I purchased this product after getting lost in an unfamiliar area of town and spending more time trying to get out of it than it would have taken me just to deal with traffic. It is simple, compact, and easy to use. I am a big fan of Garmin and have a few Garmin products. I just wish they were more interchangeable and Mac friendly. Overall, this is a great little GPS for a car.
What's great about it: Easy to use and set up.
What's not so great: Wish I could use my data cards from my handheld GPS with it.

any one looking for a reliable unit that hits all the main requirements for a home run should seriously consider this unit.
Even in brooklyn it had me finding faster ways to friends places (because brooklyn streets are a jigsaw!) but loved it the first day, even though i was a litle concerned it didnt have WAAS or Bluetooth, it really doesnt need either, its that good.
Solid good news.
What's great about it: Traffic updates and big screen

Overall, I think the gps system works great overall. It tells you your speed and at times it will tell you the speed limit of the road you are on. The only negative thing is it will tell you to turn when there is only a bend in the road.
What's great about it: It tells your speed and at times it will tell you the speed limit of the road you are on
What's not so great: Occasionally it tells you to turn onto the same road when it is just a bend in the road

We had a nuvi 205 before, but it finally died so we upgraded to the 255WT. Very satisfied with the GPS function, however the FM "traffic alert" has never signalled us to watch for traffic (in Houston!). I don't see anyway to check that it is functioning. Disappointed in the documentation that came with it. It didn't explain the traffic alert feature at all, and there is an icon on the screen that I can't discover the significance of....not covered in the documentation and also can't find info on-line.
What's great about it: Speaks streat names
What's not so great: Poor documentation. There are features I can't discover how to use, as there is no book with it, nor on-line manual .

This is my first gps unit , so I wasn't even sure I could use it. I deliver freight for a trucking company, I was surprised at how easy it was. Much easier than finding locations on a map . It tells me directions well before I get to the corners, even tells me which side of the street it is on. I love it, and would recommend it to anyone.
What's great about it: Easy to use, re-routes within seconds if you decide to take different route.

This gps is simple and works great. i love how it lets you know that there is traffic but its not always accurate. I also love the eco appilcation and it tells you how good and bad you are doing on gas.
Only thing i hate about this gps is that it has no route planing. It always gives me a local route?? when the highway is right next to me?? Highway will take me to my location a lot faster and not using a lot of gas on local streets with all those stops. I dont understand even on simple cheap gps like my previous gps which was tomtom xl let me route plan.
Another thing i hate is the map updates !! I drive to indianapolis airport all the time and they build a new airport about 1 year ago and its still not updated on my gps ? oh well
What's great about it: Traffic and Eco
What's not so great: No route planing ?? No recent map updates ??
