 GARMIN 250W December 30, 2007
Absolutely as advertised right out of the box. This is a terrific GPS, no frills, no MP3 etc. It is very user friendly and my only negative experience has been knowing a better local route, in which case the GPS recalculates and moves on with your trip.

The Garmin directed us down "backroads" and got us miles from our destination. Don't buy this....

bought as a christmas present and have used to drive from CT to Delaware. It's not happy when you have a route in mind - it keeps trying to redirect you to it's chosen route - I probably should have listened. It took us 6 hrs to get to Delaware and on the way home I decided to follow the instructions and we arrived home in 5 w/ snow cover on the road.

I BOUGHT THE GARMAN 250W FOR MY WIFE WHO IS ALWAYS GETTING LOST. I WAS SUPRISED TO GET A CALL SAYING SHE GOT LOST AND MISSED HER DR'S APPT. I FIRST THOUGHT WAS IT WAS SOMETHING SHE DID WRONG. SO I ATTACHED IT MYSELF IN HER CAR ,SET IT UP TO GO HOME. THERE WAS A DETOUR AND FROM THEN ON IT DIDN'T WORK CORECTLY, MY WIFE ENDED UP GOING IN CIRCLES AND WAS VERY UPSET. SHE NOW IS REFUSING TO LET ME REPLACE IT. I LIKE ALL THE FEATURES. IT'S VERY EASY TO SET UP, EXCEPT THIS MODEL DOESN'T CALL OUT THE STREET NAMES. THIS IS A HANDY FEATURE IF YOU HAVE TWO STREETS CLOSE TOGETHER AND ARE UNABLE TO SEE THE STREET PRINTED ON THE GPS. I DON'T KNOW HOW COMMON DEFECT ARE IN GPS UNITS, BUT I WOULD RECCOMEND THROUGHLY CHECKING IT OUT BEFORE GIVING IT TO SOMEONE WHO WHO REALLY NEEDS THE HELP.
Purchased as a Gift - Very Happy with it. December 27, 2007
I own the Nuvi 660 which comes with a bunch of bells and whistles that I don't use or need and I consequently selected the 250W when looking for another Garmin to give as a gift (also what I would purchase for myself with hindsight). The 250W is half the price of the 660 and it contains all the major features I wanted / needed (and, in particular, was wide screen format which I really like). I do, however, wish Garmin sold a 300 series in wide screen format - this would be even more ideal since the 300 series has text to speech, which is the only "nice to have" from my 660 that I would have liked to see on the 250W. The other 660 perks (bluetooth, mp3 player, traffic receiver, etc.) are not worth paying twice as much (in my opinion) as what you pay for the 250W. Most importantly, my gift was extremely well received and I have created yet another Garmin lover that doesn't know how they previously lived without.
