Works for me
We got this one because of reviews on Overstock and other sources. It was the right price for the features. I really wanted to have one that named the streets - which we found is important. We messed around with trying the various voice options and forgot to put it back on the TTL text to language option - which includes naming of the streets. It makes a difference in response time to have street names called out when it comes time to turn. Otherwise it says, "in 1/8th of a mile turn right" Well I'm not a good gauge of distance and without the TTL I was turning sooner than I was suppose to. Once I realized the TTL wasn't turned on we had no more driving errors. The voice is loud enough and clear enough. I think those who say otherwise might have cars that have a lot of internal road noise on the inside of their vehicle. I also bought the latch device that hooks on to the air vents instead of the window - love it. Bought two - one to travel with and one to keep in my car. I found that my iPhone connection cords can be used to connect the GPS to the computer to update it. So all is good. I recommend it.

GARMIN GPS
I PURCHASED THE GARMIN 255 AND I LOVE IT. I NEEDED IT FOR A TRIP TO NORTH CAROLINA AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. ESPECIALLY COMING HOME THRU WASHINGTON D.C. I COULD HAVE NEVER DONE IT WITHOUT THE GARMIN. I EVEN FOUND THE GARMIN FOR A CHEAPER PRICE THAN OVERSTOCK.COM DUE TO A GRAND OPENING. OVERSTOCK.COM MATCHED THE PRICE WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL!! THANK YOU OVERSTOCK.COM

Garmin for the win!
I've used every brand of GPS on the market that I can think of, and have always had problems with all of them one way or another (wrong location, POI not where GPS says it is, etc.). The first GPS I used was a Garmin and I hated it, so I tried other stuff. That was about 3 years ago. Since trying other company's devices, I've decided to give Garmin another shot, and I tell you I am not let down with this device. Very accurate directions, cool features like the Eco-Drive Challenge (a fun little game you can play with yourself while driving long distances alone.... keeps me busy), allows me to enter current gas prices and tells me on average what I spend on gas per trip and total since I got the GPS. Also has built-in traffic which with the other devices they wanted me to pay for. And the one thing the Garmin has that no other device I've used has is the trip statistics (or whatever they call them). Tells your average speed, miles traveled, time moving/stopped, etc. You can reset for every trip or do like I do and let it go for the life of the unit. It's interesting to see how far you've gone and how much gas you've spent. As far as a GPS, this device is a win. And with the extra features built-in since I last used a Garmin, it puts it over the top. Plus the window holder works, which is more than I can say for other units. Great purchase! Would definitely recommend and buy Garmin again.

just what i needed
i am extremely directionality challenged. n then past i had owned a navigator that simply told me to turn onto streets without giving the name of the street and without fair warning. this NUVI 255W does it all...... telling you when to turn plenty in advance and giving the exact name of the street or highway. i feel more confident and less stressed when venturing out on the roads. thanks!!!

Amazing!!
I had spent the last year tring to find the Right gps for me! yes a year is a long time but im very fickle! i did however determin through my research that the Garmin makes the best gps for the amount of money so most of my year was spent searching for the perfect Garmin for me! and by golly i think i found it!!!! I use to have onstar roadside assistance only because i would get lost weekly in fact i think they just got use to me calling and would send bets around on how soon it would be before i would call again! before each trip even one as simple as going to the store i would have panic attacks because i knew i would get lost at least once... onstar worked for the most part but its kind of embarrassing to have to stay on the phone and get step by step instructions to my location. I can proudly say with Garmin Nuvi 255W i have not got lost once! and with the extremely user friendly touch screen and fun voices you can download it makes driving a lot less stressful and fun! I would suggest this product to anyone and everyone even to those who were given a good sense of direction... i mean you cant tell me you have NEVER taken a wrong turn or two :)

Great GPS!
Love this Garmin! It's easy to use. We rely on it when going out of town. I highly recommend it.

go garmin
The Garmin is a great tool. It worked very well for everything that we tried and had many more features then I originally thought that it had. The only draw back that we found - My husband is hard of hearing and it was difficult for him to hear that female voice. We changed to the male voice and this seemed to help. He would like to have a deeper male voice for better quality.
