I drive a motor home and worry about the roads selected for me sometimes as v. narrow roads can be a problem.
Are the downloads on offer any good ? I have nuvi 255W. Would appreciatwe some comments as to which is best and why. |

Hi there the best thing for you would be to sell your 255 and purchase a 465T the truck version, I cannot speak highly enough of it no more narrow roads low bridges or weight restrictions great bit of kit, i am an hgv driver but the same applies i got mine new off ebay for £210 i think there are more at similar prices,you can get poi`s to tell you some restrictions but your unit won`t route you aruond them, cheers ... _________________ Tomtom 5150 pro truck... |

Some Nüvi 255s can run the Nüvi 465 firmware... (See here for details.) |

Please read the warnings on that site regarding flashing a unit with a Firmware not written for it.
You proceed at your own risk. |

Thanks for all advice and will go for 465T and use the 255W for UK only as mostly know all routes I travel on. |
