Garmin Nuvi 1250

The Garmin Nuvi 1250 is an ultra-thin protable GPS that fits in the middle of Garmin's 1200 series. The 1200 and widescreen 1300 series are 25% slimmer than other Nuvis making this an extremely transportable device. It has a 3.5" diagonal QVGA color antiglare TFT screen with white backlight with a 320 x 240 pixel resolution. The Nuvi 1250 greets you with two simple options; "Where to?" or "View map" and will speak turn-by-turn directions once you decide where you want to go. It is pre-loaded with City Navigator NT street maps with nearly 6 million POI's.  The ecoRoute feature calculates the most fuel-efficient route and the "Where am I?" function quickly helps you find your location on a map. Other features include JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock, currency converter, calculator and many more.
