I bought my Nuvi 255WT on Back Friday on the net and had it in 4 days with free shipping. No waiting in lines at the stores like the ones I endured at Wally World and Radio Shack only to find out everything was sold out! I bought this as a X-mas present for myself as we were spending the Holidays in Vegas, Arizona, and California. It was great to find a hotel in Del Mar Beach, Ca. when everbody was getting aggravated and tired from putting on over 400 miles going from Arizona to California in just over 7 hours including lunch and pictures, etc. Just look up hotels and it gives you every one in the area and more. The free lifetime traffic alerts feature was awesome to get out of busy L.A. trafffic as it re-routed us a different way to avoid it. Then as we wanted to try some authentic Mexican food before we left California, we just punched it in and found the cheesiest but greatest little dive with the best Mexican food we ever had. I use this unit everyday and find new shortcuts all the time. I've also let some of my drivers try it, and they've gone out and purchased a Garmin for themselves, though not always the same model as mine. The only thing I'd like on mine would be be bluetooth, but at $119.99 I'm not at all dissapointed. Kudos to Best Buy for always having the best deals on electronics, and I can't remember the last time I've purchased anything electronic from anybody else.
What's great about it: Easy to use, and who can beat Best Buy's price!
