Style and Design

The Garmin Nuvi 250 Portable GPS comes in two hues: silver and pink. The style is small so that you can easily carry the Nuvi 250 near you along hiking trips or anywhere you desire to go. The screen on the Nuvi 250 is a generous 2.8 inches across and 2.1 inches high with a backlight (so you can take advantage of the screen even in the dark) and a glare-free screen. The unit also is equipped with rechargeable lithium batteries. You can pre-charge the system in your car with a cigarette lighter adaptor. The Nuvi 250 also includes a touch screen that is simple to direct the system; it may be called into service for navigation.

Safety Features

The Garmin Nuvi 250 also has several industry-standard safety tools. As you install your Nuvi 250, the item will not give you the chance to key in end points unless you have stopped your car. This is a setting that is installed in the unit when it is manufactured, but you can change this setting if you require more flexibility.

The no-glare display screen also helps you pay attention to the road. With a single glance at the screen when stopped by a traffic light, you can easily know which way you need to go.
