This popular GPS can do more than I expected

Pros Very intuitive interface, simple yet many useful features, points of interest, clear...
Cons Slightly too wide, power plug in back. Microsoft Streets and Trips feature problematic.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Nüvi 255W GPS a little bit more than a month ago. I am pretty good with directions and maps and I like to know the entire route before I go and therefore I have never had a big interest in GPS devices. I typically use google/yahoo/bing maps or Microsoft Streets and Trips to look... Read full review »

Pros cheap, easy to use, decent battery life
Cons Nuvi talks a lot sometimes.  Directions are occasionally wrong.

Before I begin writing this review, I'd like you to know that I'm not really tech savvy.  If you're looking for a detailed review of the specifications and special features that the Garmin Nuvi 255W has to offer, this is not the review for you.  If you just want to know what an average female with...

Pros A fun, little toy
Cons No easy way to preview or customize routes
Recommended it? Yes



I had wanted a GPS device for sometime, but really could not justify spending money on something I didn't really need. So I was thrilled when I received the Garmin Nuvi 255W as a gift. We have affectionately dubbed her Annie.

I got my Garmin Nuvi for Christmas of 2010. MY parents got it for me for less than $100 at best buy. The second I opened the box I was shocked at how slim the device was and at how stylish it looked. I mean no one wants to drive around with a weird looking GPS. After I charged it I programmed my... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Compact, Simple Setup
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

My husband never likes to ask for directions so this was the perfect gift for him! You can plan your route and put in if there is construction. If you turn the wrong direction it will let you know and adjust your route. I like that you can select points of interest such as gas stations and places... Read full review »

Garmin nuvi 255W - An Electronic Compass

Pros The unit gives clear instructions well in advance of any turns, etc.
Cons Insufficient written instructions and poor website.  No USB cable provided.
Recommended it? Yes

One of the outstanding features of the Garmin nuvi 255w is the clarity of the voice response.  While the directions given are not always the most direct, the unit is capable of redirecting the user to the destination.  The written instructions provided with the unit leaves much to be...

Garmin 255W

Pros Easy to use, slim,
Cons Maps and points of interest out of date
Recommended it? No

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 have its limitations, some must be Garmins fault,... Read full review »

Mostly usable, but a few design flaws.

Pros TTS, fast startup, free traffic reports, <br> speaks 60 languages, loud, bright.
Cons Outdated POI and road updates, mistakes, no mute, ads, robotic voice, clamshell.
Recommended it? Yes

The unit does the job- spoken street names are accurate but robotic sounding,  Free lifetime traffic reports are ad-sponsored but this isn't indicated on the package.

My street is a small street and doesn't seem to be on the Garmin or TomTom devices.   However other GPS brands have... Read full review »

I currrently own 4 garmin GPS systems. 3 C330's and 1 new Nuvi 255W.
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 removable power cords. Also, their cigarette... Read full review »
