"The Garmin Nuvi 255W features a large touch screen and an easy-to-understand interface. Start-up, destination entry, and trip routing and rerouting times are slightly faster than the competition. ""Where am I?"" feature is very useful for emergencies. Text-to-speech reads street and points of interest names aloud."
The Nuvi 255W's feature set is rather limited. Mounting cradle is bulkier than competing models and not very portable.
"As entry-level GPS navigators go, the Garmin Nuvi 255W is still one of the best choices available for anyone who wants speedy performance without breaking the bank."
