Simple, intuitive navigation
The C250 is designed to be as user-friendly as possible.
On-screen buttons and clever predictive keyboard make it easy
to enter a destination, whether by name or full 7 digit postal
code. Frequently used addresses can be stored in a list of
favourites so you don't have to type them in every time, and
you can also designate a shortcut button for your own address.
As you drive along, all the journey information you need is
easy to see. Estimated time of arrival, distance, battery,
TMC and signal status can all be viewed. You can also keep
an eye on the speed you're travelling at and, just in case
you need reminding, speed limits are also shown when available.

Choose the way you want to travel
You can use the C250 outside the car as well as inside it.
Thanks to the pedestrian mode, you can use the C250 to explore
Great Britain on foot. It navigates as smoothly in the historical
centre of York as on the motorway.
The C250 takes account of the way you want to travel on the
road as well. Choose the type of vehicle you're using, the
type of route you prefer, even the type of road.
After all, if you want to walk you'll probably want to take
a different route to when you go by car or cycle. Whether
you want to avoid toll roads, go by the quickest way possible
or take the shortest route, the C250 shows you which way to
go.
