| Go wide and get peace
of mind with nuvi 255W. This affordable, widescreen navigator leads the
way with voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions that speak street names
and optional MSN Direct services to get you there on time and keep you
informed. It's packed with millions of destinations and maps for North
America or Europe. Like the rest of the sleek nuvi 2x5-series, this
portable navigator is priced right and ultra-easy to use.

With nvi 255W's
widescreen display, you'll always get the big picture. View map detail,
driving directions, photos and more in bright, brilliant color. Its
sunlight-readable, 4.3-inch display is easy to read from any direction.
Navigate With Ease
nuvi 255W 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 nuvi takes you there
with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps 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, nuvi 255W 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, nuvi calculates your position faster to get you there
quicker.
Take It With You
Like the rest of the
nuvi 2x5-series, nuvi 255W 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
Navigation is just the
beginning. nuvi 255W includes many travel tools including JPEG picture
viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter,
measurement converter, calculator and more. With photo navigation, you
can download Google Panoramio pictures via our Garmin Connect Photos
website and navigate to them. The 255W is compatible with optional
enhanced MSN Direct content and our free Garmin Garage where you can
download animated vehicles that show your location on the map. It also
comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature. Enhance your travel
experience with optional plug-in microSD cards such as Garmin Travel
Guides for detailed data on attractions.
