User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent GPS Works Very well
I got this for my brother. He loves it and I tried it once. It is easy to use and give great directions. If you want it to actually say street names instead of just turn here, then you need to get a more expensive model.

4 Stars I like it
It is easy to use although I have a few questions and there is not a manual and I did not see a way to get answers at their website.

For the most part I really do like it a lot.

4 Stars Works
It works alright. Doesn’t have maps of the new areas but for the most part it is very decent for the price.

4 Stars Great device
The Garmin is a great device for those who are geographically challenged, or those who travel to new areas. It is incredibly easy to use (my[...] granddaughter and my 87 year old father figured it out without help.) The one drawback is that it cannot be used while it is charging. That requires thinking ahead, which is a challenge for some users…

3 Stars It will get you there – eventually
I picked up the pink Garmin nuvi 250 as a lightning deal at a very good price. I like the ease of use, that I can change the driving icon (a blue-nosed reindeer! The Black Pearl!), the search functions for addresses, as well as POIs along the way. Those were all great.

The area I was disappointed in was the actual navigating. Two months after I received this, I took a cross-country trip, which was 26 hours straight driving. On the way back, we were making excellent time as I was driving, but then about half-way through the drive, I found a gas station POI, and drove us there. I turned the keys over to my spouse, and promptly fell asleep. When I woke up a few hours later, we had been directed away from the interstate, and onto state and county highways. I think the device believes you are going to keep going 70 mph, but you cannot do that on the two lane highways somewhere out in Timbuktu. We got home, but probably a couple hours later than if we had stayed on the interstate.

5 Stars Love it!
This case is a perfect match for my pink garmin. The inside is made of a soft material to keep it from scratching the LCD screen.

5 Stars Works Great with Nuvi 250
I bought this for a friend who had recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 250. She want a carrying case to protect the unit, but also like the style that came with the unit being pink inside. It met all the requirements she was after. I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes to carry their Nuvi with them in a purse or backpack.

5 Stars Great fit!

The case has a nice snug fit so as to keep the unit from sliding out when not in use. Highly recommended!

5 Stars Perfect fit
I picked this up a few days after getting the pink Garmin Nuvi 250 for a steal in a Lightning Deal. It slides right in, protects the screen in my bag, and masks what it is when I leave it in my car console so people won’t know what they’d be stealing if they were to bust into my car…

5 Stars Stylish, yet very functional – A must have.
I purchased a pink Garmin Nuvi 250 and this case is an excellent accent which provides protection while being fashionable all at the same time. This case fits my GPS snuggly, protecting it from any scratches, while allowing it to fit into my purse for easy transport. The case is not too tight where you have to struggle to get the GPS unit out, but rather just snug enough to hold the unit securely in place. The only thing that you need to be aware of when using this case is that the power button on the Garmin Nuvi 250 must remain outside of the covered part of the case, otherwise the unit will be turned on when placed in the case. This isn’t an inconvenience, but you just have to be aware of the presence of the button when attempting to remove the unit from the case, otherwise you can potentially do damage to the GPS if not careful. Overall, I love this case and would recommend it to anyone who needs a way to protect their GPS unit. This case is very well made and far exceeded my expectations. The low price is a huge, added benefit, especially since I shopped around for this case, and even with shipping, you can’t beat this price in any store.

5 Stars Great carry case
If you have a Garmin and are female, this is perfect. I was carrying it around in a ziploc as to not scratch the screen. I love this carry case. It fits like a glove so the Garmin will not slide out and keeps it safe in my purse. I would highly recommend it esp. paying a high price for the system, you want to keep it nice.
