4.0 out of 5 stars A very good entry-level satnav, 11 Sep 2009
By P. Stephens (Bath, B&NES United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I don't really need a satnav, but wanted one anyway so this cost-saving 'overhauled' item seemed a good idea (and is proving to be). It came in proper original packaging with all the accessories, and although Garmin's website said "this serial number has already been registered", a call to their support line fixed the problem straight away. I'm also glad I got a non-widescreen one, as the display is big enough and easy to carry.

The 205 is very easy to use - just a series of touch-screen menus with handy options for 'Where to?' and "Where am I?" near the top of the tree. It's also very quick at finding satellites and calculating routes, as well as, crucially, recalculating them if you go off course (I missed an exit at a roundabout and it had me back on course within 100 yards). Apparently this speed of operation is a major improvement over the 200 model. The voice instructions (a rather stern-sounding lady) are clearly audible, but you do need to watch the screen as well, since they can sometimes be confusing. On one local route the lady says "turn right then left", which would send you down a dead end. Howewever the display shows clearly that she really means "turn right then stay on that street, following it round to the left".

Because it's quick, it can pivot the 3D maps so they always show your straight-ahead view, so 'turn left' is always shown as left on the screen, even if you very recently took a 90-degree right. This makes it easy to follow the directions, even when making repeated sharp turns in urban traffic systems. If you use the voice instructions as prompts to look at the screen, you won't go far wrong.

The mapping data (latest version) seems pretty accurate. I drove from Bath to south-east London, and on the way back it took me on a very neat, time-saving route through the back-streets of SW1. There's no mention of the London Congestion Charge zone in the documentation, but it is, in fact, there - choose 'toll roads' under 'Avoid' (it doesn't know about weekends being free though, so you have to switch them off again).

The points of interest data isn't so impressive. The three nearest fuel stations it lists from my house all, in fact, stopped selling fuel at least three years ago (10 in one case), while it curiously fails to mention either of Bath's two full-size supermarkets (both at least 15 years old) under 'food'. Given that Bath is one of the most-visited cities in the UK, you'd think they'd try harder to stay up to date.

This is an entry-level model, so it's bound to omit some advanced features. The most noticeable is its inability to save routes. You can save destinations and use them as via points (for example, Bath to Swindon via Chippenham), but you can't save custom routes you've built this way; instead you have to re-create them each time. It does have some nifty average speed/fuel calculation features though, and can display a 'trip log' which shows you exactly where you've driven on the map.

The nuvi 205 does its core job of telling you which turn to take next extremely well, and in a strange town on a dark night it would be absolutely priceless (watch out for your own petrol stations though). My overhauled unit is basically as new, so I'm happy with the saving too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the money, 25 Nov 2009
By Peter Bunker - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I always wait a while before submitting a review, so I know what I'm talking about. Many people write a review when they received the product yesterday and have hardly unpacked it. I have had mine a good six months and use it every day. Firstly, and most importantly, it works fine. It doesn't sing to you, connect to a bluetooth or have any bells and whistles, but for a good, basic satnav that will get you to where you want to be, you will not be disappointed. I am a domiciliary health worker, and was in danger of driving in to the back of the car in front as, like many of my ilk, I would try and read a map and drive at the same time. Now, I bung in the post code and relax. A little local knowledge will always help - only you know which local streets get snarled at school pickup time, but the satnav will quickly re-route you when you have finished your creative intervention. A fellow further down the list gave this a bad review because "it doesn't give you the distance to destination". It does. This is clearly someone who has just opened the box and not read the instructions. It will give you a load of extra info at the touch of a button, it just doesn't like cluttering the screen with non-essential info. It gives you the information necessary to get you where you want to go. If you want extra stuff, like average speed, max speed, direction of travel etc, it will give it you: just hit a button. The screen is plenty big enough - you don't need a wide screen. My eyes are rubbish, and I can read it just fine. It does a very good job of telling you where speed cameras are, but you still need to use common sense. The road-widening work on the M1 is a rolling feast - you cannot expect your satnav to know the precise details all the time. Use your common sense.

In short, if you want a good, functional satnav, buy this. If you want something to massage your neck or vibrate your seat, buy something costing £300.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great first sat-nav!, 5 Oct 2009
By Mr. D. J. Witt - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great sat-nav for those who have never had one before and just want something entry-level and cheap (like me). It always finds good satellite signal and gets you where you want to go. The screen is bright, clear and easy to understand. The voice instructions can seem a little blunt and to the point, but it is functional and you can always customise various features or add maps using the memory card slot. The only real problems are problems that you can aim at all sat-nav's in general. The source of any error is likely to come from human input or the mapping not being quite up-to-date (although the maps have been fine for me so far). Also the way small sections of a route are planned, particularly on short journeys can seem a little strange, but often this is down to the coldly logical way a computer thinks, and still works perfectly well, it just provokes a "that's not how I would have done it" reaction from the user. Overall, this is a good, slim, lightweight, and functional entry into the world of satellite navigation and is highly recommended for those reasons. 5 stars!
