The unit itself seems to be a nice unit. I'm still trying to figure out how to look up locations. I'm still doing something wrong due to the fact that 9 times out of 10, I get an "error"message. I'm really sure that that is a "learning curve" issue. Now, when you first get the unit, you are supposed to register it and update the unit. Holy crud, that is when it went from functional, to disfunctional!!!!!!!! I even updated my older Garmin at the same time. Big mistake. It cannot find an address to a home we have owned for 20yrs and has been there for 50yrs!!! Before the "update" all was well. After the update, when you use it even for the simplest routes, better have your off road truck, camping gear, and charged cell phone handy!!! Because you are going on the drive of your life!!! I have called customer support and lodged a complaint. Customer support was very nice even though they could not fix an entire messed up download. My advice, DO NOT UPDATE until you find out that they have fixed all the "bugs" in the current nightmare!!!!Read full review

I've had several other brands and this Nuvi is easier to read and better verbal directions by far. Software was easy and straight forward, no problems with install of current updated maps and firmware. Very pleased with model compared to years of use with other major brand with comparable model/features. Did by a sun shield for it helps a lot seeing screen in daylight.

Easy to use and gets a GPS fix very quickly. Lane guidance implementation is excellent and reliable. Accompanying mount attaches reliably to windshield. Unit itself attaches also quite quickly to the mount. Main drawback is screen visibility when exposed to direct and bright sunlight. A 3rd party screen hood is a must.

I've purchased six of these units for our sports car club to map out backroads routes. Very reliable; not many bells and whistles, but hey, who needs them anyway? The BEST feature of the 2557 is the fact that map updates are FREE !! New maps are easily downloaded from the factory website, and once again, they're FREE !! Lastly, used units are available for under twenty bucks. Just download the newest maps and buy a new battery, and you can enjoy the use of a "new" old GPS receiver at a more than reasonable price.

Very simple & intuitive to use. Picks up satelites quickly. Some trouble getting suction cup to stay affixed to windshield. Love all the many features. These products have come a long way in ten years.
