The 255 gives the names of the upcoming streets and tells you left or right exit and exit numbers on freeways. We got the small screen to minimize blocking views from windshields.
Everything you need comes in the box except for the PC cable. You cannot download the map updates or register your product without this cable.
The Garmin Nuvi 255 is a very handy portable device. The unit is very easy to use and most people can use them "as is" without worrying about the map updates.
The travel kit has the PC cable and an AC charger with overseas adapters if you take the unit to a foreign country where the converters would be needed. The travel kit is reasonably priced, but you can purchase the PC cable alone for around $10.00 online.
Some states prohibit mounting the units on the windshield. It is a wonderful machine and we are enjoying ours.
I really love this GPS system. All it does is give you the cross streets but if you aren't familiar with the area, how are you supposed to know 2 cross streets. With the Garmin GPS you CAN enter an address like that. Actually, 2 of them. I also like how it speaks the street names AND it's simple to use. My daughter had already had a Garmin GPS that I had used once and really loved. Originally I was talked into purchasing a more expensive GPS from TomTom. Some streets go for miles.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying the TomTom. The biggist problem I had with the TomTom was that you CANNOT enter unincorporated addresses, for example 3 S 829. I immediately returned the 2 TomToms and purchased 2 of the Garmins instead. I love it.
After borrowing this gps from a friend,we couldn't wait to order our own after we got home from our trip.It is easy to use,and has all the features you need compared to higher priced gps.I love to go shopping and now i can find my way around with ease. Not only do I feel safe and secure knowing I won't get lost, it also gives my hunband peace of mind. We love our little garmin 255.And the price was great.
Initial starting should be good. It always show you the route through the interstate or state highway. This garmin sucks when it entered into the city. It is fantastic to find any hotels even in huge Arizona desert. But it picks up the signal very well. When you starts your journey from a point it says "Drive the highlighted route". Maps are kinda outdated and it doesn't have any updated maps where the highway is closed for repair. But if you need a GPS to go to point A to point B then nice.
Very handy and really easy to use. Makes driving in bigger towns much easier. Delivery was really fast. Thanks
