SMALL, POWERFUL, AND SIMPLE... After using the general TomTom One for six months (and being exclusively satisfied with it) I decisive to give the latest in Garmin engineering science a try. Garmin's most recent line of Nuvi's (the 200, 250, and 270) appears to be designed to combat the basic (and exceedingly popular) TomTom One, as they are designed with the utmost simplicity in mind. Garmin has in the end done away with all the bells and whistles of their past GPS models and stripped down their latest releases to the bare essentials. But don't let the simplicity of the Nuvi 200 fool you, it still packs rather a punch.
