I've got a two or three year old Garmin Nuvi 255WT that I'm going to upgrade on Black Friday (will be a Christmas gift from my wife). I'm either going with the 1390LMT (9), 50LM (9), or 40LM (). For anyone who has used either of them I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions! As far as the Live Traffic Update feature, I think over the passed two (or three) years the one on my 255WT has actually helped me twice. Once I did take the detour and the other I didn't and was only delayed about 10 extra minutes. I think it's more of a 'secure feeling' feature to me than anything else knowing that if I'm going through/to a large city (maybe 8 times a year) it would let me know if I was going to encounter a long delay.
