Yes, it will come with the map, but not lifetime update. All wires and harnesses, GPS antenna are included, and it plug and play, no need to cut wires.

No but you can purchase map upgrades ONE TIME from Garmin that are good for the life of the Unit. It does come with lifetime traffic though.

Yes it has gps but some of the functions require wifi such as directions, but this helped out drastically in street navagation in Europe. It comes with a European charger though

The Gps is very good. I'm not sure how to answer your questions other than it seems to work great and kowm how hug it is at all time.

It comes with the GPS, USB cable to hook to computer, car/RV charger, wall charger, and directions. Hope that help. We are on the road with it now....it has been good....just a few hiccups, but no more than most GPS systems.

Hi G4M, it comes with a mount, power supply, 2 antennas and instructions (like the one you see on the picture that you screw on to). Hope that helps...

Well, it is the updated model...with the features mentioned, plus speed limits for major roads and an indication if you are exceeding it. The maps aren't up to date (at least on mine ordered in Oct. 2012) If you have a memory card that fits the unit you can upload new maps. I had to buy one. I found that (once I had the memory card) the first download of maps took less than an hour when I used the 800 number--unlike the 4 to 5 hours mentioned on line. (I had registered the GPS online.)

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

It comes with both Lifetime Maps and Lifetime Traffic. Be advised that if you are using Windows XP Media Center Edition, the updated will not download and install. Any later Windows version works just fine. Garmin customer support was extremely helpful in making the Map update go smoothly.

GPS antenna is included in the package. Do not need to buy anything. Thanks

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

The GPS works okay. They charge ~$30 for updates that are not very current. The last update did not include a street in my neighborhood that was built 2 years ago.

If it's new and no one has stripped the accessories out, it should have all of the following, elescopic antenna, Handle bracket, DIN sleeve, Owner's manual DC cable, and AC power supply. It does not come with the programming cable. Here's a hint on that. The newer version goes for $40.00, but if you ask at Radio Shack, they might have the older 20-047 cable, which is functionally identical. Last I heard, they were clearing them out for $10.00, but they might not have them any longer.

I was told that all update and downloads could be done by connecting the GPS to your computer. The Unit I purchased I've sent back. It is not user friendly and there were many issues with it, such as brightness, Bluetooth pairing, the on/off switch. My opinion is that by trying to save money you get what you pay for. Buy a better know brand you'll be happier.

It comes with gps antena. You will need the proper audio wire harness for your car if you do not get radio equipment already design for it.

I got it with the manual, usb cable and carabiner. That is what is supposed to be in the box, No batteries, temp sensor, car charger. I think in the GPSMAP 62 (without the S) the carabiner is replaced with the wrist strap.

No, and there are plenty of other reasons not to purchase this unit. In the six months I've had mine, I've had to reset it back to factory defaults three times to restore connectivity to the GPS antenna.
