I contacted Akron to see if the GN-097 was compatible with the Nuvi 255W- Here is the response: Bob, Thank you for contacting us with your inquiry. It just so happens that I own a Garmin Nuvi 255W myself, and I can personally confirm that it works with that mount. However, you have to be sure that you have the ball joint adapter that came with the unit, or purchase one separately. The adapter you would need, if you don't already have one, is the GN-BKT200. You can easily find it on Amazon as well! I hope that helps! Regards, Bryan D.

I was able to get a hold of Amazon support by phone today. I was told the Nuvi 350 units being shipped have NT 2008 map in it. I asked about the v.5 mentioned on Amazon website and he did not know about that. He would check and have it corrected. According to him, Garmin will start shipping units with 2009 map in about a month, starting with the 200 series, 300's, and so on. Based on this, I plan to buy one now even with 2008 map. Again, he could not confirm about free update from Garmin. If I can get a free update, that's great. If not, I'm still happy since price had come down significantly

I don't know why people responded that there is voice recognition with the Nuvi 2557. I purchased because they said it did but it definitely NOES NOT HAVE VOICE RECOGNITION. I checked on the garmin site just to make sure and it confirms under "features and benefits" that there is no voice activated navigation. Now I need to decide if I'll keep this version. Wish amazon checked these answers as there were 6 answers saying yes, I thought it was accurate.

As far as I can tell, GTM 25 will not work for nuvi 2595 LMT but you can try a newer model.

I have a nuvi 260w and it worked out fine for me. The cable is a bit thinner than the original, but it seems to be strong enough.

The 3597LMTHD is the 2013 model and no more current models have been released in this line. As far as saying is it the latest and most complete, the answer depends on what functions you want in your GPS. The only way to answer your question is for you to go to the Garmin website, look at the current models and decide which functions, screen size, etc. are important to you. The model that fits your needs is the "best" one.

Can you use the Nuvi 255W in Europe? The product description implies you can, but I can't find anything that says how to do it.

I just bought 255w at Amazon but it shipped by another vendor and I just found out It did not have a new map version.How do I update the map(package did not have USB cable and where can I find the Usb cable) I thought If I buy it from Amazon web site all GPS should go with new map.I'm confuse.I need some experts to help me out. Thanks,

Yes, this is v. 2.2.4, however when you order you will probably get a older version, but Garmin will auto update it as they do with MapSource and BaseCamp and other software.....a very good package for boaters......wc

I just bought the Garmin 255 and found out it has no maps downloaded.I thought it would be ready to go out of the box.It was a re-furbished unit,but I was under the impression it had everything ready for business.Was I wrong in my assumption?silverado_03

Don't know about the 285W, but it works with both my Nuvi 255W and Nuvi 260

I bought the C550 from Amazon a week and a half ago. It came loaded with 2008 map software. I returned it for the nuvi 650, though, as I found the traffic and bluetooth features unnecessary, and liked the wide-screen of the nuvis better.

I have a 255, 255w's smaller brother with identical features, and have been using it for over a year. I love it, but once you get your free map update online, you have to buy future updates fron Garmin at hefty prices. It is cheaper to buy a new unit than pay for lifetime updates($119). A onetime update is @ $60. Though I love my 255, it's a pretty stiff toll. I'm thinking of trying something different, because there has been some new road construction near me, and my current maps don't always suit.

I just discovered this problem on my nuvi 360. Do you have a copy of version 2.4 you can e-mail me? I would appreciate that very much.Roy

I am using the 2013 version. It updates the road conditions each time I use it on "Road Planning." I have used previous versions of 2000, 2006 and 2009. I am using the 2013 version on the desk top and the 2013 version with the GPS receiver on the laptop.

Not my Nuvi 2557 ... it rocks and slides a bit. I am going to try and add another friction pad to the arms that is thicker, that should do the trick. Now to find something like that...

No new maps yet. You've got Navteq 2008a maps.Software updates: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&SR;=nav:service_support:electronics:drivers_software:esup&ref;=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.phpSelect your country and type in NV-U44 in "Option 1". If you need to update your software, follow the instructions, which also tell you to install the nav-u Tool software. The whole operation will take about an hour, because the update does a backup.
