Garmin Nuvi 255w GPS

All Garmin 255W models are fit comfortably in your pocket or purse because of slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year and a rechargeable lithium battery that makes convenient for navigation by foot or car.

All of the models include useful travel tools like a currency converter, measurement converter, JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, calculator and more. With Garmin 255W's widescreen display, you'll always get the big picture. View map detail, driving directions, photos and more in bright, brilliant color. Its sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read from any direction

The super-bright, 4.3-inch touchscreen display is anti-glare for super viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing in dim light or at night. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views. Widescreen Garmin 255W's format gives you 70% more actual display area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a good view of the area where you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what restaurants, parks, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, GPS Garmin 255W itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.

On any nüvi (including this one), you can just tap "Where Am I?" to find the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations, nearest address and intersection. Also see your exact longitude and latitude coordinates.

Garmin Nuvi 255W bundled with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps for all of North America, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico,including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.

In addition, nüvi accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as safety cameras and school zones and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.

One of customer review is A.Kolhoff. Here is what he said about GPS Garmin 255W "I purchased this unit for my mom who never likes to drive anywhere alone fearing she'll get lost. She needs to fear no more! She LOVES this GPS unit. She found it very easy to learn how to use and is constantly playing with it showing everyone what it can do. She especially loves that it shows attractions (i.e. gas stations and stores) along her route. I highly recommend this one for someone looking for a basic GPS to help them get around town."
