Ended up exchanging Garmin 255WT unit for another same unit under the protection plan we purchased. Glad we bought protection plan this time. Unit work okay except that on 2 long distance trips down major highways, it wanted to inexplicably take us off the major highway multiple times during the trip. Couldn't figure out reason why. Wasn't for traffic or construction. Then unit wouldn't accept free download of latest maps. Maybe the unit was defective--we have a new unit with the latest maps already installed, so hopefully it'll work better. Otherwise, nice unit vocie and screen wise. I expect we'll be satisfied with the unit.
What's great about it: Easy to read screen
What's not so great: Unit wanted to repeatedly take us off main course
