Cons
Few Inconsequential Hiccups
Recommended it?
Yes
Satellite GPS systems are all the rage this holiday season. In my immediate family, two were exchanged and they both happened to come from Garmin.
Why It Was A Necessity
I travel a lot on business, often having to find new addresses' generally facilitated by map printouts, which...

My fiance suffers the ill fate of having a birthday less than a month from Christmas. I always promised myself I'd never do the "birthday/Christmas" combined-gift thing for her, but then last year she asked for a GPS receiver. She said that since she wanted a big-ticket item I could make it a...

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...
