Garmin Nuvi 250W Review from Ryan:
The first Nuvi 250W that I bought came in had a faulty battery that wouldn’t hold a charge for longer than half an hour. However, after I sent it back in and got a working specimen, I was amazed at how clear the 4.3” widescreen lcd was. I previously had a no name third party gps system and it has a whole slew of buttons and had a tiny screen. The simplicity of the touchscreen and the layout of the gps struck me as just purely beautiful. Furthermore, when I checked the maps by both driving on local and urban routes, I found that the maps were up to date and flawless. It even had the small private businesses packed on the maps it came with.
In addition, the Nuvi 250W comes with the option of hooking up to your computer or reading a SD memory card in order to gain more specified attraction maps or to view your photos with. The slimness of the model allows you to carry it in your pocket and set it to walk mode and you can look around new places without having to worry about getting lost. The only thing that I found lacking was the turn by turn voice guidance feature. Although on the screen the street name or turn is clearly labeled, when the gps uses voice guidance to tell you to turn, they do not say the street name it just says “Turn left.” Although this isn’t a huge grievance, it is sort of annoying to have to look up at the gps to make sure that the street name on the map and the street your on correspond.
