 Garmin Nuvi 250w July 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I shopped and read reviews on this for a while prior to buying it. I noticed you can get the unit for a few dollars less other places , but most of them were refurbished units. I didn't feel comfortable with this due to possible problems. who knows how a factory recertified unit was treated prior to return, could be new could be abused and left in a hot car for days, this can affect the battery life and charging. I was also concerned with screen scratches.
Buying it at Amazone was the best Price/risk factor. Garmin allowed a free update for the unit and this was great.
No risk at all buying a new one from Aamzon.
If you save $30, sounds good but most refurbished units had a shipping charge which brings down the savings. Now you are talking about $10 or$15, you may end up with a bad unit which will cost you shipping to send back and get repaired.
The download for the update does take long , apx 3 hrs in my system.
The unit works great, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work it. It does everything it is suppose to do for the user. I like the wide screen version.It is a great buy , free shipping arrived in 2 days.
if you get one you won't get lost.
 Very Slow Connection June 29, 2008

this product takes forever to connect to a satellite. I am thinking of returning it. It is very unpredictable and if you are in a hurry forget about using it at all.

I owned this product for 6 months and although it usually got me from point A to point B it took forever to get satellite reception, which means you are either driving around lost or have to sit in your car for 5-10 minutes until you get a signal for it to calculate the route. After awhile my receiver stopped holding its charge so I had to constantly keep it plugged in, and my letters doubled on on "D" so I could not type in the letter "T". I exchanged it for the Magellan 1420 and it was MUCH faster, routed my drive immediately, and gave me more routing options such as fewer freeways, and more points of interest.
Patti's GPS June 20, 2008
I bought a Garmin Nuvi 250W GPS for my husband and myself because we take a lot of road trips and we needed help navigating unfamiliar cities. Amazon. com made this purchase so easy and affordable and we have already used the GPS several times and are very pleased. We appreciate Amazon.com's quick delivery and ease in ordering on the internet.

Garmin nüvi 250W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator I was so happy to get my new garmin but when i opened it i found that it did not work at all.

Never again will i buy anything from amazon!!!
