#Garmin nuvi 255w problems update#

Since trying other company's devices, I've decided to give Garmin another shot, and I tell you I am not let down with this device.

The first GPS I used was a Garmin and I hated it, so I tried other stuff. I've used every brand of GPS on the market that I can think of, and have always had problems with all of them one way or another (wrong location, POI not where GPS says it is, etc.).

I found that my iPhone connection cords can be used to connect the GPS to the computer to update it. Bought two - one to travel with and one to keep in my car. I also bought the latch device that hooks on to the air vents instead of the window - love it. I think those who say otherwise might have cars that have a lot of internal road noise on the inside of their vehicle. The voice is loud enough and clear enough. Once I realized the TTL wasn't turned on we had no more driving errors. Otherwise it says, 'in 1/8th of a mile turn right' Well I'm not a good gauge of distance and without the TTL I was turning sooner than I was suppose to. It makes a difference in response time to have street names called out when it comes time to turn. We messed around with trying the various voice options and forgot to put it back on the TTL text to language option - which includes naming of the streets. I really wanted to have one that named the streets - which we found is important. We got this one because of reviews on Overstock and other sources.
