Should I Buy The Garmin Nuvi 255w Gps Device?

Was checking out a couple of reviews on GPS devices. Came across this one: http://thefrugalone.com/saving-money/garmin-nvi-255w-4-3-inch-widescreen-portable-gps-navigator/
I’m planning on buying this as the reviews from folks have been good and this site says this is one of Amazon’s top sellers in the GPS category.
Your thoughts?

I Am Looking To Get An Auto Gps And I’ve Narrowed It Down To Garmin Nuvi 260w And 255w. Whats The Difference?

They seem similar so I can anyone tell me which is better? Assume both are roughly the same price.
Also, although its use is primarily for auto-navigation, I’ll also be using it for light GeoCaching. Is it possible to input coordinates in either?
Thanks!

Additional Accessories Or Equipment For Garmin Nuvi 255w Gps?

I purchased this gps as a gift for my boyfriend. Other than what comes in the box with the gps, do I need to purchase anything else? I want him to open the box and be able to use it immediately. I am not necessarily looking to purchase addition items for luxury or fun… I want to be sure a that a useful add-on or electronic type component won’t be missing. Any ideas or suggestions?

Tomtom One Xl Or Garmin Nuvi 255w?

I am looking to buy a GPS and have narrowed it down to two. I think. I’ve looked at both and decided that one doesn’t have features that are better than the other. I tried to find user reviews on some sights but most don’t have too many. So what I’m asking: Does a TomTom One XL work better overall than a Garmin Nuvi 255w?
If you have any suggestions of others I should look at, here’s what I know I’m looking for:
Widescreen (I’ve seen normal screens in use and would prefer wide)
Easy-to-update data and maps, including additional POI’s (I know Garmin has this but not sure about the TomTom)
Reliable satellite coverage and quick automatic relocating of route.
A max price of $300 (Around $250 would be great)
