And also big screen.

255W come with SD card. 1250 is MicroSD card.

Cheers!

1250 and 255 should be the same 3.5" screen. It is 1350 and 1460 that sport bigger screens.

1. Ability to add multiple maps with customised names in Map folder, instead of just gmapsupp.img and a few others
2. Faster GPS signal acquisition (from what I observed)
3. microSD card (I forgot if 255 is SD or microSD)

You meant can install more maps on device, and select set of maps when needed (e.g. Sin/Mal, Thailand, Indonesia... etc) ?
So main-memory : one map , SDcard-memory : a few maps.

This post explains it viewtopic.php?p=102406#p102406

You have to find out how many maps you have in your Nuvi ? MainMenu-Tools-System-Map-MapInfo

Then enable map of interest and disable rest.

You CANNOT enable maps of similar country as the data can clash ....
