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 255W adds complete maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet"). The 255W also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that displays 70% more of the road around you.
The nüvi 2x5 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 JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

Important Product Information: This device features a "screen lock" feature. This is a standard feature on all nüvi 2x5 and 7x5 Garmin units. If you slide the "Power" key to the right, it will lock the screen and prevent any accidental touches. Once the screen lock feature is engaged, the screen will go black/gray after about 15 seconds to save power on the device.
To unlock the screen, just slide the "Power" key to the center position. This feature is really targeted for "Pedestrian" mode so that a user can put the device in his or her pocket/purse and quickly unlock the screen instead of powering on/off continuously. For more information, see page 5 of the product manual.

Customer Reviews about Garmin 255
1. It's small, easy to use and gets me where I need to go. I travel every day in my job so an essential piece of equipment. by Jodean
2. My first GPS was on a cellular phone, and it was OK. I much prefer the dedicated GPS in Garmin's products. This product was also less expensive than a new GPS-capable phone. My only quibble with Garmin is their lack of support for Linux for updates. Otherwise, very pleased. by apex-predator
3. This is our first GPS and we are very happy with it. As I have heard with other GPS systems, you have to remember that they are not perfect and will not always tell you the way you would have gone, but they will get you there. It is very user friendly and has some nice features that are easy to use. We have used it one two trips so far and have been very happy with it. I was concerned with getting the 3.5 screen as opposed to the 4.3, but the 3.5 has worked out great for us. by G. Grant
4. I have had my nuvi 255 for a year now, and this gizmo is absolutely wonderful!! I have a bean bag mount for mine because I live in one of two states where a windshield mount is illegal, and I would recommend the bean bag mount for anyone. This mount makes the device totally portable moving from car to car in 30 seconds or less. When traveling, it is small enough to fit into my pocket nicely and I place the mount and cords with my computer cords... by J. Sutton
5. It took us (driver and navigator) a few hours of "messing around" to figure out the operation of this GPS. The menu system is logical and intuitive and it seems like we just kept discovering more and more features. Overall a great value for the $$$$.
By the way I have a Garmin model 45 hand-held GPS on my boat. It still works like a champ after nearly 15 years of hard use and abuse. For me GPS is spelled "G-A-R-M-I-N". by K. Jeff
