I have a Garmin Nuvi 200W that we don't really need. It has the windshield suction cup, power cord and manual. Give me a good reason why you'd like it and a promise to use it geocaching and it's yours...FREE!:)

I live close so I can pick it up. I don't have one for the geo-truck and I promise to use GSAK to load it full of caches.

Damn, you are cheap! I was going to offer beer and then have a nuvi in both of my caching mobiles.

I was wondering what the crazy voicemail was on my phone that sounded like Jim pretending to be a woman and telling me not to go to Dan's house because it was a trap. Now it all makes sense!

I loaded the nuvi with 750 POIs for the nearest winter friendly caches tonight! I will be putting it to good use Dan. Thanks again!

You will like that a lot. I used mine everyday and it was great. Mine got upset when I would not follow it's directions exactly because the roads it wanted me to drive on were ruffer than others. It swears and hollers a little but if you turn the volume down everything will be fine.

Yep, mine too. Dora starts cussing - "fine, go 500 ft and make a da** U-Turn, then do as I TOLD you to do and get on I-95 and drive South to Florida you simpleton".

I wish I could use Buford T. Justice from Smokey and the Bandit.

Or a Nuvi that quits working when you don't follow her directions.

"You are the weakest link. Good bye."

I have a question about Nuvi voices. So far, I have tried 2 voices. One is Dr Nightmare. He used to scare me out of the drivers seat when I was driving along long country roads and he would come out with a loud statement about the full moon! :eek: Then, on the way to my Uncles military service in Augusta, he commented that my car was nice, but it was no hearse, and did I want to go to the BONEYARD??? Looking back, it is humorous, but not so back then! :eek::D
So, I switched to the squirrel and he chats non stop but says the same things over and over! I would never hurt an animal, but get the urge to buy a pellet gun when I hear his voice! :D
So my question is, what do you experienced Nuvi owners find to be the least intrusive Nuvi voice? I would appreciate any input. :)

There are so many you will have to do a search for Nuvi voices and find one the suites you. I kind of like one of the Stewie voices. I also have a Cluso one that people like.

We just use the Samantha that came on the unit. Most all the others are just annoying. And I am used to not fully paying full attention to what women say, so when she keeps telling me I've messed up I'm familiar with it.

We have Judge Judy. She yells "Objection" if I miss a turn and found me in contempt when I tried to climb Kennabago Mountain with Di's Highlander!:D

I have gotten used to Samantha telling me where to go. There are only two women that have that opportunity and she is quite good at it.

There was a nav unit years ago that had John Cleese from Monty Python. That was a great voice!
