuvi 205W

The Nuvi 205W is a mid-range GPS device released by Garmin in June 2008. This product is relatively similar to its 2007 predecessor, the Nuvi 200W. While the 205W retains the same form-factor and many of the same features, it does introduce several new technologies as seen throughout the majority of 2008’s Nuvi product line. The 205W can save a total of 1000 custom locations and waypoints,...
