Had the 200 and loved it.. got stolen.
Went to Circuit City paid for a 200 on sale for $225 and they gave me the 200W. Same item just wider. Great GPS. Highly recommend for the money. Im an estimator and use it about 8x a day so I can tell you it works great.

I have the 250W and have enjoyed it quite a bit. It has a darker frame as compared to some of the other models which are all silver. I prefer the darker frame since there isn't a bit of silver on the inside of my DII.
buy it, get either the 200w or 250w
worth what little you will pay, has all the features you would need, size is good. If you need a bunch of features, get something different, but for simple navi, it is great

I had a StreetPilot C330 and decided to get a Nuvi 250. I absolutely love the 250. Get it and you will not be disappointed.

Once you get a nav, dont leave it or anything associated with it in your truck. The crooks are hot and heavy for these things right now.even if its not in your vehicle, if they see a mount on your windsheild, they will break your window to get in!
check out this deal, not bad...$295:

I have the Nuvi 680, got it for $400 during a Thanksgiving sale. I haven't used it too much but it seems to be pretty good. Also check out Costco.com. They have even better deals on the Nuvis if you have a membership.

had the streetpilot, loved it, but it was heavy and would fall off the window alot. got a nuvi for xmas, love the smaller size, but it gets less reception than the streetpilot. also it gets confused sometimes, the streetpilot didnt. but it also never falls off the window. nuvi is better for that reason IMO. either way, they pay for themselves. if your broke down, it has phone numbers for wreckers, hotels, etc. indespenable on road trips.
got the Nuvi 660 for my girlfriend, its nice, but there is something about my streepilot that makes it more of a geek's GPS...I must say tho the quadrafillar antennae on the new units blow away the older patch style ants
