Consumer Reviews
Pros
easy to use, nice fit, intuitive menus, battery life
Cons
some inconsistency keeping pace
Recommended it?
Yes
An avid runner, I have found that GPS tools add to the experience greatly. For several years I had the Garmin Forerunner 101 and loved it. But all good things must come to an end...and my 101 finally gave up the ghost. I purchased the 205 as a replacement, and have been delighted...

Pros
Small, light, rechargeable, versatile, works great with Garmin training website.
Cons
Slightly bulky shape, no map details, calorie count not accurate, training program so-so.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS is exactly what I was looking for in a sport GPS. Small, light, functional, and easy -- and much more convenient than my old Garmin 12 brick!
I enjoy trail running, and I wanted to be able to track what I was doing a little better. I already owned a Garmin...

Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.
Cons
Sometimes questionable routing, short battery life, multiple and possibly confusing...

Yes
As a die hard user of traditional maps (and more recently, Google Maps on my iPhone) I have reluctantly held back from the temptation to buy an automotive based GPS system.
However, with a 7000 mile cross-country (and back) RV vacation planned for this summer, it became increasingly clear...

Pros
Small, light, easy to use interface, accurate, flexible.
Cons
Initial lock-on needs to be done standing still, more turn warning time.
Recommended it?
Yes
I purchased this GPS after moving to a new city, to help me navigate around until I learned where everything is located.
The Nuvi250 is a small unit, fitting easily in one hand. It has only 1 sliding button, that turns the unit on or can put it into screen-lock mode if slid the opposite...
