 Update costs - Beware September 1, 2008
Richard Stringer (London , UK)
I'm satisfied with the product but not so satisfied at the 60 required to update the maps a year later.

Simple and easy to use: it does exactly what is says on the tin! It also offers great value for money. Scores 9/10 on my scale of satisfaction.
GARMIN NUVI 250 SAT NAV August 31, 2008
Mr. G. Paffett (HANTS UK)
REAL VALUE FOR MONEY. DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN. EASY TO USE, AND ONCE YOU HAVE PLAYED ABOUT WITH IT,YOU CAN PROGRAM A ROUTE VIA AS MANY PLACES AS YOU LIKE THAT VARY OFF ANY A TO B JOURNEY BY PROGRAMMING A to B, B to C, C to D ETC. ONE CRITICISM - CANT GET THE MOUNTING DISC TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. WELL SATISFIED.
Brilliant for the money! August 26, 2008

I've been considering getting a satnav for a while and probably like most people have been confused by the array of devices available and confused further by the various reviews given - some good, some bad. With a limited budget in mind and having read largely very good reviews I took the plunge with the Nuvi 250. Any doubts I had have completely gone - it's brilliant! It really is that easy and that good. Ok, so it doesn't have loads of features (you'll get those on more expensive machines) but if you simply want a satnav to tell you how to get to a destination that you've not been to before then it's perfect. I'm really impressed. The instruction manual is surprisingly basic, but it still tells you what you need to know to get started (most other features can be worked by trial and error). Satellites are acquired quickly (when you're outside), the route calculated quickly and then it's ready to go with clear instructions both on screen and spoken. If you go wrong either by mistake or because you know better than it (which you will from time to time) it very quickly recalculates the route.
We have used it several times over the last couple of months and it has saved a lot of time and stress over getting lost - it is a bit weird putting your faith in a small machine, but it has taken us on some amazing routes that you would never have thought of and arrived at the door exactly when it said you would. Totally recommended! Get the case too to protect it when it's not in use - it's only a few pounds more.
Probably not the best one out there.. August 25, 2008

Bought this unit last week, because it's cheaper than Tomtom (for similar model) and longer battery life. Somewhat dissapointed because the map seems to be out of date (some roads are not displayed, I took wrong turn several times, especially dead-end roads!). It has a pedestrian mode, which implies that you can take it for a walk and it'll show you direction. Well, not really! Accuracy is pretty low in this mode, I had to walk back and forth looking for a museum which according to it, is right in front of me (it turns out to be one block away!). Unfortunately I have not had experience with other GPS so can't really compare. Good that it shows me direction for driving, and for the price with european map, I guess I just have to be happy with it.
