Strengths: Option to change voices, Easy to read display

Weaknesses: Weak internal speaker

The Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS navigator is the descendant to the Garmin Nuvi 250W that was released in the year 2005. For peace of mind on the go, the Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS navigator is a good choice with user-friendly navigator that leads the way with maps and voice prompted turn-by-turn directions. What is striking about the Garmin nuvi 255W is that though the design is good enough, the large 4.3-inch touch-screen display is specially made for viewing under any lighting condition. With the new HotFix satellite prediction, the Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS calculates position at enhanced speed. It works with a dedicated network of satellites that work in union to minimise the time taken to communicate the directions.

You can get your correct location easily by tapping its "Where Am I?" emergency locator. One thing that differentiates this navigator from the much used 750 is its ability to update the road more often (almost thrice) than the Nuvi 750. Further, it announces the name of streets so you need not take your eyes off the road while driving. It also gives you the freedom to choose the voice sound that best suits you. Boost your travel experience with optional content plug-ins that is available via microSD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide.

Battery life too supports the performance of the Garmin Nuvi 255W with a minimum 4 hours power, yet its weak internal speakers pull down this navigator amongst its competitors.

However, the Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS is a trusted navigator to reach your destination in time.
