Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 205 GPS Navigation System:

great so far, although my previous magellean lasted less than 2 yrs so I'm hopeing this garmin lasts longer. Could use miles to destination count down as part of the screen after you enter a route. Nice to know how many more miles total to go. Also could use pick/choice of surface roads or express ways.

Comments about Garmin Garmin Nuvi 205 GPS Navigation System:

I don't travel more than a few miles from home usually so I always need help with directions and cannot read a map. This was fairly easy to use and accurate. The only quibble is that I found it a bit difficult to enter an address in a format it would recognize but that may have just been my problem. I am sure it will get easier with more use.
