I grabbed the Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS for both me and my parent’s vehicles when we had to travel across the country for a large family reunion. Myself and my father are known as navigationally’ challenged individuals and also incredibly stubborn with asking for help, so I figured that if I did buy Garmin’s Nuvi 250 for our vehicles that it would help ease the stress on our wives during the long road trip. I was kind of nervous as my father has never took well to fancy electronics, but was incredibly surprised to find how much he had loved using it when he took it out for a test drive, and the mere fact that he was explaining to me how to use our new Nuvi 250’s goes to show you how simple and easy it is to get up and running.

One thing that I didn’t like was how manual lacked much detail, but my normally technologically challenged father had luckily spent much time with his garmin 250 gps and was able to show me all the ins and outs of the unit before our cross country trip tomorrow.

I have drove around the city a bit with it now, and am totally impressed and happy I decided to buy this thing! It’s simple, quickly chooses routes that are most appropriate, and helps to take any stress or worry out of driving. I highly recommend it after having only used it in my own city, and I will offer a follow up comment and garmin nuvi 250 review once we get back from our trip!
