Due to an accident that permanently damaged my nuvi 270 (don’t ask, but it was totally my fault), I was put in the situation where I had to buy another GPS. The base model from Garmin right now is the nüvi 205 and that’s the one I bought. The 2×5 (i.e. 205, 215, 255, etc.) is the updated generation from the older 2×0 line (200, 250, 260, 270, etc.) If a nüvi model starts with a 2 and ends with a 0, that’s the older one. If it starts with a 2 and ends with 5, that’s the current generation. Continued
