(1) Does nuvi 2557LMT include the map of Hawaii? (2) Does Nivi 255LMT will run out of space for new map down load like the nuvi1390LMT that I have?

I have researched the web for the answers to your questions, as I do not have these Garmin products. (I have the Nuvi 52LM). First question, yes if the GPS has maps of Hawaii in it. You should check directly with Garmin for this answer. Second, both the Nuvi 255LMT and the Nuvi 1390LMT have the same size 2GB micro SD cards, so they have the same memory capability. All info should be verified through Garmin Support. NOTE: "The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world." As GPS is satellite based, it will work in Hawaii. BUT YOUR UNIT MUST HAVE MAPS IN IT FOR HAWAII.

Thank you so much for the post on the "hard reset". I recently updated my maps and when next I used it I saw the No Maps and the No Data message. Your hard reset worked perfectly--on the second try--it was comforting to see that question come up and know how to answer it. I didn't have any addresses that were essential so all is well. You are a life saver!!!!

The model I purchased was the Nuvi 2597. It came with US maps already on it but no other countries that I am aware of. I recommend you can visit the Garmin website for specific information about how to get the software for the particular maps you are looking to add. I believe there are maps for other countries that can be added for approximately $50.00. I personally paid someone to add the maps for me as I am in Costa Rica. I was apprehensive because I did not want to risk paying for the software online, and then if it does not work, I could experience a difficult time being reimbursed. I wanted to know that I was getting exactly what I paid for, so I chose that route. I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your search.

I have the Nuvi, but not sure of the number, but I think there is only one SD mini card that fits all of them. Yes, you do have to leave it in. The reason you need it is to provide the additional space for updated maps. This is a weakness in the Garmin, there is no additional memory for updates.

I also ordered from Amazon and received my Nuvi 370 yesterday (7/26/07). The unit that I received had the current maps of Europe (City Navigator Europe NT v9), but the older, outdated maps of North America (City Navigator North America NT v8). I called Garmin and they agreed to send me the newly-released North America maps (City Navigator North America NT 2008) free of charge.

I am in the exact same situation, I am debating which GPS to return. 255WT or 285WT?285WT is actually cheaper too, since I didn't have to pay any tax buying from amazon.sigh... I should have just shelled out a little bit more for the 265WT from Radio shack.The bluetooth on the 285WT seems nice to have, but is the lifetime traffic on the 255WT any good, and is it more worthy than the bluetooth? I never followed the traffic information from my Navigion 2100T, since I am not sure how useful it is.

Thanks for the info. My nuvi 360 says it has 2008 version of the maps. Is that V8? Or will I need to call to get, V9, or V8.1? Thanks!

I have a NUVI 1490 and the 8GB MicroSD works great in this GPS. The 8GB SD card allowed me to download all the latest maps of the USA and Canada. I popped it in the GPS and I just keep it in there. In fact, I believe you have to keep the SD card in the slot to be able to access all the maps.

Call Garmin again ... and again. Not everyone in support knows what they are talking about. Their guarantee states you have 60 days for the latest maps. Also note that Garmin has been messing up lately with these upgrades (not sure why).Just a note on the maps. There is nothing "magical" about new maps -- they may or may not make much difference in many areas of the country. I know people who have had a Garmin for several years and never updated the maps. And just because it says the maps are "new", doesn't mean they won't have missing roads or errors.

My garman is far better....

It has a micro SD slot. I use a 16 GB micro card and figure I'll never fill it up. Just returned from a trip visiting family, started in South Florida drove to Arizona, then more family in Oklahoma and back to Florida this past Saturday. The nuvi was excellent! Trip recorder, searched out and found various things like "Murphy USA" gas stations located at Walmart stores (not all walmart stores have gas), where I used a "gas card" to get 10 cent discount per gallon of gas! I don't always read directions... so I kept discovering new options through out the trip. My "new nuvi" does a lot more than my old nuvi and I loved my old model... BUT the nuvi 50LM is outstanding!

When I purchased this Garmin USB cable, I wasn't sure it would fit into my Nuvi 1450. Unfortunately, the product description from Amazon does not provide any answers on what particular models the cable fits into. I took a careful look at the picture and took a chance on buying it (the price was cheap enough). Fortunately, the USB cable did fit into my Nuvi 1450. Other reviewers may have the answer to your question about your 255LM Nuvi. D. Miller answered on 11-4-2013 that the cable worked great on his Nuvi 255. Matt answered on 1-14-2014 that his cable worked on his Nuvi 255W. I am not sure if this cable will work on your 255LM Nuvi--I am not familiar with it. You may have to do what I did and take a chance.

The 600 does not have preloaded maps. I purchased a City Navigator NT map and a local topo map separately. Happy with both maps. Saved money buying only what I need.

I typed in 10 Main St. Anchorage, Alaska and it gave a message that "the route is too long. Navigation instructions are a added as you approach the destination." I would guess the maps would be there. It is a great GPS.

Do let us know what map version ships with your unit. FWIW, the price was $5 cheaper last week, then they raised it $8 this week, and subsequently lowered it $3. No clue..
