      I think this should be 255W not WT. It does not look like the traffic receiver is included.

      You are right, #1. It's a 255W and I own one. Absolutely love it.

      Could not live w/o a GPS after having my 205 for the last year and a half. Hopefully this touchscreen is good. My mom's widescreen Nuvi has a horrible touch screen compared to my 205. I can never hit the right letters...so weird b/c you'd think it would be easier since it has the bigger screen. I hate using hers...

      But Nuvi's rock in general.

      Certain Nuvis have certain problems. The touchscreen inaccuracies are known on certain models, I believe the 755 is one. Freezing problems are known to be common on other models, voice activated 855 comes to mind. One of the best performing without all the problems appears to be the 255W. As for traffic, some people complain it is bad dut to constant ads and that it is ending in a year or two.

      Also, beware of refurbs. People are sending in units with problems and it appears they are sent right back out without being repaired. lots of complaints and bad reviews on refurb units. Remember, refurb means used. Nothing more. No one refurbs anything. They turn it on and if it comes on, it is called a refurb and resold.
