One of customer review is L. Smith. Here is what she said about Nuvi 255W “I received this GPS system about a week ago, and I haven’t found one thing to complain about yet. The features are great, and all entirely user friendly. No need to read the manual, just plug it in and go! The Garmin Nuvi 255W connects to satellites extremely fast–So when I get in my car and turn it on, we’re pretty much ready to go immediately.If you’re driving in an unfamiliar area, the new display posts speed limit signs of major roads flush left on the screen, which is a new feature that is also really helpful. Another helpful feature I find is how fast the Nuvi 255W recalculates your position if you do miss a turn. I love the detour feature, it saved me a ton of time when I heard there was an accident on the highway and took back roads that I would have never known existed! I would recommend the Garmin 255W to anyone looking for reliable, a fast, and easy to use GPS system.”
