The Garmin nüvi 255W portable GPS navigator provides accurate guidance to keep you on track. It offers a 4.3" widescreen touch display for clear map detail, plus text-to-speech voice prompts which announce actual street and exit names at turns. You'll hear "turn right on Water Street" instead of "turn right in 300 feet," so you can keep your eyes on your surroundings as you drive.
The nüvi 255W comes preloaded with maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico viewable in 2-D or 3-D mode, along with 6 million selectable points of interest. You can search for hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and other destinations, or add your own custom points of interest. Check out the impressive details on the big 4.3" screen, including shaded contours for elevation during map close-ups.

A built-in digital picture viewer lets you enjoy your vacation photos on the way home — just slip your personal SD™ memory cards into the SD card slot.
