Accurate and handy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I travel my state frequently for work and this GPS unit really is a handy little helper. It has always been accurate in getting you to the destination, however, it sometimes routes to smaller roads to save a mile rather than to go on an easier paved or 4-lane highway. Just goes to show that we still need to use a little common sense when traveling and not just blindly follow a GPS. That is the same for all GPS units though, not a gripe about this one in general. The only thing I did not like about this unit was that the speaker crackles pretty badly when the volume is above 60%. I’m not sure if this is due to it being a refurbished unit? Other than that, this GPS is great and an awesome value!

One for the wife
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have had a Nuvi 200 for a year now and my wife wanted one for her car so I got her this 255w. Now I want to trade her. It is Definately faster in aquiring satelites and responding to vehicle movement. It was easy to use due to my past experience with the 200. It does have some neat new features like showing what the current speed limit is. But it is not always right. I like the feature that tells you where the nearest services are. Overall, it is well worth the price and you won’t be disappointed with it.

I was skeptical at first because it is refurbished but after using it for the first time, I knew it was a good buy. It works great! For a tourist here in the US who’s new at driving here, it helped a lot! I just wish I could use it in Asia as well.

nice GPS overall. I’m happy with this purchase.

Updating map is kind of slow though.

I had a TomTom before, was good but this one is better. Except for the voice it works fine. I know that this one is newer than the old on but it works.
