I'm still happy with my old Garmin. I updated maps 5 years ago.
I look where I drive (street signs) and occasionally use Google maps on Samsung with built in GPS, just as a backup for any missing street.
Cheers
I have just purchased a new nuvi55 and was surprised to find out when I attemted to charge up my new Nuvi 55 with the Garmin charger it informed me that I was to use the charger supplied in the box,so I changed cables and lo behold it worked.The reason I am writng this because I had not been able to get my LIFE time updates on my 255w for approx 5 months.So i updated my Garmin xpress pluged in my new cable (from the new 55 )and recieved all the updates from the past 5 months.So now my 225 is as good as before and up to date.plus I have an extra GPS .
