    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bad maps, immediate next turn direction, no variable POI proximity,

    Edit: My review here is based on the Nuvi-250 (non-widescreen version). I bought one of these recently as my old ipaq-based TomTom is getting more outdated each day and there doesn't seem to be a reasonably-priced way to update it. I have to say I was expecting better. The manual is small because there aren't as many features as you get with TomTom. For example TomTom allows you to set the distance between your POI and it's alert sounding. This Garmin seems to sound the alert at it's own preset distance warning which you can't change from the menu system. It also seems to take a while to find ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap compared to other brands, small, easy to operate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no mains charger supplied

    I have been after a Sat Nav with built in European Maops for some time now as I am planning a road trip around Europe later in the year for my honeymoon. My first instinct was to go for a Tomtom as currently it is the most well known Sat Nav on the market and everyone you ask seems to own/recommend them. However I thought i'd try and save myself a few quid by taking a chance on one of the other manufacturers, and I stumbled upon the Garmin at a good price in Carphone warehouse one day. The first thing that struck me was at how easy the Garmin was to use - testament to this being an instruction ... more

    Advantages Advantages very accurate, reliable, a must when lost, fast reaction

    Disadvantages Disadvantages small screen

    Well, At first my father buy this Garmin NÜVI 250 W from USA, and i just thought it just another wasting money junk. Well I know that Garmin is well known for its Satellite Navigation system and it do show it a big company by sponsoring the FULHAM FC. I at first not really believe that it can show accurate road, mean, i thought it only show general road available. At after a few day, my father ask me to go to Malaysia Capital, Kuala Lumpur, which is about 300+ Km away from my hometown. So this is the right time to test this product. At first, I doesn't really trust this navigation thingy, I ... more
