I especially rely on a gps when travelling to Quebec and having to cope with the language barrier. My older Garmin gps would take me to a location based only on a Canadian postal code. I am very disappointed and returning the Garmin nuvi 255w since it will not do what their older model would do, give directions to a location based on a postal code. In Quebec cities and streets are often hard to spell and may contain 3 words and hyphens. It was great with the older model to find locations based only on postal codes. I spoke with Garmin tech support and they apologized, but said getting directions based on postal code is not a feature of Garmin nuvi 255w.
