I bought this to replace my (stolen) 1.5 year old gps (not Garmin). I found out that Garmin (or atleast this 255WT model) didn't have (minor) features that my old gps has. Features like "least use of freeways" and be able to input new location/address while moving (passenger should be able to do it) without going to "safe mode(?)". It kept on freezing (when it recalculates)! That was it for me, after 2.5 days in my car, I returned it and went with the old brand.
What's great about it: Speaks loud and clear (street names and turns). Traffic updates
