I purchased the Garmin 255wt and TomTom XL 330s. Went on a road trip with both setup side-by-side. Entered address of destination and Garmin found it without any issues, TomTom could not find address. Both devices responded about the same while traveling. Needless to say, I returned the TomTom and am now a solid Garmin fan.
What's great about it: Great screen, easily updated via Garmin Web Updater, long battery life, finds every address entered.
What's not so great: Traffic function requires the Car Charger to work.
