Important Product Information: This device features a “screen lock” feature. This is a standard feature on all nüvi 2×5 and 7×5 Garmin units. If you slide the “Power” key to the right, it will lock the screen and prevent any accidental touches. Once the screen lock is engaged, the screen will go black after about 15 seconds to save power on the device. To unlock the screen, slide the “Power” key to the center position. This feature is really targeted for “Pedestrian” mode so that a user can put the device in his or her pocket/purse and quickly unlock the screen instead of powering on/off continuously. For more information, see page 5 of the product manual.

One of customer review is Spaceteach. Here is what he said about Garmin Nuvi 255w GPS “The Garmin Nuvi 255W provides a lot of bang for the buck. In a car, the display is excellent at medium brightness settings, but it does have to be set at the brightest setting outdoors or on a motorcycle where it is in direct sunlight. Garmin provides 1 free map update for their GPS units, but since this was a refurbished unit I had to scan the receipt and send it to Garmin to get the update. On a new unit, I think you can just get the update directly off of their web site. Features, functions, accuracy, and cost of the unit are excellent.”
