Garmin nüvi 255 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

A FRIEND LOANED US A GARMIN 250 FOR OUR 2800 MILE VACATION. NEVER USED ANY BEFORE. WHEN WE GOT HOME I HAD TO HAVE A GARMIN FOR MY WIFE & MYSELF. READ THE REVIEWS AND SELECTED THE GARMIN 255. READ ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS TO SEE WHY PEOPLE JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE UNIT. HAVE IT MOUNTED ON THE WINDSHIELD, JUST BELOW THE MIRROR, PERFECT PLACE TO SEE IT & TOUCH THE SCREEN WHILE NOT HAVING IT IN MY FIELD OF DRIVING VISION. THE AMAZON PRICE IS AMAZING. EXCELLENT, & TIMELY DELIVERY. I EVEN USE IT IN MY HOUSE TO CHECK OUT HOW TO GET TO SOME PLACE NEW BEFORE WE GO. LOVE THE "RECALCULATING" FEATURE WHEN I WANT TO, OR NEED TO, TAKE A DIFFERENT WAY THAN SUGGESTED BY GPS. GOT TO A PLACE IN THE BACK STREETS OF MILWAUKEE THAT WE MIGHT NEVER HAVE FOUND WITHOUT IT.
AM I IMPRESSED ??? YES,YES !!!!!!!
