Reviews on Garmin nüvi 255W GPS
GPS 225W Vehicle
Strengths: All the places I was looking for were on there where I could find easily. I also like the qwerty keyboard
Weakness: I do not particularly like the voice of the GPS
I really like the GPS except for the voice of the text to message. I like that it has my speed and the speed limit on the first screen. I recently took a trip through Tennessee and was able to find everything I was looking for.
Garmin 255W
Strengths: Easy to use. Very accurate.
Weakness: None yet.
I wanted a GPS that was simple to use, and I didn't need advanced features. I'd read mixed reviews of this model and was uncertain about my purchase. Fortunately, this model is just what I wanted. We've just returned from a trip to Edisto Beach, SC, and we used "Hattie" to navigate the entire trip. We had no problems, but users should be aware that she never suggests turning around when a turn is...
I will recommend
Strengths: Quick hook onto satellites, Clear voice, Speak street names
Weakness: No Bluetooth connection
I used this product on my trip to detroit from Chicago. Worked perfectly fine. Used the highway locator for eating joints too was excellent.Didn't have traffic update subscription. But used my mind and on way back myself avoided the state highway and took interstate by going via a different route. In downtown it takes time for it to recalculate and since streets are quite nearby I frequently miss...
Garmin Nuvi 255W
Strengths: Easy to use
Weakness: Navigation, Speed Limits, Map Accuracy
I live in rural Texas and 90% of the posted speed limits disagree with the 255W. Usually the 255W is 5 to 15 mph high! Many streets that have been renamed for over two years still have the old name. On a trip from Dallas to Houston on I-45 about half way the 255W routed me off freeway then right back on. On a trip from Dallas to my home in Gun Barrel City in Kemp Texas the 255W routes me the...
Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS
Strengths: design, lightness and widescreen
Weakness: it should come with a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter...
It should come with a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter and maps other than just North America and Europe. What differs from other GPS devices, this one is affordable and makes your trip easier, as you go! I'd had the opportunity of using one to travel across the state of São Paulo thru Bahia in Brasil with no hassle!
A little wonder
Strengths: Fast processor, great screen, easy to use and TOPO!
Weakness: No MP3 Player or FM Transmitter
I just received this GPS and it is excellent! I'm glad I waited for the newer model since this one has many upgrades including a redesigned GUI, faster processor and most importantly (to me), Topo maps. The accuracy is great and it locks onto satellites fairly quickly. All in all I really dont have any complaints since I wouldn't use it for an MP3 player or use the FM transmitter. I feel the...
Disappointed
Strengths: Grabs satellite fast Many POIs Easy mount Easy setup
Weakness: Inaccurate Voice stinks On/Off/Volume in awkward position
I purchased the Garmin because of a great deal from Tiger Direct. It's easy to use & setup right out of the box. Turned the unit on and found that I lived one street over. =( Not a good sign. So, I drove around a bit thinking it just needed to acclimate to the area. Didn't help. Updated maps from Garmin & still inaccurate. Took a 3-hour up the interstate to meet a friend. 255W was more than a...
Horrible sound quality
Strengths: Maps, ease of use
Weakness: Sound quality, features for the money
First off, the sound is horrible on this model. At volumes of 60% or above, there is so much distortion that the voices sound like they are coming from a blown speaker. Its tolerable but HIGHLY annoying. If you research this product you'll find many others that have a big complaint with the sound. It seems to be caused by Garmin decreasing the file sizes and quality of the voice files. On...
Inaccurate map
Strengths: Light weight
Weakness: Unreliable map, poor voice quality, poor readability
Other reviewers must not have used this navigator long enough to experience its sub-par performance. The worst feature is its poor unreliable map. It does not know about one-way streets, and dead ends. In traffic in a city it is outright dangerous to rely on it. It also has very poor GPS resolution, worse than hundreds of feet. I know it sounds incredible, but this is the fact. I did not believe...

Huge upgrade to my previous StreetPilot c320 and...
Strengths: Dirt cheap, faster refreshing time, larger screen, newer POIs, more convenient features, fast locking.
Weakness: Slow response to touch, no physical volume control, TTS sound is more compressed than previous generation GPS. Bad speaker.
Great buy in my opinion, it out-performs in most areas than my old StreetPilot c320 and c580, both cost three times the price of this gps when I bought them while they just came out. This GPS have a much faster refreshing time than the previous generations, even faster than the 350 and 700 series, thus more accurate lock, especially at intersections where you have to make a decision whether to...
