The Garmin Nuvi 255w is rightly one of the most desirable portable GPS receivers that money can buy today. It isn’t difficult to understand this. The garmin nuvi 255wt is so small that it can easily be carried in a jacket pocket. The device an also be attached by a suction cup to your car’s dashboard or windshield. Once you’ve reached your destination, you have only to remove the device from its mount, and the Garmin Nuvi gps remembers the location where you have parked your car. This is very useful in busy parking areas or complicated car parks, or for someone like me who tends to forget exactly where he has left his car.

With the Nuvi 255w at your side, you can depend on it that you will always take the most direct route to your desired destination. All you have to do is input the destination in the device and it starts work sifting through all the potential routes to find the quickest and most convenient. The 255w takes account of all relevant information, such as traffic conditions or possible shortcuts so it will certainly offer you the most convenient route to take you where you need to get to.

The Garmin 255 might well be the best GPS device available. Don’t be deceived by its size – it has plenty of special functions such as multi-point routing and it can send and receive real time traffic condition updates and weather updates. These embedded features are serviced by MSN Direct, which, apart from weather and traffic updates can also provide local events, movie times and live gas prices.

So what more could you wish from a portable GPS tracking system? Despite its diminutive size and lightness it sports a generous 4.three inch TFT touch screen with anti-glare protection and is capable of showing images at a 480 x 272 resolution. You also get a USB port as well as an SC card slot. Power is provided by a rechargeable lithium ion battery which provides up to five hours on a single charge. It is also versatile: while you are driving it can function as an MP3 player and image viewer. That’s not all – the Garmin Nuvi 255w comes bundled with a USB cable and a car power adapter, and a mount for your windshield.

The Garmin gps is similar to the previous models from the gps 200 series. It has good width so that the screen is viewable from a range of angles but at the same time it is slender enough to be conveniently stored inside your car, or in your coat pocket.
