Pros: Simplicity of use.

Cons: Battery life is just OK, chord makes this a non issue

The Bottom Line: Simple, Basic and easy to use GPS. Can't go wrong.

Review: Having used Garmin products in rental cars, I was fairly familiar and comfortable using GPS. I knew that the GPS beat the heck out of Mapquest, guessing or stopping to ask for diretions.

The TomTom v. Garmin debate is a legit one and I...

Pros: It is portable, can be stuffed into glove box, so thieves can't see it.

Cons: NONE so far, have used it 4 times and have had no major problem.

Review: WE had wanted a GPS for the car, especiallya after friends kept talking them up. WE bought this one, like it, Had a problem at first, did not have it secured on dash, it slipped, the screen was fine, but the navigation turned on to have us get off...

Pros: Small, light, easy to use interface, accurate, flexible.

Cons: Initial lock-on needs to be done standing still, more turn warning time.

The Bottom Line: The Nuvi 250 is a fine pocket GPS that will open up your world to explore, without getting you lost along the way.

Review: I purchased this GPS after moving to a new city, to help me navigate around until I learned where everything is located.

The Nuvi250 is a small unit, fitting easily in one hand. It has only 1 sliding button, that turns the unit on or can...

Pros: Stylish, Sleek, and Simple. Both are well thought out units.

Cons: Comparatively Expensive. No carrying case.

The Bottom Line: You pay your money, and you make your choice. Are Canada and Alaska worth $50? You decide!

Review: Differences and Similarities
Externally, the Garmin 250W, and the 200W, appear to be identical, and there is a good reason for this. It's because they are. They have the same 4.3" 480x272pixel widescreen display, they have the same...

Pros: Holds lots of favorites and easy to set.

Cons: None

Review: I love mine. The 4.3" screen is great. Easy to use. The screen with the compass direction and large speedometer reading is great. Another nice feature is the instant "next turn" audible and video diplay. The easy to read expected arrival time is...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, portable, simple to use

Cons: Thieves like to steal it, no quick way to escape submenus

The Bottom Line: If you go to unfamiliar or new places often, buy one. I don't think the price will go down much further.

Review: INTRODUCTION. I ve always wanted to buy a GPS navigation system for my car since the device became popular a few years ago. I knew the price was steadily declining, as most of electronics tend to do the first couple of years, and I had to guess at...

Pros: Great unit - love it!

Cons: None worth mentioning.

The Bottom Line: It's a great unit that gets the job done and doesn't break the bank.

Review: I have now had this unit for 4 months and it has bailed me out MANY times. It is really uncanny how accurate it is.

On occasion you will think "no way, I shouldn't be turning here" so you don't only to find that the unit WAS right. The...

Pros: Recommended. Easy to use, fast, accurate. I don't miss the text to speech.

Cons: Battery is a little weak - only about 4 hours. Takes a minute to sync.

Review: The other reviewers did a great job and I pretty much agree with their comments. I was impressed with its accuracy and speed. It really is a functional device. It takes the guesswork out of trying to find a Starbucks in a new area. I like that.
...

Pros: Powers up quickly, easy to see screen and clear commands

Review: We purchased this Garmin last week having done some research and truting the salesman. On Sunday we left for a day trip to visit friends. We had never been to see them so we programed the Garmin and off we went. Two hours later we were at our...
