I bought this item about a month ago and find it very useful. I live in Los Angeles so a GPS system is very helpful finding my way around. I agree with another reviewer that the load time is a bit slow, but nothing that would cause me to have an issue with it. The maps themselves are Navtech maps and are used in the majority of preinstalled GPS systems of major car makers. There are several options with the 'advanced' mode and the basic mode offers simple navigation tools. I would recommend this to anyone considering a GPS system who doesn't want to spend over $500.

After looking into several models of Auromotive GPS, I got this unit for my wife @ Christmas. I have used it several times, and find it to be well built and reliable. The unit is easy to use, if you spend a few minutes looking at the instructions, and has a bigger screen than any other portable units, as far as I can see. Also, the windshield suction cup mount that comes with it is well-built, adheres to the glass very reliably, and is strong,without bounce or sway. The sound of the voice is decent also.

Great product. I purchased for my wife and it works very well for her.
Though the unit is a little slow to load the maps compared to models twice the price, it certainly works smoothly once loaded.

I also use the product for road trips and it is nice having the entire US preloaded into the unit. other units require plugging into a computer.

For the price/size, you can't beat it.

I spent a great deal of time researching navigation systems online before deciding on the Delphi Nav200. I began my search looking to spend between $200-$300 max. Having just moved to a new city, I decided it would serve me well in an area with confusing streets and poor sinage. I'm satisfied with my purchase. My Delphi nav system provides VERY accurate directions, and offers many features uncommon among systems at its price level. Not only does it show me exactly where I am, it tells me how far I have to go, how long it will take me to get there given current speed, and offers numerous views. Voice directions are loud and clear (volume can be adjusted). There are, however, a couple down-sides. Although the Delphi has an extensive POI database, you really do need to know the name of your destination as searching by category has proven difficult if not impossible on several occasions. The screen is large, but the many options I mentioned earlier are displayed along the sides during use making the map itself smaller. It can take several minutes to acquire satellite connection with each startup, but signal is strong and constant once acquired. Overall, I remain pleased with my purchase despite a few flaws. I think it would beat competitors in a side-by-side comparison.

I have only used it once,but I was impressed with it. The one feature that I really liked was the way that it showed the curves in the road as they were coming up. If you are traveling on a road that you don,t know it is very useful.....

We purchased this unit right before we left for an extensive family trip, and overall we loved it! We had never used GPS before, and made sure we took maps for back up. MapQuest being one of the resources. We had only one minor problem. This problem was matched by MapQuest and the GPS unit. It seems that the incorrect information is loaded into each database. We ended up on the side of a mountain on a very narrow dead end road, and had to back about two miles up the road (not an easy task towing a 30 foot travel trailer). We were stopped by a local, who said that happens all the time! He has contacted MapQuest, and was told that it takes two years to correct the data.
We loved the fact that we could pick a point of interest in the various cities, and the GPS was able to take us right to the location!

I've owned the NAV 200 for about a month now. so far, I've used it to guide me on a trip from Michigan to Florida, and to get me around the Sunshine State. It's been excellent. I've probably only scratched the surface of its capabilities. My only concern so far is that reading the display is next to impossible when I'm wearing sunglasses. This is a problem. Other than that, the system works as advertised; I'm glad I bought it.

My nav200 was having the problem that other people mentioned with "new route" always being shown for the last 3 months. Finally my nav200 died a couple of days ago meaning that the buttons light up but the screen is dark.

Apparently there is no reset button to try. Also there is no user-replaceable battery. I just finished reading the user manual on the CD so this information is accurate.

I guess it's dead for good. The tech support phone number at delphi is not operating on sunday nights as I write this. I would have called for help. But I see that several other users have had this same problem and I see that theirs is permanently dead too so I guess I wont bother wasting my time with the support phone call.

When it was working it worked pretty well. However it showed the hourglass for 15 seconds at a time which is too much when you are in a car but its ok when you are sitting at a desk. Of course you dont use this kind of device at a desk. Also the "I agree it's not Delphi's fault if I crash" contract window popped up every time you turned it on and you had to click that button which is annoyhing and not easy when driving, almost caused me to crash. You have be very careful in pointing because there is a Cancel button below it which sometimes you hit by mistake if you drive over a bump. OVerall the startup speed took like 60 seconds which is very annoying unless you are sitting a desk.


I paid $300 which is a lot of money for a brick after only 1.5 years of use.

I guess I wont be buying another Delphi because I cant afford to buy another GPS every 1.5 years.

The Delphi 200 gps is a great tool for those of us who travel quite a bit. It doesn't have all the features that the other gps navagation systems have but was much less expensive and gives us what we need. The order was shipped and delivered when promised. Great service.

The Delphi NAV200 is an amazing gift to give. It offers easy to handle controls with large font and bright colors. It also mounts easy and creates less of a blindspot than other GPSs. The price tag is right, and recently we drove around our little rural town in Rhode Island and it never lost us nor sent us the wrong way. It is good to know that this particular GPS knows the short route.
