I saw one in use in Germany,recently,where the roads and streets are not marked clearly as I would like. You need one there for sure. I am going to buy the Nuvi 250 ASAP. I have returned other GPS devices, but this one is a keeper.

I travel extensively and thought this would be a good purchase. When the unit was received it would display a message stating that I should update the maps. Why is Amazon shipping GPS units with outdated maps? The essence of a GPS is how accurate the roads are. I am very disappointed.

Before I purchased Garmin 650, I didn’t have any GPS, so my travels were based on Google or Mapquest maps. Garmine 650 cheated me thrice by giving incorrect information. Yesterday I took my family to South Lake Tahoe, CA. We been there 4-5 times and this was our first visit to Tahoe after the Garmin purchase. The configuration on the GPS was set for the Fastest Time(Factory settings). We thought we would follow our new travel companion (Nuvi 650) although it misbehaved earlier times. It took a different route and we reached 5 hours later at the destination. Instead of pretty straight route I680-I80-US50 it showed us Pittsburgh,Antioch,Stockton, Lodi and what not and finally put us on 50 without touching I80 at all. Even though we followed the route, intermittently it gave us Off-Route and recalculated the routes so many times.
While coming back as soon as we reached I80 Nuvi asked us to take a different route and the estimated travel time was showing 3 hrs 45 mins(fastest route). But since we knew the route, we followed I-80 and after a while recalculated and showed estimated time as 3 hrs 15 mins.
I am not satisfied with this GPS and would not recommend this. I guess I have to take the print(Google or Mapquest) for long distance travel.

You can’t register it w/o downloading a browser plugin. Said plugin won’t install. FAQ says you need new drivers. New drivers don’t install. Tech support looks for a familiar word in your complaint and emails a cut and paste response based on that one word.
Oh, and the battery is only good for a few minutes.
