I have been using this unit for a few weeks now. It is a great little unit with tons of features. The directions are really good. The only thing that bothers me (and this is with all units I have tried) is that they try to lock your position on the map to the road. I wish there was an option to turn that off, and show exactly where you are. I highly recommend this unit, and I look forward to continuing to use it in the future!
Useful, but only to a point March 7, 2008

I've been using my Garmin Nuvi 250W GPS for a couple weeks now and I'm left with mixed feelings. The main thing I'm disappointed in is that it often takes you out of the way to get to a destination or tells you take a turn into a street that not even accessible.
For test I let it plot a course to my job, and it told me to take a course that added about 10-15 minutes to my drive. I went my normal route and when I was less then 3 miles from my job, it kept telling me to turn around to take the original course. Then on top of that it it wanted me to make a left hand turn onto a Air Force Base airfield, which has been long closed since 9/11.
I used my Nuvi 250W for a trip to Delaware last weekend, and my original course was totally screwed up,so I had to change the settings from shortest course to fastest Course and it took me the proper way to my destination. Once I made it to Delaware I had to find a Target or Walmart, and thats where this unit shined...I was able to punch in the name and found out that the closest Target was 12 miles away, but Walmart was just over a half of mile away from where I was at. I selected the Walmart and it gave me directions to it. When I had to return to the area I was originally at, it gave me a completely different set of directions then what I originally took. I went back the proper way and it adjusted and I got back without any issues.
Its a good tool, but try to get maps from Google Maps to double check your route first, since Google Maps seems to have a better direction giving ability then the Nuvi unit does.

On the two trips I tested it on we arrived at our destination ok but approx. 10 extra miles more than necessary.
Will Pay for itself in Fuel Costs!! March 3, 2008
Impressive! I've been using my new Garmin 250w for a couple days now, and took a trip that I have taken before, and instead of going the way I'd gone before, I typed in the address and followed the directions and a trip that used to take an hour took 45 minutes! That's 15 minutes quicker, each way...30 minutes round trip! I believe this unit will quickly pay for itself in fuel savings!
