With nüvi 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
nüvi 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 nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice
directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and smooth map redraw rates 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 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, nüvi calculates your position faster to get you there
quicker.
Take It With You
Like the rest of the nüvi 2x5-series, nüvi 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. nüvi 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 (subscription and receiver required) 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
