Garmin nuvi 1250 Review
Don’t you ever wish when you go to a new place that you had
a friend or a co-driver who could guide you on the shortest and
fastest route to your destination? There are times when you
stop and ask for directions only to get confused later on “did
he say right or left?” This is not just frustrating but also
time consuming as well! However, with the advent of
Garmin nuvi 1250, the woes of frequent
travelers will soon end. Garmin nuvi 1250 is another name for
handy and reasonable course plotting. With its great features
like preloaded maps, street name announcements and eco Route
system, Garmin's nuvi 1250 is the perfect companion for
you.

nuvi 1250 GPS Navigator
Slimmer by more than 25% from its other
predecessors the nuvi 1250 is perfect for all your traveling
needs. Just slip it into your pocket or purse and go wherever
you need to. The rechargeable lithium ion battery that powers
your Garmin Nüvi 1250 makes sure that you are never without
directions. If you want to use some kind of public transport
then the Garmin Nüvi 1250 takes guess work out of your life and
its new Public Transit mode along with the
CityXplorer content gives you all the up to
date information about buses, trams and subways.
The Garmin 1250 is like a friendly co-driver
sitting next to you in all your trips. However, unlike a
human it just asks you two questions: “Where
To” and “View Map”. The color
touch screen helps you to find out the required addresses
and the services. It also has voice prompted directions
that tell you the street names that come turn by turn as
you head towards your destination. You even get factory
installed 2D and 3D street maps and approximately
6 million points of interest (POIs) which
can be upgraded to custom points of interests. With the
nuvi 1250 you will even know the speed limit for all the
important roads in your city. If you want to go trekking
or hiking in the hills, the elevation maps can give you a
complete view of the surrounding terrain with contour
shading and higher zoom levels. The improved interface
allows you to effortlessly navigate between screens. If
you need to get to your destination in a hurry then the
HotFix satellite prediction feature helps
you to know your position and finds the fastest way to get
to your destination!

• "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!" - A.Sholler (NJ,USA)
The ecoRoute feature saves you times,
money, petrol and effort by calculating the quickest, shortest
route to your destination that will help you save on fuel
consumption. Whether you are a city, national or an
international traveler the Garmin nuvi 1250 has features like
world clock, JPEG picture viewer and currency converter to help
you in all situations. You can even download photographs and
images with Garmin Connect Photos for easy
browsing. You can even opt for the traffic
alerts feature that tells you about the traffic in
your city. It also has an emergency locator known as “Where Am
I” which means that you can never get lost.
This locator gives you the coordinates of your location,
hospitals and fuel stations nearby. It also has an anti theft
feature called the Garmin Lock which means no
one can take your Garmin GPS unit from you! So next time you go
anywhere don’t forget to take your little friend Garmin nuvi
1250 along!
