The Garmin Nuvi 250W is the perfect pocket-navigator with wide screen, and over 130,000 pixels. The unit is designed with the antenna built-in, so it is easy to carry in the pocket when travelling. The comprehensive Australian mapping 2008 Edition, with all roads, tracks and streets, is pre-loaded in internal memory.
Just situate it on the windscreen, using the supplied suction cup, plug in to the cigar lighter socket, and it is ready for use. You can use it out of the car when walking, or on public transport, and receive instructions and guidance for up to 5 hours.
The internal maps allows the SD card slot to be used for additional maps and images. Additional
features include a Picture Viewer, Calculator, Currency Converter, Unit Converter and World Clock. Unique Garmin functions include configurable vehicle icons, and Garmin Lock™. This disables all unit functions, until the you type in a specific 4-digit PIN, or take the unit to a predetermined secure location.
The POI (point of interest) proximity alert feature is standard and this enables Speed camera, School zone, Red light camera and other Black spot data to be downloaded for advanced audible and visual warnings. Unlike other general retailers, we specifically load this data for every customer.
