GPS for my sister's vehicle

I could get you a brand new Garmin Nuvi 200W for 159.99. Only West Marine (where I work) and Target are authorized by Garmin to sell the unit that cheap.

Tiger Direct sells them refurbished for $129.99 all day long. I too have the 200W.

Vanessa's boss for the Ambulance service she works for buys Garmin's off of eBay. You can get a nuvi 350 or nuvi 200W right now for $127.95 with free shipping or a nuvi 200 for $81.00 with free shipping.

I'm going to buy one as soon as I see how much money I have left over from Christmas shopping.

Once again.Go to a big box store and try one out.

Nearest best buy is 100 miles away, nearest circuit city who knows, maybe 200 miles? Doubt I'll be able to make that trip before she leaves.



Looks like so far people like the Garmins, I'll have to look into them.

Wal-Mart sells 'em but they are not cheap there. Amazon.com sells 'em cheaper...

And FYI, that voice control thing exists, but not in any of the models discussed in this thread. It's not a $200 option....

I guess I'll take a run to Walmart and see what they have, probably buy from Amazon though because I've dealt with them a lot.


I don't think she'd be too opposed to paying aroung $300 or $350 if they make a good one in that price range. She will be using it almost daily.

I have that.It works most of the time.Its just as easy to enter in the city/street.

The only real argument I see for voice control is if it worked well enough for occasional use through a Bluetooth headset on a motorcycle. Good luck getting a helmet quiet enough on the highway for that to work very well.
