 No frills, but it works November 20, 2008
Deva (Cheshire, UK)
I paid just over 80 for my Nuvi (including postage) and I could not be more pleased. Yes, it is basic compared to some, but it works and is simplicity itself to operate.
The windscreen mount is first-class - solid as a rock and easily removed without leaving a tell-tale mark.
For the money I doubt this could be bettered and even included European mapping.
Highly recommended.

I'm caught between a rock and a hard place with this. Overall I am pretty pleased with it. But sometimes it can't make a distinction between 'turn left' and 'keep left'. For example, on a jagged bend it will tell you to 'turn right', even though you are following the same road. And instead of 'turn left' onto a minor road it will tell you to 'keep left.' And sporadically tries to send you the wrong way up one way systems! But functional overall, as long as you acknowledge it doesn't know all there is to know.
The plus points:
Easy to use. Good value - compared to other UK & Europe options very reasonably priced. Easy navigation - on screen details is good and voice commands clear. Great built in info.
I'm pretty sure that as we use it more, we'll get used to it, but for something you can pick up out of the box, plug in, and use, pay the extra and get a Tom Tom. Or save your money and use streetmap.
Disappointing November 6, 2008

Used it twice on long journeys and let down both times. Once it was over a quarter of a mile out on the address and the second time it navigated me on to a minor road and then kept saying recalculating before freezing. People I know with a tomtom seem to have less trouble. On shorter journeys it has been more accurate. This is my first sat nav and I am not impressed.
A quick comparison with TomTom November 5, 2008

Firstly let me say that at the price Amazon are charging it's hard to fault the product. If you need Europe mapping I would buy now before the product is discontinued, which is imminent.
Now a quick comparison with a TomTom One, also owned by me. It's basically swings and roundabouts. The ideal product would be a combination of the two.
Pros for the TomTom One:
a) Graphics with a wow factor. The TomTom looks terrific with 'floaty' 3D graphics and totally wowed me when I first saw it. The Garmin 250 looks fine, but to be fair isn't as good.
b) The TomTom is more flexible and has more menus. Try calculating a route when you have no satellite signal because you are at home. I'm in Sheffield but let's assume I'm in Liverpool and want to go to Derby. Both sat navs can do it, but the TomTom is easier.
c) TomTom appears to update slightly faster when going round a roundabout, but this is a bit subjective. Both products could do a bit better!
Pros for the Garmin 250:
a) It's more solid and the windscreen mount is a lot more solid. Beautifully made.
b) Route generation seems to be better. On a 50 mile trip through the countryside that I have done many times over the years and have formed my own favourite route, the TomTom initially wants to use a difficult route, whereas the Garmin unbelievably used my exact favourite route. Lots of points for that.
c) The Garmin hasn't needed a reset yet. Another big issue with TomToms.
So which is best? I don't know. I wish I could combine the good features of both products. If you have never owned a sat nav before you will find either product totally awesome. Paper maps are useless by comparison. Both the Garmin and the TomTom will get you to your destination within just a few feet and are a joy to use. This particular Garmin is about to go obsolete so is cheap and is therefore a terrific buy. You should be offered 2009 maps when you register it, but be warned you are looking at a 2.5GB download. The whole installation process will take an evening, but is well thought out and reliable. Unfortunately the mapping world moves slowly, so even 2009 maps will not feature all new roads on new estates - I have tested this with a specific road. That comment applies to all sat navs.
In summary I would give both Garmin and TomTom 5 stars because the products are so much fun to use. I just wish they would each sort out their own shortcomings.
