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 ...

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.
