Easy to use, Intuitive, but tradeoffs may annoy some power-users.

Pros: Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.
Cons: Sometimes questionable routing, short battery life, multiple and possibly confusing software required for advanced features.
The Bottom Line: An easy to use model for the average driver who wants basic navigation from point A to point B, yet offers a few power-user features if you so desire.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: Before I begin writing this review, I'd like you to know that I'm not really tech savvy.  If you're looking for a detailed review of the specifications and special features that the Garmin Nuvi 255W has to offer, this is not the review for...
