3 out of 5 stars Good, but uses back roads in France...   August 18, 2008

Having read the reviews and seen the benefits of my friend's TomTom in France last year, I went for the Garmin, having read the reviews. Generally, I am very happy with the Garmin but, despite the settings being ok, it kept directing me on C roads between towns in France, when D roads are more suitable; for those unsure of C roads, they are basically a single lane country track, and there are quite a few tractors in France! Despite this, I am happy with the Garmin, although the 2008 European maps are not as up to date as my 2008 AA France road atlas.

I brought a Garmin 250W from amazon it arrived within 3 days and was so easy to set up and use I was really suprised we use it all the time now. The other day i lent it to my sister in law she used it and found it so simple now I've got to find one for her

I used this straight out of the box....no set up at all required to get going. I am not technical by any means so this was a big plus for me. It is so easy to use and has lots of useful things like points of interest. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that although it has European mapping, it didn't work in the Greek Islands which was one of the reasons I bought it but has all the main european maps. I would still highly recommend this.

I was hostile to the thought of Sat Nav until we tried it. It is very effective for urban driving and is very patient when you don't follow its instructions. br /The ability to have instant directions in a strange place to a petrol station or supermarket is very useful. br /This one does work with a heated front windscreen.
