Very nice! Easy to use, took a while to update maps, get icons, etc, but that's a one-time (rare) thing. Question: She had/has an old ique 3600 and wondering of way to transfer waypoints? Have started looking into Even Lund's pdtogpx and then using mapsource? So far pdtogpx does not like the fields/format of the csv file exported from Palm Desktop, so can't convert to gpx yet. Does Garmin have anything to facilitate these transfers? Would be a big help. Thanks for the forum. Very helpful. Mike Just got a nuvi 285wt for my wife. Very nice!

You'll get all the 255W's features with it. You might also want to search for the 265W or 265WT. It's also worth checking prices on the nuvi 1300 or 1350.
