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 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.

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...

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...

I don't currently own this sat nav, however I have borrowed one from a relative on several occasions and I can say that it is a very good sat nav almost all of the time.
