Garmin Nuvi 200

[modelbuilder]

Hey All,

I came across this one at Target for $100 on clearence....I am a bit GPS "stupid" so I have these questions for you....can I....

...load maps into the system, load way points from my computer, use it for geocaching, and use it for some desert exploration.

Also does the TOPO USA 2008 map for Garmin worth the money?

Can I load this file onto this system?

I know this one is no frills but can it get me around the Southern California Desert?

That does look like a great deal on that Nuvi. I don't think you can load TOPO maps to that version of the Nuvi though. You can load the KMZ on there, but you'll have to turn it into a gpx or garmin format before you can. There are several tools to do that, but my favorite is GPS Babel:

Good luck!

Nuts about the Topo maps....any suggestions for low cost no frills gps systems that can load good affordable Topo Maps.
