• "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!

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!
