Garmin Nuvi 255WT

from Riverside, California

I've used this for 2 months now in the Riverside-Orange County-Los Angeles-Long Beach areas. It took me a few days to get familiarized to its features; this has been stated clearly in the manual. Just click "Where To", pick your place and click "GO". I normally click the green button on the top left corner then click "Show Traffic". Love it. Listen to this: "Traffic Severe - Recalcualting", then it redirects you to local streets. The alerts are correct most of the times, like 50-70%. I would say that was good enough for 130 bucks I paid (not to mention I used 65 reward dollars and actually paid 65 bucks out of pocket. Found a few glitches: the map is not "THAT" up to date. I downloaded my one time updated map, it did not show the new entrance (on the right) from Magnolia-Corona to I-15 North, keep on telling me to turn left. But that is not a big thing. What surprised me was when I drove from Long Beach taking I-105 East toward I-605 South, this map did not see that exit which had been there for over a decade. Anyhow, I'm more than happy with this new toy.

What's great about it: Two thumbs up - Traffic feature is great - Good screen - Easy to use

What's not so great: A few glitches - Not a big deal

I would recommend this to a friend!
