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 !.

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!

Unless you want something linked into your phone, able to play your ipod and brew a cup of tea while you travel I would look no further. Very simple and intuitive to use, good battery and mount very sturdy and versatile. Very pleased.

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.
