I love it mostly because we got a great deal on it. It was definately worth the money. I would love there to be more options for different voices. The Garmin website is great, you can personalize your Garmin w/different vehicles and such to be in your display. Battery life could be better. But I highly recommend it still (and have)
What's great about it: Easy to Use
What's not so great: The voices there are to choose from

This GPS is the best thing I ever purchased. It is great. Best Buy had a great price before Christmas and I am so happy that I bought it. This thing is taking me where ever I need to go without a problem. The traffice feature is great. If there is a traffice jam or accident, I hit a button and the GPS will give me alternate routes around the problem area. I am writing this review from the road, I am driving from New York to Florida, and the Garmin is going a great job. It gives me hotels, restaurants, etc. I'm in Georgia today and will be arriving in Florida tomorrow thanks to this wonderful GPS.
What's great about it: Best buy's price; easy to use, works excellently
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall solid GPS, price and functionality are competitive with other offers on the market. FYI I got it on sale for around 140. The traffic alert feature in theory is nice,however I haven't found it to be very useful. Possibly as more roads are monitored, it will be become better appreciated.
What's great about it: easy setup, decent price,
What's not so great: traffic alerts are yet to be proven useful
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received this garmin for christmas and thought is was good from the get go. Until i put it in my truck. once engine was on, it killed the satellite reception. i kept trying and trying for days, returned it for a new one...same problem. my truck has xm radio too. thought that maybe the issue. Nope. nuvi works in wifes car with xm and on-star. 2 co-workers brought their garmins to work to see if thiers worked in my truck...Nope, 4 garmins now. we also established no reception with in 25 foot radius of my truck engine running. chevrolet says its not my truck after numerous visits to chevy dealers and everthing is fine. In Short, Garmin or its distributers should have some sort of "compatibility" charts or knowledge of these issues.
i did update the software / firmware and maps...so this was not the issue
Tom Tom had too many bad reviews
I just brought my nuvi back, and ordered a Magellin. i have my fingers crossed.
What's great about it: everthing...except it wont work in the one place its needed, My Truck
What's not so great: NOT compatible with a 2004 Chevy Tahoe
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am madly in love with my Garmin 255WT. I use it anytime I go anywhere. I'm the type of person who gets lost. I'm horrible with directions. My Garmin gets me anywhere I need to go. I could not be more pleased with it.
I've tried several of the voices, they are all easy to hear. I prefer Samantha. The satellites pop up really fast. I've only had it say "acquiring satellites" once and it was brief. Haven't gotten to use the traffic feature because I live in an area with not a lot of traffic but I'm glad to have it for life!
My husband was skeptical about getting a GPS thinking it was unnecessary, but now he loves it as much as I do. The posted speed limits on the screen have helped me numerous times when I wasn't sure about the speed limits. Love the feature that calculates the time you will arrive at your destination. There's nothing I don't love so far.
The case seems really durable. I've dropped it and it didn't fall apart so it's better than my cell phone. I bought the non-friction dash mount and it's fantastic. That thing doesn't budge an inch no matter what's happening in the car.
This unit doesn't come with a USB cord but my digital camera cord fit and works fine. You even get a free 2010 update with the purchase.
Can't recommend this unit enough. Love, love, love it!!!
What's great about it: Easy to see, great directions, big screen, clear voice
What's not so great: Nothing so far!
I would recommend this to a friend!
