I used to own the Garmin Nuvi 265T with Bluetooth. Did not use the Bluetooth feature at all. So, I decided to sell it and get this one. Love it, love it, love it. It is easy to use. The voice for directions is much clear. It also says the name of your arrival destination. Up to date maps and many other functions. Go for it!
I bought my Garmin Nuvi 1250 a few days ago. I have never owned a GPS, but used a few from friends in the past. I wanted one that had free traffic updates and was easy to use AND inexpensive. With this Garmin, I got it all. I have not even opened the manual yet and I’ve already traveled the back roads of Wisconsin that would have had me lost in the woods! This morning it saved me from being late to work by giving me last minute traffic updates. I can’t believe what a great little GPS I got for under $200 bucks. If you are thinking about buying one, seriously, just do it. I waited for a few years and I’m so happy with my purchase. It may be the best money I ever spent!
This is the best thing I ever got. Nuvi 1250 catches satellites within 10 seconds. Also it has a fast recalculating speed and clear voice. A great GPS compares with the other garmins I used.
Pros: easy to use, catch satellites quickly, fast recalculating speed, text to speech, clear voice, 1 free map updating within 60 days purchasing, Canada map included
Cons: no QWERT key board, short battery life
Overall, it is a great GPS for 200 dollar range
