This in-depth review describes the Garmin Nuvi 205W GPS navigation unit and it's impressive features available for an affordable price. The 4.3-inch widescreen GPS unit has many benefits over comparable GPS units that have standard turn-by-turn directions. You'll be surprised by how much the 205 W model offers when it comes to re-directing, show the quickest (or longer) routes, and shortest distance options it offers to city and highway travelers. Find out here if the 205w is for you or if you should look for another option.Read more
