I spent a lot of time reading various garmin 250 reviews and feedback on all the other models to decide if was the cheapest product that had all the features I was looking for. I basically narrowed it down to the 350 or 250 and ultimately decided on the nuvi250 as the best choice for my personal commutes.

I bought online at Amazon.com and it was shipped and at my door on the Thursday (order placed Tuesday) ready for my 900mile trip on the upcoming Monday. I was quite busy doing some seminar preparation and wasn’t able to play or learn my Garmin 250 GPS system much before I left, so I truly appreciated how fast and simple it was out of the box and helping me with its easy to understand and well-laid out menus and navigation tools.


Inside the box you get a get started guide – kind of annoying that the user manual needs to be printed out although I didn’t even need help getting started, some people might dislike this fact – a windshield mount and the charger so it was easy to get it quickly charged up and installed in the vehicle.

I’ve since also let family friend’s borrow it on a road trip all the way up to Niagara Falls Canada, and they enjoyed it thoroughly as well – so much in fact that they bought the Garmin Nuvi 650 (Wide screen Version) for their own vehicle!!!

Highly Recommend to all travelling people and family vehicles,
