The Garmin 255W Features Predictive Technology That Provides Faster Satellite Lock
The Garmin 255W features predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The Garmin Nuvi 255W bundled with maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. , rather than “turn left in 50 feet”, it says “turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way”). The Garmin 255W also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that displays 70% more of the road around you.
The nüvi 2×5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot. 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.
Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS comes with some excellent features :
- HotFix (Long Term Ephemeris Prediction) finds satellites faster
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Basemap shows 3D shaded terrain features
- Faster 333 Mhz processor offers faster, smoother map drawing and vehicle icon motion through turns

One of customer review is L. Smith. Here is what she said about Nuvi 255W “I received this GPS a week ago, and I have not found anything wrong with it. No need to read the manual, just plug it in and go! All the features are excellent and user friendly. The Garmin Nuvi 255W connects to satellites extremely fast–So when I get in my car and turn it on, we’re pretty much ready to go immediately.The new display posts speed limit signs of major roads flush left on the screen, which is a new feature that is also really helpful, if you’re driving in an unfamiliar area. Another helpful feature I find is how fast the Nuvi 255W recalculates your position if you do miss a turn. I love the detour feature, it saved me a ton of time when I heard there was an accident on the highway and took back roads that I would have never known existed! I would recommend the Garmin 255W to anyone looking for reliable, a fast, and easy to use GPS system.”
