The Garmin Nuvi 205 is great except the software included with it is old. I live in Arizona where there is a lot of growth. The software has got to be at least three years old. If you want to find a place in a newly built area, the Garmin cannot find it. I would not buy this again unless it provided free updates on the mapping software.

My wife doesn't like navigating for me as it often turns into a minor fight. Now we just set our destination when we are in an unfamiliar place, and let the device take my frustration. But here is the nice part: it's always correct and I don't have any frustration to give.
