Garmin nuvi 270 Review

CNet took the Garmin nuvi 270 out for a spin, and here’s what they have to say about it.

At 3.8 inches wide by 2.8 inches high by 0.8 inch deep and 5.2 ounces, the Garmin Nuvi 200 isn’t that much bigger than today’s latest smart phones or PDAs; in other words, it’s pretty compact. It helps that the GPS antenna is now integrated into the device, unlike older Nuvi models like the Garmin Nuvi 350, which had a flip-up antenna. And while the Nuvi 200 is probably a little too bulky to fit into a pants pocket comfortably, you’ll have no problem carrying it in a bag, using it on foot, or transporting it between vehicles.

According to CNet, the downside includes a missing volume button on the side, and the need to use the touch interface for just about everything. If you’re looking for a functional and basic GPS navigation system, it sounds like the nuvi 270 makes for a decent purchase. Bear in mind that the 200, 250, 260, and 270 are all the same devices with different map options.
