Garmin nuvi 250W

With its ultra-cool widescreen display and preloaded maps for Europe, the affordable, fun nüvi 250W delivers directions on the go — wherever life takes you. For an additional cost saving, check out nüvi 200W which offers less map coverage at a lower price. Like the rest of the compact nüvi 200-series, you’re just a few screen taps away from anywhere.

With nüvi 250W's widescreen display, you'll always get the big picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright, brilliant colour. Its sunlight-readable, antiglare, landscape, 4.3-inch display with white backlight is easy to read — from any direction.

Navigate with Ease

nüvi 250W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the colour screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nüvi 250W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

Take It With You

Like the rest of the nüvi 200-series, nüvi 250W sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.

Go Beyond Navigation

Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 250W includes many travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards let you add additional features.
