Hi all,

I'm in the market for a budget Sat Nav. Anyone had any experience with this one - http://ubuyhardware.com/p~p-719613444~b-11210000~Garmin-Nuvi-255W-Auto--Road-GPS.aspx ? Are Garmin reputable?

Thanks!

I really like my Garmin nüvi 755T's wireless FM transmitter that I use to listen to podcasts, (lots of room for more Toothless) MP3s and audio books through my vehicle's stereo. Nice enough I bought one for each my children.

For hiking or for your car?

I have the Garmin Nuvi 750, I've been using it for over a year now and it has not gotten me lost yet and I live in a mountain and wilderness area. It does not speak the street names like it's supposed to but I may not have set it up right. In terms of accuracy though, it has been perfect. Garmin is a reputable company.
