Garmin nüvi 200W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator
Garmin’s nüvi 200W combines the thin profile and attractive price point of other nüvi 200-series GPS with and a beautiful 4.3-inch (diagonally) wide touchscreen that lets you see more of what’s around you as you drive.

See More of What’s Around The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen.

Smart, Powerful Design nüvi is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data.

This model is a dead end - don’t go there!
I bought the Nuvi 200W as a basic automobile GPS, and it is. The mapping and directions work as well as any, and I have no complaints there.

Won’t hold entire USA
I got the Nuvi 200W about a year ago and it has been perfect until now. It began showing a message that the 2008 map was outdated and should be updated to 2009.
