    First Garmin Nuvi 200 GPS Review: Barebones, Fast, Capable

    DSC_0013.jpgI'd written about the highly capable c580 GPS the other day with endless bells and whistles—not all of them useful.

    Now I've gotten my hands on that cheap-o Nuvi 200 and I have to say, testing them side by side, they gave nearly identical performances in terms of warning me of turns, locking onto satellites, and ease of use. It thankfully didn't have the neat, but flawed MSNDirect service, and MP3 player. One thing omitted that I missed? The text-to-speech ability for reading street names during nav. Still, I'm in love with how it does the basics.

    Here it is: A sub-$500 navigator with a kick-ass UI and pathfinding performance. Highly recommended.
