| With its ultra-cool widescreen display and preloaded maps of North America,
the affordable, fun nüvi 250W delivers directions on the go — wherever life
takes you. For an additional cost savings, 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 color. 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 color 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. Purchase Garmin
Travel Guides for detailed data on attractions and our
SaversGuide for
information on nearby merchants offering discounts to customize nüvi for your
travel needs.
