Good Points

Very easy to programme destinations, clear screen and nice loud voice.


Bad Points

Mine took ages (15 minutes on average) to locate satellites which makes it useless if you are in a hurry. Someone said that it can't locate them through your windscreen but that sounds ridiculous.


General Comments

Although I liked the screen on my Garmin nuvi 250, ease of programming and loudness of voice, I found it look ages to locate a signal which made it a waste of time if you are starting off from an inner city location.

    Some windscreens have alot of lead in them [mainly french cars]. Which makes it hard for the sat navs to locate a signal also windscreens that have heated elements in them, can make it hard to pick up a signal.
