Stephen E. Ebbing (usa)
I love it! We used it on vacation and never got lost. the touch screen along with the features was easy to use.
 I was very unimpressed with this gps August 23, 2010
H. Aronovitch (Passaic, NJ USA)
I had this gps for only a few months, used only a few times and it already broke. the screen freezes on me and takes a few days till it will go back to working use. this is not what i expected when i was looking into garmin gps because i heard they're supposed to be top of the line. oh well.
excellent GPS at an affordable price! August 22, 2010
Freddy (Heredia, CR)
This GPS is excellent places you exactly where you want to go, we recalculated if you make an error, it is generally very good, I recommend
Gets you where you want to go! August 22, 2010
Cynthia M. Cross (Aurora, CO, US)
We are the 5th in the family to get one, easy to use an accurate and very affordable.
Great little gps August 21, 2010
M. Richards
This 255 Nuvi replaced my 260 Nuvi mainly to get the new updated map and POI's. It is a nice little gps that can be slipped into my shirt pocket when I leave the vehicle and used when sight seeing walking, especially to find your way back to vehicle. Hint: I glued a small grey patch of Velcro (loop-the soft side) onto the vehicle dash which matches dash color and the matching Velcro patch (hook) onto the back of the gps. This makes for easy mounting and removal and keeps prying eyes from noticing you may have a gps in vehicle.
