    Great bargain for the price. Traffic updates was hard to figure out but forums are really useful.

    Good try, but failed attempt at a good GPS

    The purpose of a GPS is primarily to get you from pont A to B. If it can't do that efficiently, I'd classify it as a "not ready of prime time" product. The 255W is just that. I installed the latest maps, and POI database and still find that I cannot rely on it to get me from here to there as the databases are out of date, or innacurate. The GPS, itself if fine, but the deal killer is that it doesn't work very well. That's a shame as TomTom runs circles around Garmin for its ability to get you from that A to B although the Garmin is easier to use. Don't but a Garmin unless you like to flip a coin as to whether the next destination will take to miles from where you want to go.

    The only thing I would have done different would be to get the one that is bluetooth capable.

    For the price it is a great deal. Traffic updates work only in some locations of the USA.

    No instructions for a 255wt. Papers included said 205w. No instructions as to all the options or how to get free lifetime traffic updates. If you know how I can get an instruction booklet I would like to know where.

    Not Happy

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

    I've used this 4-5 times now and each time it has been incorrect. It tells me I'm across the street when I'm in my driveway, it tells me to turn right on my mom's street when her house is to the left, and it continually tells me it's redirecting the route even though I'm following the directions exactly. I bought this so I wouldn't get lost as easily, but it seems to only be testing me to see if I know the right way! I would have returned it, but my husband didn't want to pay the restocking fee and told me to keep it. Oh well--at least I know if bombs aimed at me are landing by its directions, I'll be safe!

    This product is easy to use and set up. The price was good, but the product does not have newer routes to places and doesn't have some older side roads in the system.
