Great graphics/poor sound quality

Before I bought this Garmin, some reviews mentioned the questionable sound quality. I also have a TomTom 125SE.
The graphics on Garmin are superior, but sound quality is important to me since I have some hearing loss. The TomTom's sound quality is EXCELLENT.
My wife has perfect hearing, so the quality of the Garmin sound doesn't bother her as much; however, she definitely notices the superior quality and clarity in voice commands with the TomTom vs the Garmin.
Bottom line: If you don't mind a muffled like sound quality, go with Garmin............but if sound quality and clarity is important to you, then think about another option. Give it a thumbs up to my superior audiology friends
What's great about it: Graphics are great, easy to use
What's not so great: Poor audio
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is an excellent GPS, better than the $2000 GPS I have in my Mercedes and Infinity. Easy to set up and use. Provides instructions in many languages, so it is helpful for individuals that have limited knowledge of English. Works out of the box. Go get one. Better yet, get one for a loved one so you don't need to worry.
What's great about it: Easy to use, great price
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

In jersey there are 10 ways to get to everywhere. The unit has a very limited capability for re-routing beyond shortest distance or eco-routes.
What's great about it: Fast, easy to read
What's not so great: It is very limited in its ability to re-route to alternate routes
I would recommend this to a friend!

from NC
Drove almost 3000 miles during Christmas holidays. Everything was good except traffic indication didn't work well, not accurate. It showed a heavy traffic (red and sometimes yellow) but it didn't have traffic at all.
What's great about it: Recalculation is fast
What's not so great: Traffic doesn't work well. Too many false positives.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Manual is minimal. Doesn't this give choice of route type??
While it will get one there eventually adapting to the actual route one drives, it keeps wanting to direct one to it's chosen route. Perhaps I need to figure out just what all can be done with it but it isn't as good as some other gps systems friends have.
What's great about it: still learning, good price, good display, easy
What's not so great: routing is not direct but main roards
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I think this nuvi 255WT is aswsome. Its easy to use, I got a really good deal, and its the perfect size. the only thing I don't like is that I live in OK. where there are lots of turnpikes and it always wants to take me the turnpike way instead of the free road. Besides that its great!!
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Always takes me the turn pike way

If only this baby came with the ac power cord and usb cable we'd have a 5 star all around device. If you have an old Razr V-3 ac charger, that works just fine with this unit as it does with my unit. As for the usb cable, this is a must if you want the latest maps and other downloads from Garmin. Don't be fooled into thinking you need to buy the Garmin Sync cable for $22.95 plus tax if applicable. You don't have to, all you have to do is buy a usb to mini usb (A to B) that has a ferrite cylinder inline and your all good. Oh, make sure you get five contacts (inside) on the mini side of the usb cable. I bought mine from Monoprice.com #5448 for $3.13, beats $22.95 any time. Buy and enjoy. Another thing is that the model I bought from BB was the 255WT, the "T" stands for traffic but has floating ads that comes with this free service. The other traffic service MS Direct will be discontinued in Jan. 2012. "W" stands for 4.3" screen
What's great about it: Very user friendly, stays in place, touch screen reacts nicely.
What's not so great: Does not come with ac power cord or usb cable to download new maps
I would recommend this to a friend!
