Fun to have and use. Simple and easy to use. Very convenient to be able to shop at Amazon and the price was comparable or better than the stores.

A joy to have. Gives intelligent instructions for reversing course by going around the block, or whatever. I would like to have it show the altitude, which it has to calculate anyway, but that doesn't interfere with it's effectiveness as a driving guide. We've named the bright female who gives instructions "Dolly".

Does this model have all sorts of nice features like traffic monitoring and bluetooth compatibility, no. Does it get the job done and easy to use, yes. If you're looking for a solid entry level GPS with a nice price point, this is a good model.
It has a comprehensive locations database including hotels, landmarks, gas, etc. Searching it can be a little bit of a pain, but it does get the job done. Takes a little while to get its position when you boot but I haven't lost signal on the road unless I was in a garage or tunnel or something.
The voice isn't bad and handy too.
I'd recommend this if you weren't looking for all the bells and whistles.
Good Deal on a Basic GPS November 23, 2007

I bought my 250 just before we left on a month long trip through the southern US. It performed well. I loved the small size and portability. It was amazingly sensitive and able to pick up satellites even on the ground floor of a two story house. We were able to find a Thai restaurant close to where we were staying in Forth Worth using the POI. DFW freeways are confusing but the 250 did its job. There is a learning curve on using it. If you are in an off map location like a parking lot, be sure to drive a short distance so that the GPS can determine where you are before you make any turns. I ended up spending 5 minutes getting back on route. I turned before the GPS knew what direction I was headed and I got off track. Also, you should know that roads change all the time. In the month we were on the road we used it every day. 3 or 4 times we drove through new construction and the GPS showed us driving through the fields. When we got through the construction the GPS had us back on the map. I looked at the fancier Garmins and decided that I really did not need all the bells and whistles that they offered. My former navigator, my wife, says that the 250 has paid for itself are ready by lowering her stress level. We never argue about directions anymore.

I purchased this GPS from PC Richard & Son, and I did not know what to expect. First time I tried it out was in new york city, where I currently reside. it paints out a whole picture of where you're at, tells you in advance where to turn, and redirects if you make a wrong turn.I tried it out a few times to see if there's any bad thing that I can say about it, and i'm still looking!!! Very affordable and is a must buy
