Customer Rating: 
Summary: Nice unit with decent features. Good battery life.
Comment: I bought the 255 for travels around the Northeast and California. It has served me well thus far. Start up time is quick, TTS is very useful, and the screen brightness is excellent.
Con: The speaker is tinny and fills with some static at high volumes. My friends older garmin 200 series did not have this issue.
This is a short review but theres not need to go into details. Its a fine unit and gets me to where I want to go accurately. Pay the extra for TTS, it'll come in handy.

Summary: Lacks features compared to Tom Tom
Comment: This is the lowest priced unit that also calls out street names but the voice is too animated although speaker is pretty good.
While using the Tom Tom you could easily remove parts of the route that you knew had construction or congestion and it would recalculate your route. This feature has been in the Tom Tom since the GO came out like 4 years ago.
Garmin still lacks that feature, they call it Detour in which you have no control at all and the unit decides your alternate route. I know it has the FM traffic update but I am not buying a subscription service for that.
I think I will stick to Tom Tom it offers better features for the same money.

Summary: nuvi 255
Comment: good unit easy to use fairly quick at picking up satellites some spoken commands are incorrect ( turn right ) when I should have turned (left ) but all in all gets you to the destination with no problems
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great GPS
Comment: This is the first GPS we have owned. I read so many reviews just to be sure I got it right. The one feature everyone stressed was the text to speech technology and I'm so glad I listened. We've only used it a couple of times, but we're very pleased.

Comment: I purchased the GPS as a birthday gift for my 20 year old daughter. My daughter has used the GPS several times and has told me it's the best. I would highly recommend the Garmin Nuvi 255 GPS.
