4.3-inch-diagonal screen ; Straightforward navigation

No media player ; Lacks Bluetooth connectivity

Unfortunately, like the LG LN790, the Drive 250 plunges you into the heart of urban traffic rather than finding ways around it. On several occasions, the Drive GPS 250 recommended routes that may have been shorter as the crow flies, but that took much...

The Pharos Drive GPS 250 is simple to use and offers text-to-speech functionality. The portable navigation system also features a 4.3-inch screen.

The Drive GPS 250 can be sluggish with route calculations and general performance. Text-to-speech directions sound a bit robotic, and there's no included accessory to mount the system to your dashboard.

Despite ease of use and text-to-speech functionality, the Pharos Drive GPS 250 falters somewhat in the performance department. Test.

This is a handsomely designed unit with a crystal clear viewing screen for navigation with great maps. The navigation prompts, both visual and audio, are excellent and easy to follow. As a navigation tool, it performs well except for the paucity of POIs.

Its price is reasonable. It has all the features I need.

The respond speed kinda gets slow , after weeks of use.

Has all the features you need and works quite well.

Voice sounds like a computer and can't pronounce certain syllable's.

Large screen with easy to see icons

Cannot input way-points, it navigates to one selected destination at a time

Clear and large screen

It would be nice if this device could provide gas prices and traffic alerts. Need to hold power button for a while to turn on the device.

text to speech driving directions ; 4.3" large screen ; have pedestrian modes ; accurate enough to use in unfamiliar locales ; easy to use ; relatively inexpensive

no bluetooth ; no MP3 player
