Summary: Nuvi best GPS interface
Comment: I own a Garmin 650, recently purchased the 250W for a work associate and as a graduation gift for our son. The 250W is smaller and as functional as the 650. We have evaluated the TomTom, the Magellan and other GPS's, right now the Garmin Nuvi series has the easiest and most functional touch screen interface. I won't travel without it.

Summary: Purchased as a Gift - Very Happy with it.
Comment: I own the Nuvi 660 which comes with a bunch of bells and whistles that I don't use or need and I consequently selected the 250W when looking for another Garmin to give as a gift (also what I would purchase for myself with hindsight). The 250W is half the price of the 660 and it contains all the major features I wanted / needed (and, in particular, was wide screen format which I really like). I do, however, wish Garmin sold a 300 series in wide screen format - this would be even more ideal since the 300 series has text to speech, which is the only "nice to have" from my 660 that I would have liked to see on the 250W. The other 660 perks (bluetooth, mp3 player, traffic receiver, etc.) are not worth paying twice as much (in my opinion) as what you pay for the 250W. Most importantly, my gift was extremely well received and I have created yet another Garmin lover that doesn't know how they previously lived without.

Summary: GARMIN 250W
Comment: Absolutely as advertised right out of the box. This is a terrific GPS, no frills, no MP3 etc. It is very user friendly and my only negative experience has been knowing a better local route, in which case the GPS recalculates and moves on with your trip.

Summary: Love it!
Comment: I purchased the Garmin nuvi 250W as a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves it! He was able to start navigating immediately - so far so good, it had one time when it was running slowly but that was operator error! This seems to be a great starter GPS - great value for the money, so easy to use and great screen/display, voice directions are right on every time. I would recommend it. If you are looking for lots of bells and whistles you would have to upgrade - it does not have an MP3 player.

Summary: Highly Recommended
Comment: I recently purchased this GPS for my wife, who frequently travels alone. After reading pages and pages of reviews about each of the major companies' GPS offerings, I settled on this one, and must say that I am quite happy with my decision. It has worked almost flawlessly for us, with the exception of poor satellite reception while in Washington, DC. Otherwise, it is easy to use, and almost intuitive in every way. We did not need or desire all of the 'bells and whistles' of units costing twice as much - bluetooth, MP3 player, etc. I would recommend this to anyone who just wants a nice, simple GPS unit for travel. I will update this review after I go to Europe, and baptize the Europe maps card, but I expect it to be a great success!
