Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Best value for the money in my opinion, August 24, 2007 By  G. Howard "Well done is better than well said" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews    I have used Garmin products before and like the reliability and performance. This unit works very well and in addition a great value price wise. The touch screen works perfectly - no more hassling with non-user friendly buttons. Very easy to navigate the GUI and always seems to find a signal quickly. Routes seem to work well for me (have had it for 2 weeks so not fully tested on routing). Voice prompts are functional and options exist for different languages - I like using the English accent voice. Another great benefit is the size - no external antenna and a small thin unit with a big screen (big enough for me)very well packaged. You could carry it around for hikes or biking as it has that mode and can easily fit into a pocket. All in all I'm very satisfied and use it every day for business because it saves me time and money.   1 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Excellent product!, September 22, 2007 By  Jannine D. Oates (Waldoboro, Maine United States) - See all my reviews    I don't know how I lived without this product. It is so easy to use. I can travel much easier now, knowing I won't get lost or be late.   7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Its a good entry level GPS system, August 31, 2007 By  S. Coulter "Geekaholic" (New York) - See all my reviews    I had a TomTom Go Classic that went kaput. I paid about $600 for it. This Nuvi 250 was about half that but, it has some shortcomings when compared to the old TomTom. For one, the voice is unnatural and tinny by comparison. I miss having the compass and the turning arrow on the screen. The maps and POIs seem a few years out of date but that was also a problem with the TomTom. There do not seem to be any free map updates available. It came with no case, A/C charger or a wire for connecting to the computer. The TomTom Go classic came with everything including maps on CD. All maps on the Nuvi are pre-loaded and aside from storing photos, I cannot figure out what the SD card slot is for. The manual does not explain much. The windshield mount is solid but short, and places the this device farther away from the driver than the old TomTom mount did. It takes 2 hands to remove the device from the holder unles you want to risk breaking the suction. Share your thoughts with other customers:  › See all 8 customer reviews...
