I recieved my Garmin as a Christmas present this year(my parents are the best parents ever). Garmy is my co-piolit now where ever I go. The only thing that Garmy has done that annoyed me was that one of the ways it took me got me stuck at a Railroad Crossing not once but twice. How awesome would it be if the GPS's could account for trains? overall I am very happy with my garmin. It is so nice that it says street names and shows you the street name you are going to be turning on to. There is also an Eco Route function and you can see how much your trip is costing you in gas, your highest/lowest speed/your average speed/how long you have been driving and how long you have been stopped. Just overall great product and I woud recommend it to anyone! :)
What's great about it: it shows and tells you the street you are supposed to be turning on to.

I can't imagine living without my Garmin. I feel like I don't need to worry about getting lost and I'm gonna get where I need to go (even if it seems like it's leading me wrong - which we all know seems to happen some times :-p).
What's great about it: Having directions for wherever I need to go...

Screen is bright. If you do not upgrade the maps then, in our case, some street names are different. This makes traveling to other states tough. It was good overall and Ilike the ECO challenge feature. It really makes you pay attention to how you are driving normally. I like the fact that it guess the names of cities and places for you and that saves a little time.
What's great about it: text to speech, loud voice, recalculating feature in case you miss exit or turn.
What's not so great: sometimes seems to tell you late when to take exit or turn.

Our version is used for play, but our son uses his to find places for his job as a marketing manager for a dental company. He says it is great but wishes he had bluetooth version though for hands free calls. Its holder/stand is not the greatest so bought a nav travel pack for it and this solved our problems for both storage and usage.
What's great about it: Easy to use, superb price, accurate
What's not so great: wish we had bought the bluetooth version, stand /holder not so great

I bought my Nuvi 255WT on Back Friday on the net and had it in 4 days with free shipping. No waiting in lines at the stores like the ones I endured at Wally World and Radio Shack only to find out everything was sold out! I bought this as a X-mas present for myself as we were spending the Holidays in Vegas, Arizona, and California. It was great to find a hotel in Del Mar Beach, Ca. when everbody was getting aggravated and tired from putting on over 400 miles going from Arizona to California in just over 7 hours including lunch and pictures, etc. Just look up hotels and it gives you every one in the area and more. The free lifetime traffic alerts feature was awesome to get out of busy L.A. trafffic as it re-routed us a different way to avoid it. Then as we wanted to try some authentic Mexican food before we left California, we just punched it in and found the cheesiest but greatest little dive with the best Mexican food we ever had. I use this unit everyday and find new shortcuts all the time. I've also let some of my drivers try it, and they've gone out and purchased a Garmin for themselves, though not always the same model as mine. The only thing I'd like on mine would be be bluetooth, but at $119.99 I'm not at all dissapointed. Kudos to Best Buy for always having the best deals on electronics, and I can't remember the last time I've purchased anything electronic from anybody else.
What's great about it: Easy to use, and who can beat Best Buy's price!

I like the accuracy and range of information I can get. For a couple of bucks more they should have included some of the "accessories" , that I call necessities.
What's great about it: Easy to set up and use. very accurate so far.
What's not so great: Don't like the choices of voices and hate to pay for a good one

This product was very easy to learn how to use which was an important factor to me, a senior adult. So far, I have not had any problems with the product. Of course, it would be nice if it had more features but for the amount of money spent for this GPS it does everything it should.
What's great about it: Easy to learn how to use
What's not so great: so far I've been pleased with this product
