Garmin nüvi 2557LMT 5-Inch Portable Vehicle GPS with Lifetime Maps and Traffic $148.01
I think it recently came down from about $200.

I dint get that but...
Anyone know the difference between the 2557lmt & 2558 lmthd? It seems like the latter has better traffic (HD), but is an older model. Does the 2557 not have that feature?

Is this a good deal?

Garmins 2 newest devices.  
Garmin Nuvi 2598LMTHD 5" GPS. $189.99 at Costco.com (on garmin.com it's $319.99, ebay $229.99 not available on amazon)
Garmin Nuvi 2558LMTHD 5" GPS $169.99 at Costco.com (no price on garmin.com, ebay $229.00, not available on amazon)
The difference between these 2 is bluetooth and voice-activated navigation

http://www.costco.com/.product.100109524.html?cm_sp=RichRelevance-_-itempageVerticalRight-_-CategorySiloedViewCP&cm_vc=itempageVerticalRight|CategorySiloedViewCP
I try my best :-\

I'm looking to buy a new GPS, I find that with the Garmin I had until now it takes quite a while until it finds the satellite and sometimes I'm halfway there when it figures it out and then it constantly re-routes itself even when I don't make a wrong turn. I even bought a new one and had the same issues.  Is the Tom Tom a better gps? If yes, which product is best?
