Since this is my first GPS,i have nothing to compare it to,but with such self explanitory screens,in just a few minutes i had it figured out. I bought this unit,for a trip from Illinois,to Flordia,just so i wouldn't have to keep looking at a map. The directions were perfect,i knew exactly how far my next turn was,and what lane i needed to be in,even estimated time of arrival,to my next destination. The posted speed,and my actual speed feature was very helpfull,and how quick it registered was amazing. I know the Garmin 255wt will be with me any time i travel,the best investment i've made in a long time. Also, the many other features it has,once you have arrived at your destination,will help you find just about anything you can think of. Totally blew me away,with the amount of info there is,at your fingertips.
What's great about it: so easy to use
What's not so great: at times the routing could be better
