Amazon.com Product Description:
Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. View larger. | 
nüvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger. | 
The nüvi 250W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an ultra-slim design. | The widescreen version of Garmin's nüvi 250 offers a large, easy-to-read screen (4.3 inches diagonally to the nüvi 250s 3.5 inches) at an attractive price point. Like its smaller sibling, the 250W comes with preloaded maps for the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Canada and Alaska. If all you don't need Canada and Alaska, you can get the nüvi 200W at a lower pirce. If you want maps for Europe, you'll need to go with the smaller nüvi 270, or you can purchase a set of European maps on SD Card or CD-Rom. While it doesn't have some of the more sophisticated features of higher-end nüvis, it does, like all nüvi 200-series members, offer a rock-solid navigation experience with an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen, 6 million points of interest (POI)s, and an ultra-slim design.
See More of What's Around
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.
Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 250W is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.
Navigate with Ease
nüvi 250W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI 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 250W 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.
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.
Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 250W features 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 our line of Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs.
Note: Like most USB Mass Storage Devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.
What's in the Box
nüvi 250W, preloaded City Navigator NT for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Canada, vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disk, and set up and go guide.

Rating: - VERY GOOD GPS FOR PRICE
Purchased for out of state trip and found Garmin unit to be very good in
directing you to proper exits. Retrospect wished had purchased unit that call out street names, but this unit was not confusing. Excellent value at under $200 for a basic large screen unit that is easy to use.
Rating: - Nuvi 250 review
I'm very happy with my new GPS.I have a Garmin Street Pilot 2610 which cost about $1000 5 years ago.The maps were getting old so I looked into getting updates and they cost $79. I decided to upgrade not only my maps but my unit as well.The Nuvi doesn't have as many setting capabilities but overall I like it better than my Street Pilot.
Rating: - Easy to read screen
I have had other Garmin units with smaller screens and as we all get older, so do our eyes. I started finding myself putting on glasses to set my routes. I decided to purchase this unit because of the large display and compact size. I travel extensively for business and find this unit not only easy to read but reflective of the Garmin reputation for quality. When you purchase this unit, make sure you also purchase the USB cable to hook it to your computer after you get it to download ... Read More
Rating:  - It will get you there, but...
The first Garmin 250W I received was a lemon.It would not hold an accurate position on the map, the direction of travel and speed of travel would vary widely even while stopped.The assistance provided by Garmin customer support was helpful, but could not fix it.Buy Accessories assisted me through the return process and quickly sent me another 250W.This second one has worked OK, but just OK.I expected a basic GPS based on the reviews of others, but this is really bare bones.

Rating:  - Garmin nuvi 250W, GPS
My family loves our new Garmin nuvi 250w !The minute we took it out of the box, we started using it.That's how user-friendly it is.We like several things about it:the wide, easy-touch screen, the fact that it fits into a pocket, the reliability of the directions, it's easy to read large letters, and it's fun to use!The price is great too!
