    This review is from: Garmin nüvi 255 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) (Electronics)

    I ordered this from Amazon.com and got it as promissed. It was a refurbished unit that looked like new. I went to update the maps on the unit and the Garmin website said the unit was registered 5 months ago. I emailed and explained I purchased a refurbished unit from Amazon and it was eligible for a map update. It took a number of emails to finally authorize this free update. Beware if you purchase a refrubished unit as you will likely go through this same hassle.

    The unit itself worked as advertised and the map update took about 90 minutes, not hours as other have reported (unless you include the hassle with Garmin trying to get the update). I purchased an extended warranty as newer electronics don’t seem to be as robust as the older stuff.

    So far, so good.

    I am very happy with this factory refurbished nuvi 255. I got it for a great price. The unit looks brand new. The nuvi is very easy to use- works right out of the box with out even consulting the manual. Using it is very intuitive.

    You do need to obtain a proper USB cable to update the unit with your computer. It is an easily obtained USB- miniUSB cable that is commonly used for cameras, etc. The first map update is free. Updating the map from start to finish did take a little less than 3 hours for me.

    This review is from: Garmin nüvi 255 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) (Electronics)

    This is my first GPS device. Got it at a very reasonable price (it was a refurbished item). Got one in a very good condition and it works perfect. This device speaks street names but doesn’t have other advanced features like Bluetooth support etc, but I didn’t need them. I would like to go for a wide screen one like 255W next time due to its wide viewing area and ease of use. In nutshell, I am satisfied with this purchase.
