Does this model tell you what lane to be in on the freeway?
230711
Yes Ben, it does that and much more just buy it and you will find it becoming your best traveler companion.
230712
It will tell you to exit to the right or the left to get off of the freeway, but it does not say specifically to go into the right, left or middle lane.
230713
It does indicate (and tell you) whether to go left, right, or center lane (if there are 3 options). And yes, gives you advance warning.

Just took a 3300 mile trip and missed a few turns because of road conditions or not waiting for the tone when more than one turn was available. On Interstate highways I learned to wait to change lanes until seeing highway signs or the screen telling how many lanes would be available on the designated route. Am very pleased with the unit and especially the points of interest data base.

No it does not but....the nice lady tells ya..."Approaching, your turn on the left" about every 5 seconds until you get to the turn... :-)

as far as I can tell it does but I cant tell you how frequently. We were in Montreal CA and it advised of an alternate route before we got onto the interstate. Other than that I have not observed anything like that. However, it did not advise of a rock slide and closed section of I-77 on the NC / VA boarder. That traffic detour was in place for days.

I think the C530 speaks the names of the street that you are supposed to turn on, "right on main street". The C330 just says "turn right or keep left".

I have mine set on "City" because that is where I do most of my driving. If I leave town, I set it on "Hwy".Decide where you do the most driving and leave it set there. It should work fine...mine does.

When I was reading online before I bought my unit, one of the draw backs to this model that I had read was that you can't view the entire route when you enter in a destination.

It does tell you, but I've found that it's often wrong. My maps are even up-to-date. It's off by 5 mph. For example, if the speed limit is 65, it may say that it's 60. There is not much difference in the speed and it only occasionally happens. It turns red when you are going over the speed limit to let you know you are speeding.

I can select which kind of route. I will try and describe how based on memory as the unit is not in front of me. After putting in the destination, the screen with the big "GO" appears. If one waits a couple of extra seconds, an icon appears in the very lowest, right- hand corner. Select that icon. The screen comes up with the list of options by words, fastest, most freeways, fewest freeways, etc. it takes the unit a few more seconds to populate each route with the time required. Then, again, select the icon on the bottom, can not recall ig right hand, or center, but it looks like a map. That takes you to a map with the three options displayed. Hard to tell, sometimes which route each takes. Good luck. I can select which kind of route. I will try and describe how based on memory as the unit is not in front of me.

The C340 has "full" spoken directions as well. It will read the street names and exit numbers to you.The C330 only tells you to "turn left" and so on, although it does display the names/exits at the top.

I would go to the vehicle selection icon and type in your vehicle info to find out if it does or not.

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.

The 255 has a better processor, so it diplays information quicker and hold the sattellite signal much better. It also shows the speed limit of the road you are on. Other than that, there is nothing to speak of.

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

Yes it does but after you slow down going through a small town and hit resume it keeps telling you that you're exceeding the speed limit. I liked it at first as it got to through the twin cities without getting me lost but it cannot be updated and the speed reading isn't always right.
