Hi ,
I just purchased a 255W from the USA and installed the latest MFM in SD card..but it's weird that instead of u-turn, it says turn right, and turn right..I already uncheck the u-turn avoidance box in the navigation settings..

how do i solve this problem?

This is common, and nothing unusual, for the map is interpret as a cross junction.
So it says turn right & turn right.
But you can post your feedback on the respective error reporting, the later version map will be corrected. Identify the coordinates of that junction.
Everyone contribute a bit, eventually we can enjoy and benefit more in our navigation. :thumbsup:

But my old 205W read the map correctly..I wonder whether it's due to the map or device?

MFM is using compatible compiler to compile garmin maps, and some setting will be a bit difference from garmin original maps
