My nav200 was having the problem that other people mentioned with "new route" always being shown for the last 3 months. Finally my nav200 died a couple of days ago meaning that the buttons light up but the screen is dark.
Apparently there is no reset button to try. Also there is no user-replaceable battery. I just finished reading the user manual on the CD so this information is accurate.
I guess it's dead for good. The tech support phone number at delphi is not operating on sunday nights as I write this. I would have called for help. But I see that several other users have had this same problem and I see that theirs is permanently dead too so I guess I wont bother wasting my time with the support phone call.
When it was working it worked pretty well. However it showed the hourglass for 15 seconds at a time which is too much when you are in a car but its ok when you are sitting at a desk. Of course you dont use this kind of device at a desk. Also the "I agree it's not Delphi's fault if I crash" contract window popped up every time you turned it on and you had to click that button which is annoyhing and not easy when driving, almost caused me to crash. You have be very careful in pointing because there is a Cancel button below it which sometimes you hit by mistake if you drive over a bump. OVerall the startup speed took like 60 seconds which is very annoying unless you are sitting a desk.
I paid $300 which is a lot of money for a brick after only 1.5 years of use.
I guess I wont be buying another Delphi because I cant afford to buy another GPS every 1.5 years.
