Nuvi 205w or 1250?

[dragonrage]

hey guys i need your opinions on what to buy between the two,
can you give me pros and cons about the two?

TIA and Happy New year

205 is a bit old, so you can probably get it cheaply.

1250 is slightly new model so maybe a bit more expensive, but has a bit more features.

Now? I'd probably suggest a 1250 just look or wait for Bargains.

Not sure about display sizes for both, think 205 is bigger? Not sure.

we'd rather not include it in the map.

you can mark it for your own use though.

Dragonrage, yes I'm the same guy in PHBYC.

Yes you can surely safe Waypoints of your favorite fishing or productive spots. However as Kuya Pokz said, these are not considered "valid contributions", I cannot even imagine you wanting to share your fishing spots to the whole RG community anyway. So you have to separate your private Waypoints from those that you want to contribute (that are of relevance to the community).

1250 if you want to mount on mountainbike! For fishing you need to invest in a waterproof pouch or enclosure to protect your unit from water or dunking.
