Hi, I'm considering between the Garmin Nuvi 205W and the 250W to replace my WM Pocket PC GPS unit. I understand that the main differences between the two are: 205W Weight - 147.42 g (Lighter) Batt Life - 4hrs (Shorter Batt Life) Waypoints - 1000 FM traffic compatible - Yes Where Am I? - Yes Photo navigation - Yes Choose keyboard layout - Yes 250W Weight - 172.93 g (Heavier) Batt Life - 5hrs (Longer Batt Life) Waypoints - 500 FM traffic compatible - No Where Am I? - No Photo navigation - No Choose keyboard layout - No By looking at the comparison data gotten from the Garmin website, it seems that the 205W is a better GPS device, am I correct? Are there any other differences between the two units other than what's stated in the Garmin website? Which would be a better option of a GPS unit? I have been using GPS via my WM Pocket PC + Bluetooth GPS Receiver and Mapking but I cannot search via postal codes. My WM Pocket PC also hangs often and runs out of battery REALLY fast. Will the Garmin 205W/250W GPS allow me to search postal codes? Are there any more advantages which the Garmin 205W/250W GPS has against these WM Pocket PC GPS combos? Pardon me for all these noob qns as I have very little knowledge on GPS devices. Are there any Garmin GPS expert bros/sis can enlighten me? Thanks, Ed

Me noob with gps. Wats the market price for garmin 250W? Does this model worth considering?
