Garmin Nüvi 250 Car GPS Receiver

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.

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

Pros: finding stores and restaurants

Cons: will get you lost.

The Bottom Line: I don't recommend this GPS.
