Garmin's nüvi 2455LMT portable navigator offers helpful guidance to road warriors and new GPS aficionados alike, with an improved interface to make it more user-friendly. You'll appreciate the free traffic-information service that lets you know about congestion in your area and finds you a better route. And you can keep up on road changes with up to four map updates per year without any additional costs, which comes in handy for street changes or when a favorite destination has closed or relocated.

Let Garmin Guidance 2.0 lead the way
The nüvi 2455LMT incorporates Garmin Guidance 2.0, a feature set that offers convenience for everyday travel. You can find and select businesses right on the map screen without having to go through time-wasting menus. Speed limit displays with visual warnings on major roads help keep you in check. You'll see photoReal™ junction views that provide easy-to-read and realistic representations of complicated interchanges, including signs. You'll also find a photo viewer, "Where Am I?" emergency aid, audiobook player, trip planner, and other legacy Garmin features.

Garmin 3D Traffic
The nüvi 2455LMT features free lifetime traffic updates using Garmin's 3D Traffic service, which is more expansive and timely than ever. 3D Traffic incorporates data from active devices on the road, historical traffic patterns, and other factors like construction, concerts, and sporting events to give you a comprehensive look at congestion in most metropolitan areas. Best of all, you won't have to pay a penny more for this service over the life of your nüvi.

Stay on course
The 4.3" nüvi 2455LMT's color touchscreen display lets you view the action in either portrait or landscape orientation. You get maps of the entire U.S., plus most of Canada, Mexico, and several Caribbean islands, along with over 8 million points of interest for stopping points for everything from an ATM to emergency services. You can add custom points of interest to give your journeys a personal touch.

You'll have Lane Assist to guide you through interchanges, plus text-to-speech voice prompts that announce actual street names at turns. In select instances, the screen will split automatically to give you a photoReal view of the junction so you'll have a clear picture of the next turn. When you're on the highway, the navigator can give you a quick listing of stopping points nearest the exit ramp to save you from searching.

Map View Options: You can choose from a 3D map view or two 2D map views (Track Up or North Up) as you navigate to your destination.

Speed Limits: As you travel along a major road, the speed limit is displayed on the screen alongside of the vehicle's speed display. If you are exceeding the speed limit, the color of the vehicle speed indication changes to red. If the highway's posted speed limit has changed since the last map update, you can change the speed limit display on the unit.

Where Am I?: The "Where Am I?" feature gives you instant access to important information in case of an emergency. When you select "Where Am I?" from the menu, you get the coordinates (including elevation) of your current position, plus the nearest address and intersections. There are also buttons to help you locate the nearest hospitals, police stations, gas stations, and roadside assistance. You can also save the location for future reference.

Garmin Locate: To assist you in finding your parked vehicle, the Garmin Locate feature saves your location to memory when you remove the device from the windshield mounting cradle while the device is on. You can search for your vehicle's location using the Last Spot button in the menu.

Pedestrian Navigation: In addition to vehicle navigation, the nüvi 2455LMT can also be useful when walking around town. If you have the optional cityXplorer maps loaded into the unit, the pedestrian navigation feature adds public transportation options as you travel on foot.

trafficTrends: When the trafficTrends feature is enabled, the nüvi 2455LMT automatically records historic traffic data and uses that data to calculate more efficient routes. This information is sent to Garmin when you connect your device to myGarmin (your personal account site on the Garmin website) using your computer. Different routes may be calculated based on traffic trends for the day of the week or the time of day.
