Has Anyone Purchased A Garmin Nuvi 255 Gps?
I am looking for a good GPS under $200, is this a good one?

The vendor that sells the update will provide the unlock. Without knowing which product (GPS, City Nav vs. City NT, Topo, which country, etc.) it’s impossible to give part numbers, but Amazon often has better prices than Garmin’s own site.
Hi I got one and using it. I bought that from Taipei for NTD 8,500 (around USD 150) last Dec’07 with preloaded Taiwan Maps and POIs. Initially, I it was useless when I brought the unit to the Philippines, as there are no commercial Garmin maps available for PH to this date. But as I checked with free customised maps in various forums, I was able to upload (via SendMap) a map and used it locally (I use Luzon road map, courtesy of www.waypoints.ph). The routing is cool!, the voice prompt is fine (ie. US English, UK English, CN-Mandarin, CN-Fookien, etc.).
Your second Question:
- Nuvi is a GPS equipment, which you need not pay anything (except for the unit of course). unlike satelite phones, NUVI is free!!! as long as it still works fine! That means ABSOLUTELY NO SERVICE FEE.!!!
but once GARMIN has decided to market its own version of Philippine Road Map, then it would be costly!! ie. USD200 for just a map in SD card……
If you are contemplating to get nuvi 200, it works fine (although contains basic functionality ie. jpeg viewer, calculator etc.) other high end nuvis have bluetooth capability, mp3 player, or video adapter (i think)…
I would like to use the latest software free if possible???
Dose anyone know the e-mail address for Garmin contact support? Been on the website and can not find one, thanks.
I would pick Garmin over Magellan. Tom tom over Garmin.
you know “give a give a give a give a garmin” the song with that tune to it.
And Why it would give me the wrong route back home. It took me away 0f my destination for two hrs. instead of taking me east it took me west?
I love the damn thing and take it with me even if I don’t need it for directions.
or maybe download them from a site?
i checked the garmin site already but i couldn’t find anything.
by audio files i mean the speech system of course.
everything else works tho.
