Small, light and accurate, with a ton of onboard info.

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Nuvi 250 is a fine pocket GPS that will open up your world to explore, without getting you lost along the way.
Review: I purchased this GPS after moving to a new city, to help me navigate around until I learned where everything is located.

The Nuvi250 is a small unit, fitting easily in one hand. It has only 1 sliding button, that turns the unit on or can...

Garmin 250W vs 200W, What's the difference?

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: You pay your money, and you make your choice. Are Canada and Alaska worth $50? You decide!
Review: Differences and Similarities
Externally, the Garmin 250W, and the 200W, appear to be identical, and there is a good reason for this. It's because they are. They have the same 4.3" 480x272pixel widescreen display, they have the same external...

Garmin nuvi 250W Car GPS Receiver.

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2008
Review: I love mine. The 4.3" screen is great. Easy to use. The screen with the compass direction and large speedometer reading is great. Another nice feature is the instant "next turn" audible and video diplay. The easy to read expected arrival time is...

Good Inexpensive Portable Navigator

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you go to unfamiliar or new places often, buy one. I don't think the price will go down much further.
Review: INTRODUCTION. I ve always wanted to buy a GPS navigation system for my car since the device became popular a few years ago. I knew the price was steadily declining, as most of electronics tend to do the first couple of years, and I had to guess at...

Zero problems - Excellent unit!

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: It's a great unit that gets the job done and doesn't break the bank.
Review: I have now had this unit for 4 months and it has bailed me out MANY times. It is really uncanny how accurate it is.

On occasion you will think "no way, I shouldn't be turning here" so you don't only to find that the unit WAS right. The...

Really pleased with the 250W

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2008
Review: The other reviewers did a great job and I pretty much agree with their comments. I was impressed with its accuracy and speed. It really is a functional device. It takes the guesswork out of trying to find a Starbucks in a new area. I like that.
