Garmin nuvi 250W May 5, 2008
Upon receiving the nuvi 250W it was easy to set up and install in my car. Sensitivity is very good and the unit locked on to satellites very rapidly. During a trip it locked on to satellites from my motel room while sitting at the desk several feet from the window.
This unit is easy to use and does all the basic GPS mapping functions well. My only gripe is the quick start manual is very basic and I had to learn how to get the best use by experimentation. Getting to some of the more advanced setup features was not always intuitive.
A good bet May 4, 2008
The only negative I've found with my Garmin is the amount of time it takes to acquire the satelites. Usually, it's about 3 minutes but it has taken as long as 5 minutes. The widescreen is a great plus, and unlike several other reviewers, I have not had an issue with the suction cup mount. It's a great buy.
 Garmin nüvi 250W vs. Street Pilot III May 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a return customer from Garmin Street Pilot III. I found the new unit has several things that are hard for me.
1. It needs very long time to register sat.
2. Less accurate and slower response
3. Assume you always are on the route it plotted. Even if you have already deviated from its plotted route, the GPS still shows you are on the plotted route. Eventually it will finally realize you are at somewhere else and perform route recalculation
4.Software not as robust as the old unit. It went completely hay wire on my several times. Only way to get it back is to reboot the unit
5. No indoor charger. Sold as a $25 option.
Not a bad unit for what it cost. Just thought that the software could be a little better
Wow!!!! May 1, 2008

I replaced a Magellan Roadmate with this Garmin Nuvi 250W. I actually punched the Magellan because it got me lost...again...and it cracked the LCD. I have never felt better about my decision! If you are thinking about buying a Magellan...don't...they are garbage!!!! Excellent product at an amazing price!!! Thanks Amazon!!!!!
