Garmin nuvi 255W Car GPS Receiver

The Bottom Line: As previously stated there is limitations on the technology that we must accept. In general the system works well

Review: I bought the 255W a few weeks ago in the UK and find it very easy to set up and helpful for getting around towns in the UK. It is slim enough to fit into your pocket, but I would suggest purchasing a case. I am amazed at the technology but it does...

The Bottom Line: Great and reliable navigation tool with minor limitations. Godsend when lost; but always have a backup map or plan

Review: I bought my Garmin Nuvi 255w in August, 2008; my first car GPS. It has been an invaluable tool in getting me through unfamiliar territory. It's easy to use (I'm not the swiftest with technology, so that's saying something) and the screen menus are...

In the past, the old Garmin Street Pilots C330's had major design flaws such as a connected power cord that flexed and eventually broke off. They redesigned the system to use...

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this. You will be disappointed not to mention lost.

Review: I bought this unit and used it locally for a few days before taking a major trip from the Bay Area to Grand Teton/Yellowstone park. It performed just fine around the local area.
However, it got lost in Twin Falls ID and kept taking us around in...

Review: I have had no problems with my Garmin. Garmin is by far the best gps i have used so far. Takes a little over 15 sec for me to get position. The GPS has lots of features and has Europe maps too for those who want to backpack in Europe.

Review: The Garmin Nuvi 255W is easy to use, and helpful on long road trips.

Review: this device calculates the best routes based on traffic, fuel efficiency, distance, or anything else one can think of. it is a must have for any driver who will ever drive more than 10 miles to a destination.
