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 .
