This is our first gps. Took a 1k trip with it right out of the box. While the wife drove I played with it. 2 hours out I was easily using all the features it had to offer. Avg speed, fuel economy, highest speed reached, arrival time, miles traveled and miles to go,found our over nite accomodations, etc. etc., and never made a wrong turn. Try it youll like it!
Overall a good GPS unit

To start with it is a Garmin which produce some of the best and most innovative Aviation GPS units you know this one will be rock solid and it is!
I live in the country and work in the city and I can tell you it is a good performer with top notch maps. The predicted arrival times are very accurate. The routes selected are very good and it adaps quickly to detours and driving errors.
The only nits I can find are the addresses in the country can be off by 250 meters, it is really good in the city. Lots of options to set to setup the unit if you want to customize it.
I would buy it again if it got stolen.
Great Deal

Had the opportunity to use this model on a recent hunting trip. Purchased my own when I got back. Simple to use, lots of eatures and a great deal. Best of all, I ordered it at noon and it arrived the next day!

I can't say enough about the 255. This is my second GPS. The first one is still working but my lady ''borrowed'' it. I would give it five stars except that accuracy when walking in the forest jumps around from set points between 3 to 20ft. No problems driving. Suggest purchasing the power cable that comes with the lifetime traffic service. It is a nice feature to be notified of traffic in the city and given alternate routes.
Good mix of functionality and low cost

It doesn't Bluetooth or play MP3's, so if you're looking for straight-up navigation this is the right one for you. I recently moved to a new city and this unit has been enormously helpful - aside from telling me where I am, it has a very large POI database. Hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, and besides telling you how to get there it also has the business phone number. Aside from a couple of minor mapping errors I am completely satisfied with this device and won't leave home without it!

Screen is bright and easy to read. Good value. Locate and re-calculate signal quickly when a wrong turn is made. Updating the pre-loaded maps where a little frustrating. Would not update over a wireless network.

Good routing and esay to use. The internet updates can be time consuming (even wih DSL), but is much better than the prior generation machines where a CD needed to mailed

The GPS worked great right out of the box. It is a big help for our teenage drivers as they drive to tournaments, etc.
I did take advantage of the free update for the system maps and was a bit disappointed that some new local gas stations and stores (2 or 3 years old) were not in the update.
