New unit delivered with outdated maps - Magellan technical support was unable to help -
Display screen brightness/visibility was extremely poor in daylight viewing on dashboard mount.
Would not recommend this product.

This little GPS will never get you lost. I use it more than I ever expected too. Don’t need to read a map anymore with this thing. Highly recommend this to any one that travels or just wants to find a reasturant or any points of interest.

The nuvi 255W works fine. Functionally the only slight problem is that on my unit I have to press pretty hard on the screen if I want to ‘drag’ the map. I don’t know if that’s typical or just my unit, I still rate it 5 stars.
But the most important note I have to share with people has to do with purchasing extra maps for the unit.
Since we will be travelling in the UK, I purchased the UK map for $100. You have your choice to download the map, or have it shipped on an SD card. Not thinking there was any difference I figured I’d get it quicker and save a few bucks by downloading the map. It then occurred to me that in the future I might want to upgrade the unit, and would want to keep using the extra maps I’d purchased on a different nuvi. I emailed tech support and asked if it would be possible to ‘de-activate’ the map on my current unit and then ‘activate’ it to work with a different unit. Here is the reply I got from tech support and I have to say I’m not happy, as it turns out there is a huge difference between the purchased SD card and the downloaded data. This should be explained on the website, and as far as I can see this is not documented anywhere on Garmin’s site. If it is, it sure isn’t obvious.
Here’s the email:
Dear xxx,
Thank you for contacting Garmin International. It depends on the format that you get those maps in. If you get them on a DVD or direct download, they will be locked to the device and there would not be a way to transfer them over to the new unit. However, if you got the maps on a preloaded SD card, you can put that card in any unit you want and the maps will work, since the unlock code is embedded in the card itself and is not dedicated to any specific unit.
With Best Regards,
Robert O
So my advice to anyone purchasing extra maps is to make sure you get the SD card if you want to use the data with a different unit!
