Excellent Investment
on January 18, 2010
Posted by: Drew10

An overall great product. I was pleased with my purchase of the 255WT. I bought this at $130. It was the same price (at the time) as the 255W, so I just bought this one. However, I don't even need the "T" (traffic).
Another reason this model is more expensive than the 205W is the text-to-speech ability (spoken street names). It may be helpful if you are navigating a town with many streets close by, but when your street is the only street in sight, it doesn't make much of a difference. So, it's up to you to decide if this feature is worth the investment. And, the pronunciation is actually very accurate. You can even choose different languages in case English is not your primary language.
The system is very easy to mount to a car windshield. The only problem with mounting is that sometimes the mount will leave behind smudges.
I've noticed the battery life is fairly short. I pretty much always have a low battery warning whenever I use it. Also, the GPS doesn't come with an AC charger for in-home charging. I can only charge it in my car. (However, most cell phone chargers will fit this GPS. Some HTC, BlackBerry, Motorola...)
What's great about it: Easy to use; great deal on sale ($130); clear and accurate pronunciation of street names; big, bright screen
What's not so great: Short battery life; few wrong roads (roads that don't exist), but very rare
I would recommend this to a friend!
