 Good Buy March 29, 2008
I read alot before making this purchase. I bought a refurb and for the money it was a great deal. Start up time on a clear day about :30 sec. Except for new road construction maps are up to date. Also widescreen is the way to go. I am very happy with the Garmin 250W.

I priced this unit at Best Buy for over $400. I am very satisfied with it. The wide screen is a nice bonus. It does everything that you would want in the way of finding your way around.
Wow! Technology rocks! March 25, 2008

This little gadget is awesome! It is very accurate, even showing streets in neighborhoods that were just recently completed.
I like that you can change your "car" icon. My son likes the spaceship. I personally like the battle tank. Of course, my daughter like the pink car.
It's very user friendly and very intuitive. It's easy to use, right out of the box, without having to read the instructions first.
I recommended this to a coworker. He bought one and thanked me for steering him away from a Tom-Tom that he was looking at.
Excellent driving tool at a great price. March 24, 2008

I've owned other Garmin products and a number of different OEM nav systems in cars, so I'm quite familiar with all they can offer. While the 250W isn't the most sophisticated or feature-rich nav out there, it is surprisingly capable and useful.
First, it has one of the brightest screens I've seen on recent Garmin units - it's not washed out by sunlight and it's sharp and easy to read. Secondly, the speaker is far better than some earlier models, so you can hear the "nav lady" perfectly at highway speeds. Routing is almost immediate after you enter a destination, and the directions are clear and concise. The maps are about the most up-to-date you can get these days, and Navteq is among the best in that category. The unit doesn't have to be placed up high on the window or dash - it gets the sat signals well even if it's mounted down on the dash out of the sun.
Only downside is that signal acquisition first thing in the morning when the unit is cold is kind of slow, but after it warms up, it is ready to navigate as soon as it gets power. And it doesn't announce turns by street name - big deal. Otherwise all is good - lots of POI's, great maps, good directions. This is an excellent traveling companion, especially for those who don't need all the bells and whistles like MP3 players and NavTraffic. Highly recommended.
Didn't think I'd want one... March 22, 2008
I didn't think I'd want one, but now that I have it (got it as gift) I can't imagine traveling without it. It's great even when you know the road, but want to find a specific via point (like gas or a Starbucks). Very convenient in telling kids how long to the next rest stop or to answer exactly how many miles till "are we there yet?" Very user friendly, super easy to use.
