For peace of mind on the go, nüvi 255 leads the way with
voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions that speak street names
and optional MSN Direct® to get you there on time and keep you
informed. It's packed with millions of destinations and maps for
North America or Europe. Like the rest of the compact nüvi
2x5-series, this portable navigator is priced right and
ultra-easy to use.
Navigate With Ease
nüvi 255 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 and smooth map updates 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 255 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 255 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 255 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 255 is compatible with
optional enhanced MSN® Direct content 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 your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD
cards such as Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on
attractions.
