    Pros: It very easy to use. The maps are more are better than the TomTom's that I have owned. Do your research on TeleAtlas vs Navteq maps.

    Cons: I really can't think of anything.

    Summary: This is a good gps. Some people that have used the older Nuvis might not like the speech on the newer models. They have compressed the audio so they don't sound as rich as they used to. Other than that, its awsome. If you buy the unit, register it right away and get the latest maps. If the my.garmin.com says you have to pay for the maps, call tech support and complain that you shouldn't have to pay for a map update on a new GPS. They will add the map on your account for free. I recomend buying it from a place that has a good return policy like Radio Shack without a restocking fee. This is my second one because the other one got stolen. I notice a few changes to the newer software like the ecoDrive option.

    the accuracy is debatable . The garmin 255w we just bought mixes up the directions of left and right which is very confusing is says go left when you should go right and visa versa
