Don't get if for the Traffic feature

The only reason I got this model was because of the FM Traffic feature. I've had the unit for a week now and it has never received any updates. I will be returning it.
If you don't mind not getting the FM Traffic updates, then the unit will be perfect for you. All the other features worked well and the maps and directions are very clear and easy to follow.
What's great about it: Size, re-routing process time, maps.
What's not so great: FM Traffic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased 2 of these units. First one failed after 3 weeks of ownership. Second one failed in two weeks. Unit is awesome in my opinion. Liked everything about it. Much easier to use than the built in unit in our MBZ. However, after 3 weeks of using it, the first unit lost contact with the satellite signal. Took it back and got another one to replace. This one had the same problem, but only lasted about 2 weeks. Must have been a bad batch of them I guess. Will try another brand. Too bad, as I really liked the device.
What's great about it: I liked everthing about this unit until....
What's not so great: Loses satellite contact
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the 255WT, hoping that it would help me on my trip in NY. Boy, was I wrong!
I haven't been to NY area before and I thought I could rely on the device and save myself some time. But I actually wasted more time than I ever had on any trip with a map. Yesterday I was driving from Holbrook NY to White Plains. It should take about 1.5hrs according Google. With the help of this GPS, it actually took me 3.5hrs. It took me to the NY downtown area and I was stuck in the 1st ave for two hrs in heavy traffic. The live traffic feature of the device rarely worked. It only showed me some traffic with 3 or 5mins delay, while there was actually no delay at all, and didn't show any alert when the delay was more than 2hrs on the 1st ave. The right way to White Plains from Long Island should actually be all highways instead of small local streets. The GPS took me way off the short/quick route, although I selected "quickest" navigation in the setting.
I am not happy with this 255WT at all. But considering that I should take some responsibility for not preparing for my trip and that I should not rely too much on the GPS, I'm still going to keep it. It did take me to the destination, although through a very long route.
What's great about it: Recalculation is quick.
What's not so great: navigation; traffic alert
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Needed a GPS unit easy enough for my in-laws to use - lifetime traffic alerts will be perfect for them since they live in Chicago - got a great price by buying it at 12 AM on Thanksgiving day.
What's great about it: Tons of features, everything that my in-laws needed in a GPS
What's not so great: nothing so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very disappointed at the route the unit took, routed me on and off the innerstate highway on to red roads I guess because programing told it this was the fastest way to go (stupid?) -while towing a trailer. Downloaded new programming and maps and the unit picked up a few turns returning home that did not exist! Latest maps did not pick up new highway route that has been open in this area for 3 months- GET TO WORK GARMIN !
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Very poor routing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Garmin charges for map updates

My biggest gripe with this GPS is that Garmin charges $50.00 for a map update. They are very firm and adamant about that price. I think $10 would be more reasonably priced for a map update. You do get a free map update as long as you upddate it within 60 days; but future map updates will cost you at $50.00 Ridiculous. So I cannot recommend any Garmin products, especially when I have froends with GPS units from other manufacturers that offer free lifetime map updates.
What's great about it: It works well.
What's not so great: Map updates cost $50 a pop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
