My first GPS is OK
on January 12, 2010
Posted by: RoboTeach
from Virginia
The incredible Black Friday price for the 255WT convinced me to buy my first GPS unit. I was very impressed with the bright high resolution screen. The unit recalculates quickly when I make a short deviation from the planned route. It quickly acquires the satellites and its display of the car's location is spot on. Volume was fine at 70% even with the radio on. I was disappointed that the users manual didn't come with it. I know its available online but that is not going to help me in the car. I recommend reading the manual since some of the functionality is not obvious. On the negative side, the unit could not find my son's house even though the subdivision is 10 years old. Google maps could not find it either but Mapquest could. I was able to input it using Lat/Lon. The route it generated for a new store took me past the correct intersection by a quarter mile. Google maps had the correct turn. The user's manual lacked instructions for modifying the generated route. By using Via points I was able to modify the route. The Garmin web site is not intuitive but after some frustration I was able to download a free map update.
What's great about it: Black Friday price was great, screen brightness and resolution is good.
What's not so great: Can't find some destinations, no manual
I would recommend this to a friend!
