The Garmin nuvi 255W has a lousy on/off switch. I never could figure out how it worked. When you read the instructions it says to slide it left to turn it on and also slides it left to turn off but supposedly a little bit further left to get it completely off (I guess)?? I think this is why it went defective. I finally got it turned off and I never could get it to come back on again so I returned it as defective. I won’t buy this type of gps if it has this type of on/ off switch.

This is a great entry level GPS. I love the wide screen- Don’t settle for a smaller one. Text-to-Speech is outstanding. All the accessories work well. Downloading map updates took a bit, but went smooth. You can download different avatars for your maps. Trip features are outstanding including gas cost. Where am I feature is fantastic. The unit finds the sattelite quickly and recalculates in a second! Touch screen is responsive. Very satisfied for a first GPS purchase.

this GPS is extremely user friendly and a bundle purchase gives a lot of flexibility. Anyway, should have come with an updated maps rather than with a free option to update! This 30 days free update opportunity could be easily overlooked…
