I've had the Garmin Nuvi 255WT for 4 weeks now and am pleased with the accuracy of the directions, but after owning both TomTom and Garmin devices am disappointed the mid-level Garmin does not provide multiple English language speakers. The computer generated mono-tone female voice which comes as the only option is painful to listen to. Also disappointed Garmin does not allow you to display more info on the main screen such as distance to destination, hrs/mins to destination like the TomTom. I do like how Garmin indicates, when arriving at your destination, whether "on right" or "on left"unlike the TomTom.
What's great about it: Accurate directions; bright screen
