Garmin
nuvi 255
Simple
navigation at an affordable price!
For
peace of mind on the go, nuvi
255 leads the way with voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions
that speak street names and optional MSN Direct® to get you
there on time and keep you informed. It's
packed with millions of destinations and maps for North America.
Like widescreen
nuvi 255W, this portable navigator
is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
Navigate With Ease
nuvi
255 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City
Navigator® NT street maps, including a hefty points
of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs
and more. It even announces the name of exits and streets so
you never have to take your eyes off the road. Simply touch the
color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you
there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and
and smooth map updates as you navigate. Its digital elevation
maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you
a big picture of the surrounding terrain. In addition, nüvi
255 accepts custom
points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety
cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming
POIs. With HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi calculates
your position faster to get you there quicker.
Take It With You
Like
widescreen nuvi 255W, nuvi 255
sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket
or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient
for navigation by car or foot. With its "Where Am I?" emergency
locator, you always know your location. Simply tap the screen
to get your exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest
address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police
stations and fuel stations.
Go Beyond Navigation

255 is compatible with optional enhanced MSN® Direct content
and our free Garmin

your location on the map. It also comes with Garmin Lock™,
an anti-theft feature. Enhance your travel experience with optional
