Very easy to use

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2009
Review: One of the main reasons I selected this unit was because of earlier reviewers stating how easy it was to use - they were right! Had it out of the box, EASY suction mount down low on the windshield of my car, plugged into the 12v outlet, and down the...

Makes my life easier

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2009
Review: Overall, I purchased the Garmin n vi 250 Car GPS Receiver because I was sick of printing out MapQuest directions, trying to read them as I drove, pulling out my reading glasses and all that. The interface is nice and simple. I would prefer an option...

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: This unit will get you where you want to go
Review: Ease of use and a long battery life make the Garmin n vi 250 Car GPS Receiver a great GPS unit. The box comes with everything you need to use it immediately including a window mount and charger. If you ever need to, you can connect it to your PC for...

Impressive unit

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: Gets you from A to B!
Review: Simple navigation at an affordable price that's n vi 250. This entry-level personal travel assistant comes with preloaded maps for North America or Europe. The Garmin n vi 250 Car GPS Receiver is an easy to use model for the average driver who wants...

excellent value

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2009
Review: I got this to replace my tomtom. It is much more slim line and gits in your pocket so its easier to carry about reducing the need to leave it in the car. It also has lists of services nearby or in a specific city such as parking, types of shops etc...

Great!

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2009
Review: I LOVE this Garmin! My husband and I both have this one. It is very easy to type in either an address or the name of a destination. It's also very easy to take the unit down, type in your information and put it back in it's display arm. I found that...

Easy to use, Intuitive, but tradeoffs may annoy some power-users.

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: An easy to use model for the average driver who wants basic navigation from point A to point B, yet offers a few power-user features if you so desire.
Review: As a die hard user of traditional maps (and more recently, Google Maps on my iPhone) I have reluctantly held back from the temptation to buy an automotive based GPS system.

However, with a 7000 mile cross-country (and back) RV vacation...

Weird directions and Got me lost

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: I don't recommend this GPS.
Review: We purchased this GPS to use with our motor home. Getting lost in a vehicle that is 30 feet long is frightening. So we looked at reviews on the internet and then went shopping. We found a good price on this Garmin GPS at Best Buy. We opened it...

No more excuses...Nuvi 200 Review

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Simple, Basic and easy to use GPS. Can't go wrong.
Review: Having used Garmin products in rental cars, I was fairly familiar and comfortable using GPS. I knew that the GPS beat the heck out of Mapquest, guessing or stopping to ask for diretions.

The TomTom v. Garmin debate is a legit one and I...
