Very easy to use GPS, and inexpensive too. Does not have text to voice (some reviewers state that it does) so you don't hear the street name, only ''turn left'' or ''right'', but this has been sufficent for my needs so far. If you have a heavy commute or you drive long distances you might be interested in a gps with traffic alert feature, which this model does not have. Other features, such as the jpeg viewer, are of small use--they work, but somewhat annoyingly slowly.
Great fast service from this retailer.

The Garmin 250 GPS does everything that I need. It shows where i am, It shows me how to get where I want to go either by the fastest or by the shortest routes. It automatically recomputes the route if I pass a designated turn point. It announces impending lane changes and turns.
I am perfectly pleased with the unit.
Great So Far

Didn't realise that there was no USB cable included. Got on at Target for $15.00 Used the one from my camera to start off with initally. It is needed for updates. I would not buy one any bigger though. I think it would be too much of a distration on the winsheld.
great deal for the price I paid
