The Garmin Nuvi 250W was great...for about half a year.

I loved my Garmin Nuvi 250W when I first bought it. In fact I would never leave home without it. Then the longer I had it the less I began to like it. I have had mine for almost a year and it frustrates me more than it helps me. It take roughly twenty minutes just to find where I am and it… read full review »

I love it! I wouldn't be afraid to go anywhere with this GPS, knowing I won't get lost. Restaurants, Churches, Casinos, whatever you are looking for weather it is where you are at, on your way, or at your destination and it takes you right to it. And if you are looking to buy a house, you don't even need a realtor to show you where to go, it takes you right to the… read full review »

I was a bit skeptical, I thought the screen was too small compared to my other GPS. I, however, love it the screen is not an issue. The 3D was the best part. — I, also, loved that it's small enough to put in my purse or my husband's coat pocket. It also has maps of Puerto Rico!!! — I don't know how I managed without it!!! —… read full review »

We've had the Garmin 250W for about 7 months and it saves so much time. We have a delivery business and have heavily relied on maps and Mapquest. With the Garmin we have cut our delivery prep time by 50%. We have been able to streamline our service all because we instant access to thousands of destinations at the tip of our… read full review »

We purchased the Nuvi 250 earlier this year and even when I am going to places I am familiar with, I love to use my Garmin Nuvi. You never know when you want to look for a restaurant, or a business. I don't worry about getting lost, or wasting a lot of time looking for a business or address. … read full review »

Great little device. Used it on a trip to Hawaii and it never let us down. Simply tell it where you're going and it gets you there, turn by turn. Or, tell it what you want (store, restaurant, etc.) and it lists all available and gets you there as… read full review »
