Summary: Wonderful but moody
Comment: I got it after extensive research. It worked wonderful for first few days but then at times it was completely lost. It would simply forget which way I was headed and would start recalculating even though I was following its precise directions! At one point I got so annoyed that I was almost on the verge of returning it but then the problem self corrected. So far working fine otherwise.

Summary: Great product. I'm happy!
Comment: This is Day 1 for me. Not much instruction comes with the unit, but it's intuitive. If you've a cellphone or a digital camera, then you should be able to figure out how this works. The voice directions are clear and easy to follow. If I don't follow its directions, the re-calculate happens within seconds.
One thing I'm concerned is that it doesn't say which side of the street the destination is on. I went to 2 POI (a grocery store and a hotel) and both times it didn't give that info. I hope it does have this feature when I use it at other places.
I wish it doesn't take so many menus to change from faster time to shortest distance and vice versa. It should be an option that's prompted for every route (like Magellan's).

Summary: Missing Maps
Comment: The Nuvi 255W worked great the first day; however, the second day it deleted all the mapping system. Garmin tech support had to connect to PC to restore mapping on unit. They are working on the problem.

Summary: garmin nuvi 205w
Comment: Bought this unit to use in rental cars when traveling. Used for 1st time in CA. Worked great- found all addresses, but wish it gave you more than one turn at a time. Would help when turns are close together.
