Product Description

Garmin's nüvi 255W improvesupon its 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also introducing some significant improvements with this new series, like a 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.

Everything that the best and most efficient GPS systems might have, this device will have plus the unique features this brand specifically designed for this type of service.

Aside from the fact that the Garmin Nuvi GPS Navigation System has one of the most accurate receivers in the market, it also offers a text-to-speech highly competent functionality, the most versatile system and a great integrated Bluetooth that makes this one of the most desirable devices out there.

There is nothing like a veteran GPS provider to manufacture some of the most reliable pieces in the market. With the Garmin Nuvi GPS Navigation System, the larger touchscreen display gives its users enough room to handle all of the features and enough space so the maps and instructions might be easily viewed by anyone. The incredible 480x272 pixel resolution presents the user with images that are extremely sharp and colorful. The ideal large screen was built as part of this device due the problems with readability that many other GPS systems won't admit they have. Garmin has been around long enough to know best.

The clean interface and clearly identifiable menus are rich in easy to use features that will keep you away from your user's manual forever. The WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) built within this GPS gadget will make your position location much more accurate and updated than any other, and if you are not only the car driving type, you may switch the device to be used with a bicycle, truck, bus and even as a plain pedestrian.

And if you think that a GPS manufacturer will only be concerned with the device it sells, think again. Garmin offers a full kit with MP3 player, JPEG picture viewer, an audible book player, measurements converters, a world clock and a calculator. With this device in your hands you will be on the top of the world.
