I've only used TomTom navigator and was thinking about moving up to TomTom one. But is the Nuvi 250 good as it seems like a good price to me.

I can't seem to find a PGPSW review of the 250. How does it differ from the 350 & other nuvis please?

Does it have a choice of voices like Tomtom? Particularly can you have an English accent or are you stuck with am American?

Sorry if the answers to these questions seem obvious but, as I said, i have no experience of anything other than Tomtom.

Thanks Question

Looking over here Garmin highlight the main differences between 250 and 350 as being shorter battery life (5hrs on the 250, 8 on 350), 250 has no TTS, no Mp3 player, no headphone jack, no FM Traffic.

Yes - it has choice of voices and the English one isn't too bad.

I bought one from Amazon last week when they were £115. I'm very happy with it so far, it's my first Car GPS though so I've nothing to compare it with really. However for the price I couldn't really find anything better, the Tom Tom One was £15 more with just UK maps.

For an online review and lots of other info have a look at http://www.sciuridae.co.uk/garmin_sat_nav.htm
