Garmin Nuvi 2250

The Nuvi 2250 is a portable global positioning system receiver from Garmin that offers a step-down from the company's Nuvi 2250T model and a step-up from the Nuvi 2200 model. Featuring a 3.5-inch backlit anti-glare TFT touchscreen, this model includes pre-loaded street maps for all of North America including Mexico.

Equipped with "NuRoute" technology, the unit can keep track of a given user's favorite locations and provide increasingly accurate estimations regarding arrival time and distance information. "Lane Assist" navigation provides users with a first-person view of city and freeway lanes, outlining what lane should be used for the best possible results. The 2250 can also be used as a handheld pedestrian unit, with the "CityXplorer" function providing public transit information concerning bus, rail and tram systems. Voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions are supplied for precision and simplicity, with pre-configurable "Points Of Interest" based on a given user's preferences and zoomable digital elevation maps. "HotFix" satellite prediction technology prevents locational drop-off for consistent and accurate feedback, even when passing under bridges or through tunnels. In addition, Garmin's "Photo Connect" mode allows users to input a destination by uploading a picture of it, which the device will scan and search for results.
