| We have a Garmin nuvi200...we bought it about 2 years ago. I like it because it's easy to use and it lets you know in plenty of advance when you need to turn or take an exit ramp so you can get in the right lane. I also like it because I don't get yelled at for not reading the map the right way! lol! Just set it so the voice talks to you and you're ready to go...of course, it will scare the bejeebees out of you if it's been quiet for a while and then in the dark quiet of night driving you hear this little voice say...in 1 mile keep right. Yah, that little sentence can be a scary one if you're not expecting it! |

| Ours is a couple of years old so the 255 is probably an upgraded version of the nuvi 200. Let me give you a tiny piece of advice too...don't ever leave the Garmin or any part of it in your car. We left the cradle attached to the dash one night and our truck got broke into...they knew we had a Garmin...they ransacked our truck and took it. Yah, I know...I should have taken it inside but I just didn't think about it that night. Anyway, the police didn't think it was enough to look into and the pawn shops swore they didn't take them in because they knew most of them were stolen...gee...I wonder where all the GPS in their cases came from then Oh yah...maybe they bought them on eBay |

| Garmin nüvi 755/755T 4.3 Inch Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic Love this! Got it for Christmas and have used it multiple times already for travel. I wanted to be able to plot multiple stop points in my route and the 755 allows this.
