We purchased this on Amazon.
My husband is very pleased with it.
He uses it around town and it will be real handy for him when we go on a trip.
He always wanted a GPS, we knew nothing about them but he is happy that we chose this one. -- Garmin 255W
I RECENTLY ORDERED A GPS GARMIN 255W DEVICE ABOUT A MONTH AGO (WITH AMAZON). IT WAS ONE OF MY WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCES EVER. I WAS NOT SHIPPED THE CORRECT PRODUCT "TWICE." THIS WAS JUST AWFUL AND RIDICULOUS. I'M SURE EVERYONE IS WONDERING HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED WITH SUCH A WELL-KNOWN CORPORATION???? I GOT IN TOUCH WITH A FEW SERVICE REPS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE AN EXPLANATION EITHER ON WHY I WAS SHIPPED WRONG PRODUCTS TWICE. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME ASSURANCE FOR ME OR HAVE SOME KIND OF REASON TO WHY THIS HAD OCCURRED. I RECEIVED NONE AND IT SEEMS THEY HAD NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IN HELPING MAKE SURE I RECEIVED THE CORRECT PRODUCT I HAD ORIGINALLY ORDERED. I NEVER RECEIVED MY GPS UNIT AND REQUESTED FOR A REFUND. I DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS BUT I KNOW NEXT TIME I ORDER WITH AMAZON I WILL THINK MORE THAN TWICE. ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED. I GUARANTEE YOU. -- WRONG ITEM TWICE
I read thru the Amazon customer reviews on this item several times before deciding to order it. Had a very bad experience a few years ago with a TomTom that found its way into a dumpster. I figured I'd chance it once more as we really need it for out of state trips that are coming up very shortly.
I read thru the manual (what a joke !!) and then charged it with the usb cord I had. Once it was charged. I went on line and downloaded the latest map (2010) and updates. This took less than an hour with no problems. Today I tested it in the car to go to a local restaurant and at different times I would get off the route on purpose and the unit recalculated and got me back on route several times. It passed my test with flying colors (hope it wasnt a fluke)and am satisfied with all its features. You can also view the video on the Amazon page for this item. It will really help if your a newbie. Also the Garmin website has all the info you'll need for operating it.
-- Worth Every Penny
Several friends had suggested the Garmin nuvi 255W. They said the GPS was user-friendly and lived up to its billing. I didn't want anything that looked like an airplane instrument panel, I just wanted something to get me where I wanted to go and get me back home. It certainly has done that. It is just right for me - minimal bells and whistles, easy to use and a voice I can understand. I also bought a hard case, accessory chargers and a FRICTION MOUNT - all 4 for less than $200.00. The FRICTION MOUNT is great and works just like the old bean-bag ash trays (you will have to be 'of a certain age' for this statement to mean anything). The hardest part for me was figuring out you have to have a part that comes with the origrinal GPS (the tray) to make it work. The FRICTION MOUNT is 2 pieces - the base and the ball hook. You have to have a tray that fits your GPS to make it work. Somehow this needs to be made easier or explained VERY CLEARLY on the packaging of the FRICTION MOUNT. -- Great buy and great product!
