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!!

Nuvi 205 does not have spoken street names but it does have voice guidance that says something like ” turn right in next 1 mile”. Users who typically find guidance through one of those green-freeway-signs are smart enough to figure the street name. Moreover, the street name is right on top of the screen. In my view, it is a waste of $$ to pay 100 bucks more for just yelling street names when it is right in front of you. Satellite acquisition and Route recalculation also seemed to have improved a bit. I have not used the traffic support and POI to offer any good comments. One little feature I find cool is the speed limit mentioned on the screen. This way user doesnt have to be on lookout for signs showing the limit. Of course, this is of little use to people who drive in left lane @ >70…

And for those of you who think that GPS should offer more..205 does have photo navigation, customized car-shaped icons, world travel clock, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator…..I wouldnt really give big grades for having them..

Hope that this review helps users..to navigate to the best GPS!!

This is a great product that works well and has all the features needed. Only glitch was when using it for the first time, in LA at the airport, it was determined to take us off the freeway and put us on surface streets. That was frustrating until I realized that the default setting had ‘traffic alert’ set on and it was trying to avoid some hold-ups on the freeway.

This is the best bathroom scale on the market! I especially liked the light-up and the within .2 pound weight features. It is very accurate and a terrific buy for the money. I love this item! It made me more aware of any weight gain/loss in my diet. I would heartily recommend this scale to anyone.

This friction mount works great. No more messing with that stupid windshield suction cup. This thing stays put and holds your garmin in place. Should have bought it sooner.

Initially purchased this vacuum to replace the toy I had been using. The suction on this vac is so strong that it really does pull itself along when you use it. After using for a few days, I had one sent to my mother. She has used many vacuums in her day, and she was wowed by this one. Believe the reviews, this product is really a great buy!

I was optimistic, and I wasn’t let down! My only complaint was that the story was too short, I couldn’t wait to see what Artemis would be up to next. I would not compare this to Harry Potter. This story stands on its own, with plenty of installments to keep you reading and waiting on the next adventure. Always full of surpises, written very well.
