 Rating:  - Also get a USB (mini) cable! It's a 'must'.I won't be long - enough reviews are available here, so let me just add a couple of things: you'll definitely need a USB (mini) cable with your Garmin Sat Nav, because 1) with a USB (mini) cable, you CAN recharge your Garmin Sat Nav with your PC/Mac, which is not clearly mentioned in the user's manual. Remember, your Sat Nav doesn't come with this cable or an AC adapter (you need to buy them separately!), so you can't recharge the battery until you connect it with the vehicle power cable. 2) with this cable, you can also download the latest map, update the software, and configure the Sat Nav via Garmin's website. You'll need to do all this (and it's simple) if you want draw out the maximum performance from your Sat ... Read More Rating:  - Poor mapping, useless traffic updatesVery unimpressive considering how long this GPS technology has been around, I would have expected a lot more. The unit is basic for the price, although the mapping does include the whole of Europe, apparently... I updated the mapping software to 2009 and have, to date, found major trunk route improvements which are open already (pre-November 2008) but are not on the updated 2009 maps, this could be very tricky if you didn't know the roads. Postcode searches seem to be okay, but where the postcode is unavailable or unrecognised (why, when it's a good postcode?), using the "Spell City" function, followed by the road name, has sent me to addresses several miles away from the address I've entered. On one ... Read More Rating: - Highly Recommended - Easy to use and brilliant navigationI have just purchased the Garmin Nuvi 255WT Satellite nagigation System with built in Traffic. I am really pleased with it, its clear, easy to follow, and looks great.. I was worried about which one to buy.. i was blinded by technology and just did not know which one to choose.. this is my first Sat Nav, and I have no friends who could recommend any specific one to me, so i just had to "go with it". I looked at all the reviews on here and thought that this one looked the best, I also took the free delivery option.. and the exclusive Amazon special offer with a free Leather case. The free delivery option is not for those in a hurry to recieve this item.. !! after a week of waiting.. i was getting a little impatient.. ... Read More Rating: - Better than a Tom Tom but behind Navman in every respect Bought one of these to replace my 6-year old Navman ICN 510. The 255 WT has not moved the art forward one bit. The software is clunky and the routes defy logic and are either via a motorway at all costs ( on the fastest option) or on the back roads from hell on the shortest option. No way of selecting a balance as per the Navman. Also it gives you street names for the next road but no road No so can confuse things if you are following street signs in London Tried a Tom Tom XL - it was tno better so both returned to Amazon who provided an excellent service as usual; in the end bought a Navman S80 which gives a selectable balance of A/B roads and motorways and lets you delete unmarked road options. The routing offered as a result is much ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic Satnav Garmin Nuvi 255WT - Just Buy OneThis is a great satnav. I had to drive to several seperate locations from Kent to East London to South East London to North London and back to Kent in a day. I would have got totally lost and stressed trying to rely on maps or printed directions. This unit was brilliant and was spot on and simple to use. Registered and updated to 2009 maps worked O.K but took a long time, circa 5 hours all together. Had a small problem after the map updates as the unit thought I was in Central London for some reason. However, just went into Tools and Reset / Restore to Default Settings and that corrected the problem. Would highly recommend. |
