QUALITY ITEM AND PRICED RIGHT

I purchased the Garmin Nuvi 250 for myself several months ago and liked it well enough to purchase one for each of my adult children and spouses as a Christmas gift. I have navigation system on my Infiniti but, frankly, find this easier to use plus the convenience of moving it to another auto.....and it's a lot less expensive than the navigation system on my Infiniti.

Very Reliable

We had a road trip from Quebec City through Montreal and towards the west to Niagara Falls and Toronto. There were just a few instances where the GPS failed on us especially on newly built roads and clover leafs which were not yet updated in the city map but generally, the GPS had guided us through all the side roads and main thoroughfares with a significant degree of accuracy and even through a ferry crossing which took us to our destination in Mont-Tremblant. It has saved us a lot of trouble.
