Easy to use, Intuitive, but tradeoffs may annoy some power-users.

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: An easy to use model for the average driver who wants basic navigation from point A to point B, yet offers a few power-user features if you so desire.
Review: As a die hard user of traditional maps (and more recently, Google Maps on my iPhone) I have reluctantly held back from the temptation to buy an automotive based GPS system.

However, with a 7000 mile cross-country (and back) RV vacation...

Garmin 250W vs 200W, What's the difference?

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: You pay your money, and you make your choice. Are Canada and Alaska worth $50? You decide!
Review: Differences and Similarities
Externally, the Garmin 250W, and the 200W, appear to be identical, and there is a good reason for this. It's because they are. They have the same 4.3" 480x272pixel widescreen display, they have the same external...
