Pros Very intuitive interface, simple yet many useful features, points of interest, clear...
Cons Slightly too wide, power plug in back. Microsoft Streets and Trips feature problematic.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Nüvi 255W GPS a little bit more than a month ago. I am pretty good with directions and maps and I like to know the entire route before I go and therefore I have never had a big interest in GPS devices.

     Me and my best friend decided to go on a fishing trip this past weekend up in the northern part of the state.

Cons QualityOptionsInterface 
Recommended it? No

The product does what it is required to do. I found it to be helpful, but my original tomtom which was stolen I thought was a far superior product. I felt it was a better route source as well as more user friendly with better construction. Read full review »
