PERFECT INTRO GPS
We have a higher-end Nuvi (765t) and this one is for our second car I can barely tell the difference in route calculation and how fast it gets the signal. Lots of restaurants and other points of interest, and the cool features of the 7-series. Worth every penny!

AWFUL: WASTE OF TIME/MONEY AND HAZARDOUS
I'm a yacht racer for whom Garmin has always been THE name in navigation. So I was outraged by the poor performance of the nuvi 205w. It took me OFF highways onto routes I KNEW to be longer, through neighborhoods, with lights and traffic -- AFTER updating the software online and changing settings as recommended by Tech Support, who seemed genuinely concerned about the issues. Once I turned onto the better way to go, it took so long to recalculate, by the time it told me the next turn, I was on it! Trying to make an exit at the last second, cutting across lanes in DC traffic, this thing was going to GET ME KILLED. It sent me 16 miles afield to the wrong location for the largest movie theatre in Northern Virginia. I'd be sitting in front of a building that the Garmin was telling me was on the next block. A friend and I both couldn't find a bar because of the wrong location given by our Garmins. On the way there, it put us both on a dark, windy, narrow, unlit, two-lane road instead of the six-lane, 55-mph highway a few hundred yards away, and said to turn left WHERE THERE WAS NO LEFT TURN ALLOWED! The Garmin routinely conflicted with GoogleMaps on my PDA, which always seemed spot-on. Maybe they need to get a licensing agreement with Google. But this unit does NOT "deliver the goods"! Mine is back in the box for a refund.
