MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TORCH ONBOARD!
I only used this three times. Last week when I tried to use it, The screen backlight refused to come on. The battery was fully charged, hit reset, searched google and discovered others had same complaint. I had a tom tom one before, and that used to switch off half way along a journey, so I thought getting the Garmin was a good idea. I am going to stick to my cheapskate nokia gps thing on my phone. I will not worry about cops going to prosecute me, they are never to be seen, as they are all doing paperwork
Great value for money 
If you want a no-nonsense, totally adequate sat-nav that's simple to set up, does the job well and recalculates very rapidly if you deviate from the original route, then this is for you. It has user selectable levels of map detail, vehicle types (including on foot) and route types eg shortest, fastest etc. I find it is perfectly stable when mounted on the easy to use Nav-Mat dash mount which of course does not leave tell-tale security-risk suction rings on the widscreen or dash.

I don't use the photo and music funtions but they work OK. The only minor criticism is that when approaching a turning it can lag by a few metres behind the car's real position, but since these things are supposed to be used with eyes open and brain engaged it's not a problem.

So easy to set up on the computer and in the car.
Very easy to hear and see, or you can adjust sound and brightness levels, ideal if you like your music, like me.
Not being too sure about this kind of product, I was aprehensive about buying it. I'm glad I did though! I had to use it within 2 days of receipt.
The first trip I had was as far away as Farnham in Surrey, over 120 miles from mine! I wouldn't have found the address without the aid of my Nuvi.
I was also pleased to see the darker colours at night which was not at all hard on the eye.
The only downside, if you can call it that, is no bluetooth or accident/ delay reports.
Those are only minor problems, I had enough to worry about driving on that busy road.
A pleasure to use, If you can afford one, buy one!!!!
Garmin 250 Satnav
Bought this for my Son and Daughter-in-law,
I chose the Garmin after seeing my friend use his Garmin satnav.
It is easy to use, the graphics are clear - although it is not a widescreen model. The speech is clear and the volume can be adjusted.
The satnav came with an in-car charger and fixing bracket.
I bought this at a fraction of the cost of models sold in the high street and less than at a supermarket.
So, if you want a good buy this is the satnav to buy.

The instructions as supplied, and via the Internet, leave much to be desired.Indeed, my rating for this item is purely speculative because I have not been able to use it yet.
