The 255WT is a great value and is reasonably intuitive. I just have had it 24 hours but have used it several times and it has been extremely accurate and chose routes that made sense to me. The default voice is clear, volume is terrific and reminders are good. I researched GPS units for a week and considered several Garmin models. My car has Bluetooth built in so I did not need to purchase that option. The 255WT seemed to be the best value and have the capabilities that I wanted. I was right! It acquires satellite signals instantly. Very impressive. So far, so good!
What's great about it: Excellent startup; extremely accurate; voice very clear; great screen
What's not so great: Map update is very time consuming but worth it
