Older Garmin Nuvi still works although without the bells and whistles
I bought this Garmin Nuvi to replace its twin which was broken when replacing a battery. It's an older Garmin, so none of the bells and whistles of more recent versions, but still works. We have a United Kingdom map card which we will insert in this model for use on a trip to Scotland this summer. The UK map card is up-to-date so we are hoping that it will be useful. Renting a GPS for our rental car was much more expensive and involved deposits and international mail, so updating our Garmin seemed a better option.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Garmin Nuvi 255W
This unit is no better than the TomTom, that it replaced. The TomTom unit - when new - showed my street connecting to another. There is not - and never has been - any such connection. I tried to advise TomTom. But the extra-terrestrials in charge at Tom-Tom did not have on their home page, a place marked "Fix Map Errors". I was told to look through their FAQs, hundreds of them. I never did submit the correction. Perhaps it is the case with all GPS units, that when streets are close together, the unit refreshes too slowly for driver to turn, where s/he is supposed to turn. Unlike the Tom-Tom, this unit does not give misleading indications are to the next steps, i.e., showing a distance to a point, whereat one would think a turn would be needed, but at which no turn is needed. This unit does do something that TomTom does, that seems wrong. An instruction, will be given: "Turn Left in .2 miles then turn left." The problem: there's no indication how far after the first left turn, the second left turn is to be made. If the purpose of the second instruction is to get the driver to stay on the left, after making the left turn, that's what the instruction should say: "Turn Left in .2 miles and keep left." Otherwise, the instruction needs to give the distance to the second left turn. The instruction, "Turn Left in point two miles" needs to be changed, so that it is "Turn Left in zero point two miles". The word "point" is very softly voiced, so it is not clear whether one is to turn in two-tenths of a mile or in two miles. In short, this unit is better than nothing, but is not user-friendly. It does not store conveniently frequently used destinations. It does not have a feature that allows one to choose "major roads only", as a way to avoid narrow streets, where a single vehicle can trap all behind it. With GPS units, one has to buy to learn if the unit is worthwhile, as there's no way to test one for a week or two.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Garmin 4 inch GPS - used
The main unit and the auto power supply work fine. When I ordered this I thought I was ordering a 5 inch screen unit ( it is a different catalog number) to replace one that had been misplaced. My mistake. The windshield mount was NOT advertised in the Ebay ad, so there was NO subterfuge. I also notified GARMIN that I had purchased this unit used and needed their records of the serial number updated. They were in process of contacting original owner to verify purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good value
Got this to use in Spain on an upcoming trip. It seems to have current maps for both N.America and Europe. The software is a bit older than my present Garmin Nuvi, but works adequately and the updated maps make it useful. I am happy with my purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Garmin Nuvi 255W Automotive GPS Unit Bundle w. Carrying Case Car Charger Garmin Nuvi 255W Automotive GPS
I had one of these some years ago, and it died! It was quite friendly and easy to program so I started looking for another one! Not a whole lot of "bells & whistles" but the damn thing just works! Price was right, too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

On the road again.
The Garmin is an older model, and as the previous owner mentioned, the maps are somewhat outdated. The unit itself was in great shape. My original Garmin of the same model became damaged, and needed to be replaced. This replacement, though older, was in Much better condition, and works Great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good little GPS, but a bit difficult to use
This is a good little GPS, that I purchased to replace my Magellan (which fritzed out). Responsiveness is quick and accurate, but it's very small, and there is no "lkeyboard" -- instead it's a screen of letters, in alphabetical order, which makes it challenging when you're in a hurry and trying to input a destination. But it is an older model, so taking that into account.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One little problem
The unit worked fine for the first 10 minutes but then the battery went low. So I charged it overnight, but it wouldn't hold the charge. I had to purchase a new battery and its been working fine. Maybe you should check the batteries and recharge them to see if they can hold the charge. It would be a good selling point and you could ask for more money....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
