Very pleased indeed
My first sat nav and after reading reviews took the plunge with this Nuvi
Very impressed...this unit has been designed for ease of use and I don't think it could have been done any better
It has the Sirf chipset...(verified on the second page after switch on) which locks onto satellites within a couple of mins tops and destinations are found in less than 30 secs routinely
Also being so sensitive it works sat in my sunglasses case near the gearstick without needing to use the mount
This negates the need to install/uninstall every time I leave the car and does not give thieves a clue with tell tale sucker mount marks on the windscreen....this should not be underestimated and makes using it so easy and quick
Post code search is first class and very accurate and favourites work really well
I have been astounded at the places included in the searches for POIs
Bought at £137 a couple of weeks ago but at £119 this is a steal!
I am getting another for the wife for Xmas
I cannot think of anyone who could not use this it is soooo easy!
Does what is says on the tin ....brilliantly!

This is an excellent sat nav for those of us who just want to plug it and be told where to go. It's simple. I particularly like the size of the unit as it's just bigger than a pack of cards and fits into my pocket as I don't like to leave it in my car.
A friend of mine has a higher spec Tom Tom unit which I have used but it seems over complicated and slow to find satellite siganl compared to my Garmin. |

I looked at various different brands, specs and models when choosing a satellite navigation aid. From what I gathered from the sales person in a Halfords store was that the Garmin units are far superior to the likes of Tom Tom or Navman on their build quality, usability and the shear amount of faulty units they have returned from Garmin's rival brands.
So once deciding what brand to opt for I found myself in the mine field of which product. The sales person explained the benefits of each individual unit from which I gathered some could almost drive the car for me! As I didn't require my mobile phone to be linked to the sat nav purely on the basis I struggle to send a text message as best, this unit suited me down to the ground. Even for someone as un-technically minded as me I found the Nuvi 250 extremely straight forward to use.
I have been on various long road trips and excursions and have noticed that it is very accurate and reliable when finding a location. I am very pleased with my purchase and have recently bought the same unit for both my wife and son for Christmas. |

Like a lot of the other reviews I was looking for something which was cost effective, cheap if thats the way you want to read it but the Nuvi 250 does not have that cheap feel about it, it looks and feels solid.
I tried it initially around Milton Keyenes which is a good test for anything and it coped very well, it locks onto the satelite well and re routes itself very quickly. It has plenty of built in functions such as favourite address, recently visited, shopping, petrol stations, travel etc etc as well as the vehicle mode - automobile, bicycle, pedestrian. There are certain niggles which other reviews have highlighted such as no mains charger ( a car charger is included ) lack of search detail for some addresses, lack of USB leads and so on but for me these are just niggles and no more and should not deter you from buying it. If you like your phone to be your phone, your camera to be your camera and your GPS to be your GPS then this is perfect - it also means your in your forties !. |

I owned a garmin i3 for 2 years which i was extremely pleased with, never got me lost. However though i needed to update. The natural choice was another garmin. After spending days reading reviews, i decided on the garmin nuvi 250. I have been using my nuvi constantly now for 2 weeks and i absolutely love it. I have tried many times to confuse my garmin, but faithfully it would get me back on my correct route.I can only speak for myself. My garmin recalculates within 10 seconds. Takes me exactly to the location i have entered. Map is large and clear. Speed camera locations to remind me to keep within the law. I give my garmin top marks. I input my destination, and off i go knowing my beloved garmin would take me where i want to go.
