"Excellent entry level GPS"
4.5 starson by nedsgPros: No flip up antenna - Bright screen
Cons: Only one power source -in car, No text to speech
Summary: I had a Garmin 350 last year until it got ran over accidently. Great GPS,fast forward to now.
I was about to order another one when the Garmin 200 series came to the market.
I did some research and figured why not go for an entry level GPS.
I found that the 350 had many features that I just didn't use,and the 200 just fit the bill.
The great thing is that the A/C charger that came with my 350 also works with my 200.
I did notice that the 200 has a little trouble finding satellites indoors, but outside in the car I never lost reception.
This is a GPS you could buy for your parents and they would have very little trouble using it.
This GPS doesn't have text to speech, but after having a GPS with it, I really didn't miss it that much,and it can't be beat at its price point.
The maps could use a little update and you have to search a little while to find certain POI's.
Over all this is an excellent GPS.
I found it at Shipdog.com for under $300.00!

Dear Nedsg,<br>I am debating between getting a Garmin Nuvi 350 and a Garmin Nuvi 200. Since you have used both, I was hoping to get your comments. Is there one that you would recommend over the other? Getting accurate directions and satellite fix is the most important thing to me. Does the external antenna on the 350 make a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!
