garmin 205

[srtga]

Any input? I was going to get a wide screen but my car is pretty small. I've been using my verizon voyager with vz navigator for about a year so the 3" screen will be a step up. I'm interested in running trapster.

My sister has one (a 205) and loves it.

I have a 200W as well and love that.


IMO you can't go wrong with the Garmin Nuvi, it so easy to load the POI's from trapster.

"I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 205 today and it is a very nice unit with many useful features. It's fine for those who don't want the larger screens of the W models and it's also faster than the 200's."

I work in the south so I'm fluent in Ebonics.

Faster with what? Acquiring sats? My sisters and mine take the exact same time... within ~5seconds of each other?

The big thing is: When its acquiring them I try not to drive...

Thanks for the translation BTW, I am good with teh internetz slang, and a bit of hood-talk, but the ill-logical rambling of Ebonics without any sort of punctuation gets me everytime.

I got trapster on it today but I don't have a trip until later in the week. Seems like a pretty neat unit so far although I now understand why folks say go with a widescreen for the QWERTY.
The keypad isn't the easiest to type on because it's in alphabetic order.

I have had my 205W for about a week and I love it!

Compared to the factory DVD-based GPS in our Magnum, the 205W does everything faster. -Finds locations, calculates routes, etc.

My favorite "speed" advantage is re-calculating routes. Miss the turn? The route is ready instantly. (In the Magnum, you sometimes miss the next turn (after missing the the original turn) before the computer can calculate and display it.

Oh snap!

I'm glad I got the "W" then.

Yea, something to be aware of when choosing!
I can live with it because a widescreen would block half my windshield...
