Style and Design

The Garmin Nuvi 250 Portable GPS comes in two shades: silver and pink. The design is small so that you can easily carry the Nuvi 250 with you on backpacking outings or anywhere you want to go. The display on the Nuvi 250 is a sizable 2.8 inches wide and 2.1 inches high with a backlight (so you can read the readout at night) and an anti-glare screen. The unit also is prepared with rechargeable lithium batteries. You can charge the Nuvi 250 in your automobile with a cigarette lighter adaptor. The Nuvi 250 also offers a touch-responsive screen that is great to operate the system; it can be called into service for finding your directions at a touch.

Safety Features

The Garmin Nuvi 250 also carries a few standard safety features. As you first run your Nuvi 250, the product will not give you the chance to key in destinations unless you have come to a complete stop. This is a setting that is put into effect for the unit during production, but you can change this setting if you require more flexibility.

The glare-free display screen also helps you put all your concentration on the road. With a single glimpse of the screen during your next stoplight, you can easily see which way you need to go.
