 Garmin Nuvi 250w buyer beware!!!!!!!! June 16, 2008
2 out of 9 found this review helpful
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. Spent much of my time trying to contact the bogus seller with a bogus e-mail. Now i am trying to get in touch w amazon about this and a lot of good that has done me, not!!!! over $200.00 down the drain. If you buy this and it is DOA your on your own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never again will i buy anything from amazon!!!
 Excellent when you're able to get a satellite signal! June 6, 2008
This is a good value for the money. Obviuosly there are units that perform way better according to other reviews, but they cost significantly more.
Pros: I love the screen on this unit the image is very clear and sharp. The voice prompt is also excellent - loud and clear. Finding an address is a breeze. I find the favorites and Go Home features particularly very helpful.
Cons: Aquiring satellite signal is a major issue with this unit. This is the only reason I find it hard to give a higher rating. I drive almost the same route to and from work everyday and my unit loses and regains satellite signals about 4 or five times on each trip. Sometimes it never regains the signal for the rest of the trip. This could be a major pain if you lose satelite signals on a trip you're not familiar with.
Garmin 250w GPS June 2, 2008
On the most part, this is an easy to use GPS with quick response when the recommended route is missed or detoured. It does not announce the street names, but the directions are clearly given when to turn or enter a highway. Only a couple times on my last trip did I get no response for my hotel directions and that was because they were newly built and the locations were only known by the street address. Bottom line is it sure beats studying the maps and I wouldn't go on a trip without it. I've rented GPS units with smaller screens and I recommended the widescreen version as a purchase plus.
a good basic portable GPS June 2, 2008
I'm one of those people who doesn't need all the bells and whistles in a gadget. I also need something user friendly. This item is a good basic simple GPS that is easy to use. The only drawback: not enough information in the memory sometimes. That's what you get with the low price. My sister has an incredible built-in system (also by Garmin) in her car. It is also about six times the cost of mine. Do I want to pay that price for the additional features? No. I'm happy with my GPS.

Great buy. The 200W would be fine if
Canada maps not needed.
