I have not used the unit too much yet since I have not travelled since purchasing it. It does not know where I Live, fo some reason it thinks I live on the other end of the road from where I actually live. I did use it to find an address I was unfamiliar with. I had printed out a map from one of the bigger internet map providers, and tried the unit. I came to a intersection where the map would have me take a left, but the Garmin said turn right. I folllowed the Garmins directions and it carried me right into the parking lot. So far I am well pleased with the unit. It is nice that it shows the posted speed limit on roads as you travel.
What's great about it: Easy to use once you get started
What's not so great: Menu icons are confusing when you first start
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purposely made wrong turns just to see what it would do. It said "reconfiguring" and I had a new route. It even had our long cabin driveway in the map. I wish I'd ordered it before I went on my vacation because I got lost.
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Can only charge in car, don't like to leave it in car
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my Garmin! I love that it is easy to use and that it is accurate. I am not good with directions, so I depend heavily on my Garmin. It has not lead me astray.
What's great about it: It is easy to use and accurate
What's not so great: Well, if it was cheaper, that would be nice
I would recommend this to a friend!

I previously had a Nuvi 350 and this is a nice upgrad: wider screen, auto change of time zones and even states, traffice alerts, etc. I'm enjoying all the new features ... good purchase
What's great about it: Traffic Info, wide screen, easier operation
What's not so great: Nothing so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thought he product is good, trying to find destinations addresses is not user friendly at that price. I could have gotten a cheaper one that did a better job
What's great about it: More information added
What's not so great: Some information not included
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fine; Points of Interest lacking

This is a fine GPS (and I have had far less technical problems with it than with TomTom) except for the points of interest listings. I took it on vacation and would liked to have used it to find local restaurants and attractions. However, I found that many of the restaurants listed were no longer there and there were a lot that I passed that Garmin didn't mention. My old TomTom was much more extensive in this area.
What's great about it: Easy to navigate once you learn it. Great shortcuts to common tasks.
What's not so great: Points of interests (restaurants, parks, etc) are outdated and very incomplete.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An overall great product. I was pleased with my purchase of the 255WT. I bought this at $130. It was the same price (at the time) as the 255W, so I just bought this one. However, I don't even need the "T" (traffic).
Another reason this model is more expensive than the 205W is the text-to-speech ability (spoken street names). It may be helpful if you are navigating a town with many streets close by, but when your street is the only street in sight, it doesn't make much of a difference. So, it's up to you to decide if this feature is worth the investment. And, the pronunciation is actually very accurate. You can even choose different languages in case English is not your primary language.
The system is very easy to mount to a car windshield. The only problem with mounting is that sometimes the mount will leave behind smudges.
I've noticed the battery life is fairly short. I pretty much always have a low battery warning whenever I use it. Also, the GPS doesn't come with an AC charger for in-home charging. I can only charge it in my car. (However, most cell phone chargers will fit this GPS. Some HTC, BlackBerry, Motorola...)
What's great about it: Easy to use; great deal on sale ($130); clear and accurate pronunciation of street names; big, bright screen
What's not so great: Short battery life; few wrong roads (roads that don't exist), but very rare
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good nav, traffic not really free

The Nuvi is a nice nav unit. With the traffic-enabled products you receive a power cable with a small FM receiver built in. This enables traffic on the display. But "free lifetime traffic" means that you must put up with small ads that appear whenever you are stopped for more than 10 seconds. I don't commute into a city, so I sold the cable and will use the traffic function on my iPhone if I need it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
