This product is awesome. I bought this GPS for several reasons. The frist is because Garmin is a name you can trust. I use Garmins at school for Geocashing and their products are easy to use and can stand the handling of middle schools.
The second reason is the points of interest. The nuvi 205 can in the box ready to go. The maps are current, the GPS is easy to use, and the picture is great. My husband and I were impressed with the ease of using this technology on the road.
I can’t say anything bad about this product. I love it!!

Great buy. Great value for $$$ spent. Easy to use and understand. One electronic that is truly plug and play. No instructions needed, just push buttons and go anywhere.

I had to give the Nuvi 205 a 5-star rating because it’s better than the Nuvi 200, which has an average of 4.5 stars at Amazon. All in all, I’m glad I got the 205 vs. the 200. Not in any order are the following improvements I appreciated most:

The faster screen refresh is noticeable. There’s a YouTube video where the 205 is compared with the 200. You can see a huge difference.

The Garmin nüvi 205 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator is one of several updated models in the 200 series. It’s funny to admit this, but using some of the higher end versions has actually made me like this model more. Sure, this doesn’t have the 4.3 inch widescreen of the 600 series, or the W models like the Garmin nuvi 205W and Garmin Nuvi 255W. And it doesn’t give you Bluetooth like the 600 series and others. But what it does give you is a GPS unit that covers the basics very well, is very affordable, and has been updated with a LOT more features than entry level models from the competition. So if you need a starter GPS, this is probably the daddy of them all right now.

Ok..now I feel morally obliged to offer my review after reading so many other reviews to base my buying decision. The inner voice kept asking me to post a review even though it is boring like mowing somebody elses lawn.

I have used nuvi 205 couple of times and find it really well designed. Garmin has tweaked the screen-interface and I must say that it really works in favour of the users. Users care less about mp3 and other cosmetic stuff provided in nuvi 350. All we care about is a smart GPS that guides us through the best route. 205 has all those ingredients!!
