Garmin Nuvi 200 - great value2008-11-22
I chose the Garmin Nuvi 200 because I just wanted a basic GPS and didn't want to spend much on it. I guess I must be easily entertained because I have really enjoyed using it and it works flawlessly.
If you like a lot of bells and whistles this probably isn't for you as there are a number of other models out there that do a number of other things but I wanted basic turn by turn driving instructions and found the Nuvi 200 to do that quite well.
Includes a Trojan Horse2008-11-19
Works about as well as any other brand on the market, but after using it for a year the unit is programmed to force a "Map Update Notice" screen to pop up each time the unit is turned on.. Very annoying because that screen stays on unless you acknowledge it by pushing "OK"! Who wnats to pay for a "tool" and then have it change its ease of use after a year. This "feature" was not part of the specs when I bought it!!!
Garmin nuvi 2002008-11-17
it will get you there. it may sometimes tell you to turn an incorrect direction but it will alway re-direct you to the right location.
The NUVI is great, Amazon not so great.2008-11-17
First off I really like my NUVI200 by Garmin. It has gotten me to where I needed to be. My only con, and it is more my problem then the units is the touch screen is too small for my fingers. I have big hands and I would sometime hit a button wrong but i have fixed this by takeing one of my kid's DS styless and use it on the screen. Works well. MY problem is with Amazons "free" shipping. It took almost 2 weeks to get my item. I was not in a hurry but it was sent in such a roundabout way that i will never use it again. I live in New Jersey and the item was sent from Las Vegas distribution center rather then one on the east coast. Then trucked to southern Cali before shipping across the country. My GPS needed a GPS.
Watch out -- Map Updates cost $70 +2008-11-15
I purchased my Garmin in November 2007. In September 2008, the Garmin completely stopped functioning and directed me to purchase a map update on their site. I went to the site and discovered that I needed to first purchase a USB cable to connect the device. $20 and two weeks later, the cable arrived.

I logged onto the Garmin's website and went through an hour long product registration process to see if I qualified for a free map update. At the end of a frustrating hour long registration, I was told that I did not qualify for a free map update and got a 10% coupon for select products.

The map update for this device is $70 and the 10% discount did not apply to this update. Since my Garmin is useless without this update, I decided purchase it. The download took 4 hours on a high speed connection. If you purchase this device, beware that annual updates will cost almost as much as the device.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
