Customer Reviews
Great! Easy to use! No more wrong turns!
Customer Rating:The Garmin Nuvi 255w is just what I needed. I moved to a new area and had many frustrating wrong turns until I got the Nuvi. The size is nice (not too small, not too big) and is very easy to use. I recommend it for anyone! The price was right too- just $100.
Heavily Flawed
Customer Rating:Received this Garmin to replace my 2008 Garmin Nuvi 350.
I've come to the conclusion that this unit is sub par on multiple levels.
First, and most noticeable is the difference in satellite reception. My unit took approximately 15 minutes to obtain a weak signal on a clear day. This was repeated over the course of a week. Driving through a small tunnel would cause the signal to be completely lost, while the Nuvi 350 would at least attempt to continue your route.
Compared to the Nuvi 350, I find the user interface and software to be very slow. Touch screen response takes a bit for it to register on the unit. This creates a dangerous scenario while driving (I know..) and continuously had me correcting errors.
Perhaps I received a defective unit, but this one is already on its way back to Amazon.
Refurbished Garmin
Customer Rating:I love this Garmin. I bought one for my boyfriend and had to buy one for myself. Refurbished it may be, but I haven't had one issue with it and I think it's a great product.
Love our new Garmin
Customer Rating:We took it on vacation with us and we NEVER got lost. Easy to figure out how to use and it can find anything! Love it!!
Garmin GPS
Customer Rating:I like everything about this Garmin except that the voice sounds bossy and hurried. Our previous Garmin's voice was much nicer. Maybe she is hurried because she is giving street names and so has to talk faster?
