Garmin Nuvi 200W/250W Review

 

Update: See my Garmin Nuvi 205W/255W Full Review - better interface and hardware than the Nuvi 200W/250W - I recommend moving up to the 205W/255W if possible.

Garmin nuvi 250W Review

 

The nuvi 200 series is Garmin's latest offering in the highly successful nuvi product line, and is targeted at the budget conscious consumer who is looking for basic navigation without all the bells and whistles of the higher end nuvi's. Fresh on the...

Great Entry-Level Widescreen GPS.

Purepower Express 250W - Bjorn3D.com

 

Every overclocker knows that heat is your worst enemy. The best components sometime just cannot cope with the excessive heat and that's why there are tons of products on the market design to keep the components running cool. We have seen CPU coolers,...

There is hardly anything negative that I can come up with regarding the Purepower Power Express 250W. At a price around $45 it is quite cheap, especially when you compare it to buying a completely new PSU. It has no problems to deliver the power needed...

Garmin Nuvi 250W Review

 

The first Nuvi 250W that I bought came in had a faulty battery that wouldn’t hold a charge for longer than half an hour. However, after I sent it back in and got a working specimen, I was amazed at how clear the 4.3” widescreen lcd was. I...

Garmin nuvi 250W

 

Garmin's latest GPS navigation unit is an entry-level model that boasts a 4.3in widescreen display and a sleek, ultra-slim design but it's a little ex...

Sleek and slim design, 4.3in widescreen display, user-friendly interface, reasonable performance

Expensive considering its entry-level position in the market, lack of included accessories

The nuvi 250W is a solid unit and the widescreen display is certainly a nice touch for an entry-level model, but its missing a few features to warrant its price tag.

Garmin nuvi 250W review

 

Garmin's slim 4.3in widescreen nuvi 250W looks great and has Europe-wide map coverage. If you mainly drive in the UK, though, you can buy the identical nuvi 200W with just UK and Ireland maps for around £30 less.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not what I expected...

 

I talked to GARMIN's Tech support an they said that there are many different versions of the 250W and that there was nothing that they could do to change the maps since it was preprogrammed at the factory. They told me to send it back to NewEgg. I have...

It showed up (fast shipping as always) and looks nice...

What I got only had maps for Mexico. When you enter the State/Provence for the address you want to go to, It only has locations in Mexico. On the box I received, it clearly stated that it only had Maps for Mexico. I did not see anywhere in the...

GARMIN nüvi 250W 4.3" Automotive GPS Navigation

 

Easy to use and start-up. Very inituitive interface. Bought as a gift for my in-laws - technically challenged and older 70+. They love it and like how easy it is use. It does what they say it will.

Wish it had an ac adapter for charging in the house. Garmin should put out miore detailed info on database updates with the device.
