Garmin is the best January 14, 2008
I have used several GPS products from other manufacturers and Garmin makes the best. This unit did not let me down. It is very easy to use and has a great display. Great GPS for the money!!
 Awesome January 13, 2008
It is much better than I expected! As stated, right out of the box and easy to find locations while you're on the road. I have been very impressed and have used it twice in big cities and always taken me right to the location.
Recommend to anyone who is sick and tired of getting lost and not having detailed maps.
Excellent value for the $$ January 12, 2008
This unit is pretty good, the whole setup is nice but it would have been nicer to include an AC charger instead of the cigar plug. I mean, who's going to leave a battery powered GPS plugged in the car for the amount of time it takes to charge it? That screams "steal me" and I'd prefer to have it in the kitchen charging rather than the car. The battery life is pretty good, the display is bright and uncluttered. One feature not found on this one is that it doesn't speak the street names. The 260 does that and the square screen is about the same price as this model right now.
I've only had a couple issues with acquiring a satellite fix taking longer than a couple minutes and like many gps units, this one is just as stubborn. Once it has a route picked, there's no easy way to modify it without going waaayyyy out of your way. For instance, it had me turn down a street that is still being built to get to a friend's house in Henderson NV and when I passed it without turning at the "Road Closed" signs, it kept insisting I make a U-turn until I got about a mile away. Then it finally recalculated a new route. It's an annoyance, but my old TomTom and my old Magellan both did the same thing too so it's not unique to Garmin.
Garmin 250W Nuvi January 12, 2008
Great product. Very easy to use. No instruction book really needed. Unlike others I have had, entering where you want to go on this unit is simplicity itself. It's all intuitive. It has a bright screen that is easily read in sunlight, but a "dimmer" for night driving would make it better. You won't go wrong (or get lost) if you get this GPS.
Highly Recommended January 10, 2008
I recently purchased this GPS for my wife, who frequently travels alone. After reading pages and pages of reviews about each of the major companies' GPS offerings, I settled on this one, and must say that I am quite happy with my decision. It has worked almost flawlessly for us, with the exception of poor satellite reception while in Washington, DC. Otherwise, it is easy to use, and almost intuitive in every way. We did not need or desire all of the 'bells and whistles' of units costing twice as much - bluetooth, MP3 player, etc. I would recommend this to anyone who just wants a nice, simple GPS unit for travel. I will update this review after I go to Europe, and baptize the Europe maps card, but I expect it to be a great success!
