Nuvi 200 with microSD slot

Every thing I am reading on the web says standard SD card. As you can see from the pics below it is a 200 with microSD

 

Yes, Ether we bought this just for paperless caching. We already have GSAK paid registered version and have already loaded our POI into it. We will test it tomorrow.

Hmm, this is getting very interesting.

As Redwoods Mtn Biker says, 3 data fields is a 2x5 series.

This has 3 data fields!

 

This is what the screen of a 200 looks like.

This is what a 205 looks like and also what mine looks like.

I will be doing some more research today. So far it looks like we got one heck of a bargain for $128!

A little more poking around in comparison to the 205 this morning.

This 200 has Where Am I? (find closest hospitals, police & gas stations, nearest address & intersection) not suppose to though only 205.

 

Is there any way to tell how many waypoints it can hold without filling it up?

This is about the only other difference between the 2 that really matters to us.

Actually, according to the Garmin web site, the Where Am I feature (for nearest police station, gas station) is available on the 205 but not on the 200.

The other difference I saw between the two units is that the 205 has 4 hour of battery life instead of 5 on the 200. But for the price you paid, what a deal!

 

A way to get more information from the diagnostic screen (though, unfortunately, probably not the information you really need):

Chrysalides, thanks for the link to the diag screens.

Holding on average speed gave me one set of diags

Holding on the battery meter another set, picture below.

Holding on the sat level gave me the satellite diags.

 

Also shown below is a screen shot while we stopped for lunch.

I am pretty much convinced we have a 205 in 200 clothes. I also seen the settings for MSN and FM traffic in the diagnostics.

 

Sorry these pics are not very clear as i was using my cell phone camera.

I think this is Garmin's way of reducing their internal inventory without publicly discontinuing (yet) the nuvi 200 (and likely other models as well). There are ~40 nuvis out right now. Garmin, as well as the consumer is likely having trouble keeping the nuvi mess sorted.
