My brother has a 200 nuvi model and wants something better. However I really don’t know what all features to look for in a higher range Garmin.
The 295W isn’t bad, and it is only $89 now, but it seems its biggest selling point is it has a camera built in which isn’t too big an appeal. The 1350T is only $120. There are other models in that price range too, but I’m not sure which features are worth it.
He told me he wanted one with ‘better features’ than the 200 model. My other brother has the 265T and likes the traffic features since he can avoid traffic. However that only works in a handful of large cities. Plus his 265T had voice directions, which the 200 did not.
I think the 1350T is a good bet since it has free traffic, text-to-speech, shows the speed limits and has 6 million points of interest. All of which are good improvements over the 200 model.
Are there other features in the mid-range Garmins that other people have found that were a massive improvement over the 200/205 models?
