Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS - 3.5-Inch Touchscreen
Simple navigation at an affordable price — that's nüvi 250. This entry-level Personal Travel Assistant comes with preloaded maps for North America. For added flexibility, choose nüvi 270 with preloaded maps for both continents or save more with nüvi 200 which offers less map coverage at a lower price. Like all nüvi 200-series members, the 250 features an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen and ultra-slim design — perfect for everyday navigation.

Navigate With Ease
nüvi 250 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nüvi 250 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 250 includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards for travel guides and a savings program provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs.

Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS - 3.5-Inch Touchscreen Reviews

REVIEW BY: neverlosti Reviewed Nov 26, 2007

Great GPS at a great price ($269) on TigerDirect.com. Didn't want bluetooth or other unnecessary upgrades of the more expensive units. Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS - 3.5-Inch Touchscreen unit performs very well although I found some roads were out of date. Easily updated on Garmin.com and a friendly, easy to use interface. Definately a recommended buy!

I received a 250 for Christmas. Great little unit, easy to understand. It is a ''entry level'' product, but does exactly what it says Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS - 3.5-Inch Touchscreen will do well. Consumer Reports gives Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS - 3.5-Inch Touchscreen a ''best buy'' rating. The only problem I have had with it is that it seems to want to keep me on the 401 collectors across the top of Toronto, rather than letting me take the Express.If I was going to purchase for myself, I would probably spend a little more money to get a unit with the traffic updates via radio.Works well with a Macintosh running Leopard.

Great little GPS. I took Gerta (thats the name I gave the Garmin)on a trip through the USA last month & it did not fail me once. Great GPS for the money. I would recommend the unit with the ''Naming streets'' option on it, that was the only downfall. Garmin makes a great GPS.

GREAT product. Does everything you neeed -- bluetooth is totally unnecessary for a GPS product like this -- and has only led me astray a couple times. Takes away almost all the stress of navigating around a new city. Highly recommended...
