I got a chance to test drive one of these myself this weekend and I give it my personal thumbs up! I'll have a few pics and a brief review up in a day or two.

thanks for the info on this unit.. I look forward to putting it in my wife's car so she can find me at the bar on Friday Nights !!
All kidding aside, now that the wife and I are on our own and the kids are moved out. We find ourselves doing more traveling than we did in the past. We are looking forward to using the features this unit has to offer...and you can't beat the price
Wade, I know someone that can't ever find the meeting place when we meet up with a couple sponsors. I'm not going to name any names...but I'm thinking his better half Cheryl, should get him one for...oh, make up a holiday.
The trick is to contact her without letting HIM know.
PS He never looks in this forum anyway...so we're safe.
I've got the Nuvi 200W and it is also a great unit. I also thought I'd post this quote where Wade explains what the remanufactured units are.
Quote: Remanufactured units are great way to save money. In my opinion, anytime you can get in on a remanufactured product you want, as long as it carries the same warranty as the "new" unit, grab it. This unit carries that same one year warranty as "new".
Here's how this works. When electronics are manufactured and come off the assembly line, about one in ten are tested for quality assurance at most places. If that batch meets QA standards, the entire batch is put into distribution. Those units end up in the hands of customers and a number of them are dead on arrival, or have technical problems right out of the box. Since they are under warranty, the customer sends the defective unit back to the store, or to the manufacturer. Those defective units are then "remanufactured" (repaired) by the manufacturer, and (here's the key in my opinion) each unit is tested before it is then put back into distribution. Technically, it can not be sold as "new". So, they are sold as remanufactured units, usually at a healthy discount. The key for me is that instead of 10 percent of the units being tested, 100 percent of the remanufactured untis are tested before they are put on the market. You've got a better chance of receiving a working remanufactured unit than a working "new" unit. And both are covered under the one year manufacturer warranty. In my opinion, it's a win-win. The unit I have is remanufactured. No one would ever know the difference if we didn't write it on the box.
That's a rather lengthy explanation, but I think it's important that our members understand the advantages of remanufactured units. Again, as long as the warranty is the same as the "new" warranty, you have nothing to lose and can save yourself a few bucks in the process.

I received mine the beginning of this week. I was very happy with my first impression. I am currently on a buisness trip to Washington state. I loaded in my Hotel address, the airport address, and the site I had to visit. I never once even looked at a map!! it took me to every single place I need with out a hitch. I can not imagine a better unit for this kind of money. It's awsome. Thanks Wade!!

Chad, That's awesome! That's been my experience too. I remember when a GPS similar to this one was over $1000 and that was only 4-5 years ago. Now we can get these for a couple hundred bucks. Gotta love it!
