Garmin nuvi 1250 Automotive GPS Receiver

I purchased a Garmin nuvi 1250 Automotive GPS from a local retailer when it was on sale and really use the display feature of both posted speed limit AND the speed that I'm driving at right next to each other. I knew that I wanted the same GPS in my second car. When the eBay daily deal email had one listed refurbished for 33% lower price, I decided to take a chance buying one refurbished. Although I was nervous when I got it and it would not turn on right, I merely had to plug it in for a full charge. Since that first day of getting the full charge it has run perfectly! There is a plastic guard on the rubber circle for the windshield that needs to be removed or it falls off. The only difference is that the location of the speed icons was on the right of the display, not on the left as shown in the product description on the eBay listing. For $99, it's well worth the peace of mind to get directions to and from home! It has never lost sattelite connection. This has changed my mind on buying refurbished. I also purchased the extended warranty for the touch screen and workings when I checked out. I would definitely buy this again!

Inexpensive; however, it was easy to set up, easy to use, bright, and loud enough to hear over the car noise and radio.

I bought this to help me drive across the state, and it helped me a lot. Sometimes I would get turned around with detours from construction (Michigan), but it would always recalculate and help me out.

This is my first GPS, but I am happy and would highly recommend.

I bought this Nav aid to help me get to new places. It works well and provides quick initialization and accurate routes. Small size makes it easy to bring with you when you leave the car.

This GPS system is simple in learning how to use it and is very receptive to my touch, unlike my previous GPS system. It speaks street names clearly and it's really helpful to have the FREE traffic alerts!

This Garmin works perfectly IF you input the correct info. It helped in finding an alternate route when the interstate closed down due to a major accident. We purchased because of a long car trip we're taking and decided on a Garmin because of it's name and reviews.
