Returning Garmin 255wt - is it just me?
on October 24, 2009
Posted by: axnjport
from nj
My first GPS - are my expectations too high?
I have to return this unit, because it gives very strange directions. Have updated the SW under directions from Garmin support.
Examples: under "fastest" settings it routes me along a suburban road with lights and a draw-bridge!!! instead of the Garden State parkway (NJ). Nearly missed a flight when on the way to JFK from NJ it told my son to pull off the the freeway approaching Verazano bridge and routed him through suburbs for 40 minutes or so. Same again on southbound NJ Turnpike, with about 20 miles of clear freeway ahead told me get off the freeway. (I did not - totally suspicious of any directions from the unit by then.
Cannot tell freeways with with express and local lanes, got totally lost on rt78 west of Newark NJ until I pulled off at my exit, then it recovered.
Not acceptable to me. It's a shame because generally the unit gets such good reviews from everybody else. Are the bad reviews not published? Do people who give up - like me - not bother to write?
What's great about it: Nice unit
What's not so great: Strange directions
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
