Garmin International (News - Alert) has launched the nuvi 200W and the nuvi 250W -- two simple-to-use and affordable widescreen GPS navigators.
“Many customers want a larger display on their personal navigation device, and the nuvi 200W series delivers,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales in a statement to the press.
“The nuvi sets the industry standard for elegant design and a simplified user interface, and these newest units represent the pinnacle in widescreen entry-level PNDs,” he added.
Boasting a bright, sunlight readable 4.3-inch color touchscreen display (480x272 pixels), the nuvi 200W series incorporates a high-sensitivity internal GPS antenna that makes it thinner and even easier to mount in a car.
The company provides its intuitive "Where to?" and "View map" welcome screen at startup, which enables quick searches of addresses or nearly six million points of interest like restaurants, hotels, attractions, gas stations, and more.
While turn-by-turn, voice-prompted directions guide the driver to their destination, nuvi automatically recalculates a route and gets them back on track if they miss a turn along the way.
Garmin’s GPS navigators also feature extras like a built-in picture viewer, calculator, currency converter, unit converter and world clock. Travel Guide and SaversGuide databases are also up for sale that can further help users to have an enjoyable and economical drive.
Garmin has also included Garmin Lock, an innovative theft prevention system for additional security. The system can disable the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location.
The new products enable the customers to augment the preloaded maps with custom points of interest from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras. The nuvi 200W and the nuvi 250W include a vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disk, and quick start manual.
