Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect GPS if you can live without the seldom used "bells & whistles" Comment: October '08,purchased the Garmin 255W for directions.....do not need it for music, photos, bluetooth. It exceeded my expectations. I recommend this GPS to anyone who can live without "bells & whistles. Customer Rating: Summary: VERY IMPRESSED!!! Comment: This is our first gps system, so I don't have any to compare it with. I went with the 255W because of the high reviews it received from other buyers, and also from ConsumerReports. We're VERY pleased with our choice. We've used it several times, and each time we're simply amazed! We like how it tells you the next turn in advance (the actually street name), as well as visually showing where you're at. If by chance, you miss a turn, it quickly re-calculates and points you in the right direction. It's very easy to program and 'user friendly'. We're able to move it to ANY vehicle we're currently using, because it is portable. I strongly suggest purchasing the friction stand (it's like a weighted bean bag) that sits securely on the dash, instead of using the windshield mount. We didn't want to advertise that we had a gps system in the car, plus we wanted to move it to any vehicle we were having to use. Also, suggest getting a case for the screen, which is not included. I chose a hard type of case that zippered the screen in, as I didn't want the possibility of it sliding out. When we reach our destination, we simply put everything in a small tote bag and lock it in the trunk of the car. This is a godsend for me, as I still don't know my way around the area that I've moved to. Since my 'sense of direction' is really poor, this little gadget has already paid for itself! Customer Rating: Summary: Happy with this GPS Comment: After getting burned with online mapping and direction sites we bought this Garmin GPS system. It was tough to decide which brand to buy but Garmin seemed to be the top seller. Amazon had the best price for this model which I chose for its ability to adjust the directions if you reroute, text to speech feature and 4.3 inch wide screen. We've used it on 2 long trip and some local travel and found only minor quirks when searching for points of interest. Some local businesses were not in the system. Overall we are very happy with this purchase after about one month of ownership. Customer Rating: Summary: a perfect gift Comment: I bought this gps as a birthday gift for my husband. It's just perfect. Up and talking with a quick start guide, "Samantha" has directed us flawlessly to lacrosse tournaments, a party in the city, and a local restaurant. Remember to take it out of the dash mount and stow away when parked (big theft item). Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous GPS Comment: My husband and I cannot imagine now to go anywhere without our Garmin, both in our city or out of town travel. Takes the stress out of it! This GPS is easy to follow, to program, and the spoken instructions are clear and precise. The 4.3-Inch widescreen is so easy on the eye, and even with my poor eyesight I can see it clearly as it sets on the dashboard. We also bought the friction pad and it stays firmly in place and yet you can put it away or take it with you with no effort. On our last long trip, we were able to find restaurants and coffee shops along the way thanks to the Points of Interest feature. The only thing we wonder about is why it took us so long to buy one!!
