Navigate the United States and Canada with ease with this GPS that features free lifetime traffic updates, up to 1,000 waypoints and customizable points of interest for easy route planning. The "Where Am I?" emergency locator and travel assistant tools provide additional support.

The purpose of a GPS is primarily to get you from pont A to B. If it can't do that efficiently, I'd classify it as a "not ready of prime time" product. The 255W is just that.
I installed the latest maps, and POI database and still find that I cannot rely on it to get me from here to there as the databases are out of date, or innacurate.
The GPS, itself if fine, but the deal killer is that it doesn't work very well. That's a shame as TomTom runs circles around Garmin for its ability to get you from that A to B although the Garmin is easier to use.
Don't but a Garmin unless you like to flip a coin as to whether the next destination will take to miles from where you want to go.
What's great about it: Mount, feature set
What's not so great: Old map and poiint of interest database
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
