Garmin nuvi 255WT GPS

on June 6, 2009

Posted by: bwdan2003

from Piscataway, N.J.

I bought this unit for my wife who had to make a trip to downtown Philadelphia on her own recently. Upon setting it up, we tried it out locally by using it to locate places we already knew. The directions given weren't always the most direct or logical however; it did get us where we wanted to go. There is nothing hard about setting this up for the first time. In fact, it's almost so easy that you don't need directions. Essentially, you plug in an address and tell it to "go". As far as "Garmin" quality goes this is the second unit that I've owned. The first being a GPS for my boat, which also provided waypoints and depth findings. "Garmin" is a fine instrument for the money. In terms of what model is right for you, it depends on your personal needs. Sometimes it's better to simply have what you know you'll need without all the "bells and whistles". Would I buy this unit again? Yes, absolutely.

What's great about it: Extremely easy to set up and understand. Nothing complicated about it.

What's not so great: Found that directions given aren't always the shortest and most direct.

I would recommend this to a friend!
