garmin 205/215

What is the difference between the garmin 205, 205w, 215?
They all seem to be pretty much the same apart from the w having 1 inch bigger screen. Why is one 50% more expensive than the other?

The 205w is the widescreen version of the 205

Not 100% certain but I think the 215 has bluetooth built in to make it a handsfree kit aswell

Latest update.
According to supplier the 205w is the Widescreen version of the 205, and the 215 is just a newer model with almost the same features.

Got the box standard 205 for 70 squid, and it is much better than my friend's tomtom.

Tested it on 2 "shortcut routes" where tomtom sent me around the houses through what looked like alley ways and still managed to do a detour.

On both test runs, the garmin came up with the best route exactly as I know them, and gave the next best alternative every time I looped around a traffic jam.

Provided it lasts, very good value for money.
