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 follow my own road. Then when arrive at Kuala Lumpur, a very busy city with many complicated route, I got lost. So i still drive with no direction and still stubborn enough not to use Garmin NÜVI 250 W. This thing have warn me a few time to take the left or right on the road, but I take not to believe it. A wonder around the city for 3 hour.
Then I start to give up, i try to follow the Garmin. The lady in it gave me a direction to a Highway, and I follow. Than a stepping stone, I saw signboard say that the place I'm heading is another 25 KM. A BIG RELIEF FOR ME!
At highway, for sure I will be speeding. And I hear the lady in it say that there are intersection 0.5km away. Well i still go,then I missed the right highway exit for my target destination. I thought there i missed the only way and highway cannot make me to make a u-turn.
I very tension at that time. Then a sound heard by me. " 3.5 KM Turn Right To Take The EXIT 3561 ". " Is it real?? Well let test " , my thought saying. then i follow, and follow and follow, and I ARRIVED!!!! It really do work, it will correct itself and find another road if we get lost, and also there are a arrival estimated time at the right bottom panel, and it really Accurate. Believe me!!

Well, the opposite of your other review, this time you've given a good example of personal experience, but as mentioned by others below, no information on the product itself at all!

A decent start, and a good stab at it despite English obviously not being your first language. However, putting spelling and grammar issues aside, you need much more info on the product to help potential buyers make a purchasing decision. Welcome to Ciao. 8^)

You don't really say much about the product. I'm sure it has many other features. No info on battery time, charging time, display, ease of use, maps, software, memory and so on.
