West Marine has the Nuvi 200w back on sale right now. Picked up one this am.
My local store also had winchester single blade gentleman style knife for under 5 bucks. Picked up a bunch for stocking stuffers.
Nuvi 200W back on sale
Moderators: CaptPatrick, mike ohlstein, Bruce
Bruce do you have a clue? If anyone wants one or the other just google them both and compare. The 255W has about 80 more features so that about a buck each. I really like the fact it speaks the street name instead of just saying turn left. It also has no Where Am I? (find closest hospitals, police & gas stations, nearest address & intersection)"
Oh yea Bruce the 250W was released in 2005. They should give it to you for free.

Nope and never expect to.Bruce do you have a clue
I bought the 200W from West Marine the a week & half before Thanksgiving for $150 and now it's $119, that's a great deal.
It does all you need, I don't need it to hold music or pics, I've got other gadgets for that.
We used it on our annual Gettysburg Camping trip and found some new short cuts and made bumping around town a lot easier.
