|

I am in the process of replacing my i3 and I had originally decided on a Nuvi 250W (I like the look of the W screen) but I see that the 255W is getting good reviews, particularly in getting a satellite fix and also smoother map movements
but I now see there is a 265W on the horizon and it appears to be a 255W with TTS, which seems to be an entirely new can of worms.
Is the TTS feature the only difference (in Europe) between the 255W and the 265W?
It appears that Garmin rushed the TTS feature, has it matured/improved at all? |

You can see the comparison on Garmins website here
It looks like the 265WT has Bluetooth hands free and TTS but the 255WT doesn't.

I've never had a problem with it so far... |

Thanks for the response(s)
I was looking for independant confirmation really, I had read somewhere that Garmin had claimed TTS on another device when in fact it only applied to the US model, possibly the it was 255W.
Thanks |

That table is taken from the UK page. The US page doesn't list those model numbers. |
