Garmin nuvi 250

The item arrived appearing to be in good condition, but after 2 weeks, the Garmin would not stay on, and would not hold a charge. I attempted to contact the seller, no number, call Amazon, and the number… they have listed is a fax number. The Garmin is useless in this condition. It was great while it worked, 2 weeks and no more! The seller should provide a correct phone number to be able to contact in cases like this. I will request a refund.

I bought this navi for a trip to Chicago to use in a rental car in an area I was completely unfamiliar with. I was able to use it immediately without any fussing with instructions. I also made quite some… use of the POI feature, and found that fantastic (find the next gas station, Dairy Queen, outlet, etc.). Only once did it guide me to a store which had, in the meantime, apparently gone out of business. The instructions were clear and completely adequate. I mounted it with the windshield mount by sticking it to the radio display window, which worked fine (I had read windshield mounting not allowed in Ill.). In fact I found the height even better than on the windshield. It even took me right back to the correct rental car station at the airport. Recommended if you're looking for a cheap, no-frills but efficient machine!
