Can the 255 be updated&gt;

yes, update only in software and other features such as voice. Not Road maps. To have Road maps update need to purchase online $80 or less on lifetime update.

Actually you're right that the 285 comes with MSN traffic (and not FM traffic) and bluetooth, however the 255 does not come with neither MSN traffic, FM traffic, nor bluetooth. That's the difference. If you want FM traffic and bluetooth get the 265 (that's why the 265 is more expensive than 285 and 255). The 265 does not come with MSN traffic though.

No unfortunately it probably will never be updated officially. You might be able to do a 1.1 build yourself but that will never be the same as an official update.

yes but GUI is limited. Yes it supports 255.255.0.0. If you are only comfortable with GUI don't get this... you will need to teach yourself some basic linux operation to take advantage of this router.

I cant answer 100%, because I read in misc forums that new version uses same numbers as the old.What I can answer is "THIS version when I bought it, is not the new versions".

I would think you only need to upgrade on input the new code but I cannot say for sure since I did not upgrade from a former version of 360.

No, at least when you buy it. I haven't had to update it yet so there could be a fee.

The 255's text to speech quality sounds lower quality than the 7 series and the older units. It uses lower bitrate. It still is clear, just sounds digitized.

If it's working ok as is, I wouldn't try to update it. If however you need to update it, there are some helpful forums online ( ip cam talk) that will get you what you need.

I have a 255, 255w's smaller brother with identical features, and have been using it for over a year. I love it, but once you get your free map update online, you have to buy future updates fron Garmin at hefty prices. It is cheaper to buy a new unit than pay for lifetime updates($119). A onetime update is @ $60. Though I love my 255, it's a pretty stiff toll. I'm thinking of trying something different, because there has been some new road construction near me, and my current maps don't always suit.

You can go to this website http://www.sunchie.com/hp.htm and update your firmware to change the mph to km.

I don't know if there is an update available. The unit I got performs just fine as received.

255c is a discontinued part number. The new number is 253D. Your sensor will fit.

It can be updated, but you have to purchase the seperate "Update Kit", which is basically just a cable that connects the unit to a USB port on your computer. With that, you can update it any time. Without it, you are stuck with the US only geocaches that come pre-installed. You just need one update kit no matter how many Geomate's you have.
