Looking to get a GPS receiver as a gift for someone. I don't want to break the bank and am hoping I can get something fully functional for under $200. Right now I'm looking at the Garmin Nuvi 200W for around $180.
Does anyone have experience with this model, pros and cons?

Just to clarify, I'm looking at vehicle-mount units and not handhelds.

I like the Nuvi 200 (the only difference between the Nuvi 200 and 200w is screen size I think). It does everything I need it to do. Nothing fancy but gets the job done. It also has modes for walking and biking if you need to use it that way.
I've got the tom tom one... I think it cost about 200 bucks... works fine, takes GPS coodinates from google Earth, I don't mess with the points of interest much. THere is a walking feature... but by the time I'm walking I usually know where I am headed....
Incidently, I started a similar thread on the forums that I frequent, and most came back saying Tom Tom, for map quality, that's why I bought that one...
