Easy to use, Intuitive, but tradeoffs may annoy some power-users.

Pros 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...
Recommended it? 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... Read full review »

Small, light and accurate, with a ton of onboard info.

bymodicus Jan 16, 2008
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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... Read full review »

An Upgrade to the nuvi 760

bynad_masters Apr 4, 2010
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Free Lifetime Traffic, Lane Guidance Assist, Smoother Map Screen animation, many features
Cons Animated menus, more stable, AD2P doesn't work (at least with iPhone).
Recommended it? Yes

After experiencing the new map screen on my brother's Garmin nuvi 255WT, I decided that $200 to upgrade my current be breaking the bank, especially if I can sell my current Garmin nuvi 760.

So enter the Garmin nuvi 765T, which is the refresh of the one I already own. It has the same map... Read full review »

Usually great, but sometimes frustrating.

bymalaplan Feb 26, 2010
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quickly finds GPS satellite signal, lifetime traffic receiver, Bluetooth, MP3 player
Cons Inaccurate touchscreen, slow, does not play WMA music files
Recommended it? Yes

The Garmin nuvi 765T is my second GPS receiver, with the Garmin StreetPilot 340c my first. I upgraded because of the included lifetime traffic receiver, MP3 player and the Bluetooth capability in the nuvi 765T.

I purchased this in 9/2009 and am writing this review after using it for 5... Read full review »
