    Drastically improved my driving experience! I like the talking feature of this model so I don't have to watch the screen when I'm driving (as with some of the other models). One thing I don't like is, every time I turn on the unit, I have accept an "agreement" not to enter information while driving. I think you should be able to agree once and not have to agree every time it turns on.

    Nice - but a Huge Charge Cord

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This unit is my 3rd and it works better than any yet, but the cord is very thick and has a large plastic converter at the Unit end. Not the easiest to conceal or store.

    Good Value for the Money

    This GPS does everything that I need it to do. I wish it would tell how many miles more to go instead of your ETA. I also wasn't overly thrilled with the options for the voices. I like that you can store several favorite places. The maps are up to date and easy to read.

    Great Device

    First the GPS part is great with all the usual features accessible in a user friendly format - whether you need gas or an emergency donut shop . The fact that it doubles as a digital photo frame us a cool feature. The live free traffic reporting is very helpful and the eco reports rating your acceleration - deacceleration and gas costs per trip are kind of a trip. I like it.

    Works fine without any issues

    The only flip side if I may call it so is that in some instances (not all) the voice that recommends a turn calls it out too close to the turn making it a little dangerous. But there were very few instances of this. And if you can actually also look at your GPS when you drive, you got nothing to worry about it. It calls out the distance precisely and you should be fine.

    Great value for the price

    I got my Garmin on sale just before Christmas, it was a great value for the price. It is user friendly. It says the street names and gives you enough time to change lanes before you have to make your turn. It easily sticks to my windshield, unlike similar products.

    Very Good GPS

    This GPS unit is replacing an older unit of a different brand that was ok, but had some issues... Overall the Garmin is all good, and the online acess and software is compatible with apple, so that is a plus for me, no complaints as of yet, I'll keep you posted!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I BOUGHT THE GARMIN FOR MY HUSBAND FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT HE ALSO RECEIVED A SMALLER ONE FROM HIS DAUGHTER. I KEPT THE ONE I BOUGHT AND PUT IT IN MY CAR. LOVE IT ! USED IT THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WHEN OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T GET LOST ONCE. THE SPEAKING IS VERY SHARP AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. IT GIVES ME CONFIDENCE WHEN I AM NOT SURE WHERE I AM GOING OR HOW TO GET THERE.

    Great GPS

    This is all you should need for any trip in your car. The bells and whistles on some of the other GPS units are nice, but you don't need them. The NUVI 255WT is the 2nd one I have bought. I now have one in each vehicle. I haven't figured out the traffic part yet. Maybe I don't need it. Maybe it will come in handy when travelling through a bigger city.
