Editorial Reviews Garmin nüvi 255 3.5-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin
Amazon.com Product Description----May 7, 2008 Garmin's nüvi 255 improves upon its 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also introducing some significant improvements with this new series, like a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 255 adds complete maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet").
The nüvi 2x5 models all sport the slim design that Garmin introduced with the 200-series last year, so they all fit comfortably in your pocket or purse, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that makes them convenient for navigation by car or foot.All of the models include useful travel tools like a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.

Editorial Reviews Garmin nüvi 755T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin
Amazon.com Product Description Garmin continues to build up its nüvi 7xx series portable GPS navigators with its nüvi 755T, which adds a number of handy routing and communication features to an already impressive list of specs, including a 4.3-inch widescreen display, text-to-speech capabilities, media player, and FM transmitter for transmitting audio--including directions and MP3 music and audiobooks--from the device to your car radio.
Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor..New to the nüvi 7x5 lineup is Garmin's HotFix satellite prediction (which locates your position quickly and precisely), Lane Assist (which provides lane guidance and junction views when possible), automatic time zone transitioning, and 3D Building views as well as Garmin Connect Photos to help you visually ascertain your position. Additionally, the nüvi 755T includes free real-time traffic updates from Navteq (for the life of the device) via the included GTM 20 traffic receiver.

As with all nüvis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of an integrated high-sensitivity receiver, a slim, pocket-sized design with a gorgeous display, an easy, intuitive interface, and detailed NAVTEQ maps for North America (United States, Canada and Puerto Rico) with more than 6 million name-searchable points of interest. The Garmin nüvi 7x5 line features three other models--check out their spec highlights at the right and click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nüvi GPS navigators.
The bright, 4.3-inch touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views. The widescreen format gives you 70 percent more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.
The nüvi 755T comes preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps from Navteq for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.
Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location.

Lane GuidanceWith the new Lane Guidance feature built into the nüvi 7x5 series, you'll never question which lane you should be driving in again. It provides you with a view of what lane you should be in for upcoming turns. And with the 3D Lane Assist Junction View, you'll be able to see a photo-realistic screen that shows you both the road detail as well as the signs as you will see them on the road. The signs that aren't needed for navigation are faded compared to the appropriate lane signage.
Integrated Traffic ReceiverSteer clear of traffic with an integrated GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. No subscriptions or additional hardware needed. Just open the box, turn it on, and get instant access to traffic information--the traffic updates are free for the life of the device.
All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
In most areas, the traffic broadcasts are continuous--there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.
HotFix Satellite PredicitonGarmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. With HotFix, your nüvi remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off.
Multi-Destination RoutingThis lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about). A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.
Where Am I? Where's My Car?The nüvi 7x5 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where’s my car?" At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 7x5s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.

Other Features
The 3D Buildings feature helps you navigate by landmark.
The 3D Buildings feature is able to reference the buildings displayed on the map as well. Some buildings will be grey images "extruded" from the map, other buildings will be life like representations of the actual property.
With Automatic Time Zone Transition, you'll never have to remember to set the time as you travel. When the unit acquires a position fix, it automatically sets the unit to the correct time zone.
MP3 player compatible with audiobook playback
JPEG picture viewer
FM transmitter plays voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system
Compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as the Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide, which provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts.
Add custom points of interest (POIs) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras
Travel tools: World travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more
What's in the Boxnüvi 755T preloaded with maps of North America (United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico), vehicle suction cup mount, Vehicle power cable, USB cable, Dashboard disc, Quick start manual Notes
Optional software for language translation, detailed travel guides, and savings programs allow you to customize your nüvi to fit your travel needs

Like most USB mass storage devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.

Customer Reviews Garmin nüvi 755T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS NavigatorFrom Garmin

Significant Upgrade I purchased this unit to replace my stolen 200 series Garmin. I chose this one because of the FM traffic included for life and the lack of bluetooth. I have an iPhone and the only thing the bluetooth is good for is a wireless handset and caller id. Those features weren't enough for me to spend $100 more. The traffic assist is a must have. Not only does it give you the pretty picture you see in the description, it also shows at all times how many lanes there are on the freeway, and which lane you'll need to be in for your next turn. The unit is a little more sluggish than my older unit, I suspect that's because of the demands of the software; however it's not a serious problem. The FM traffic is o.k. at best. There are times it's dead on as far as the traffic, but the timed delays are not accurate (it'll claim a 1 minute delay but it may be 5). It also reports traffic problems that don't exist, and other's it totally misses. Most likely this is a problem with the FM reporting system and not the unit itself. The picture is great, directions are good and the unit is solid. It does have a cradle to latch in the unit unlike some less expensive units. That is money well spent as far as ease of use goes. Also, it's very customizable and as user friendly as the units get.
Typical Garmin Prior to this unit I had a Street Pilot C550 that cost a little more than twice what this unit did. It lived a good long life before getting injured in a car accident; it had been places from Syracuse to San Jose with me. I picked this unit up and to me it is pretty much the same thing with a wider screen, a little more speed, no bluetooth, and a little less depth. It could just be me but I think it pronounces names a little bit better. It definitely calculates routes and draws the maps a lot faster which I like. I also like the posted speed and upcoming turn being on the screen. I live in a rural area so I haven't been in a situation yet to take advantage of the traffic, junction view, or even the 3D buildings for that matter; but I figure it can't hurt to have it in there in case I do end up someplace where that stuff is implemented. My C550 had bluetooth and I know I won't miss it. In the end I like this unit but am unsure if it is a good thing or not that it is so much like my old C550. I guess the base tech has been there for years and they just add a little more processing power and some frilly extras like junction view and 3d building stuff on top to sell devices. The only question is will you be able to actually take advantage of it or not. In my case I have never seen any of it other than the increase in routing and map drawing speed but I was still willing to pay for the other stuff so it is there in the event that it can be used someday.
I'm both delighted and disappointed After two months' use in the Boston, Washington DC, and Portland (OR) metropolitan areas, and also on O'ahu, I now feel qualified to review this product. I'm both delighted and disappointed by the nüvi 755T. I chose this model because it combined the set of functions in which I was interested, and I'll discuss its different functions in turn. Basic navigation functions I've not had much first-hand experience with auto GPS units since the first generation Hertz "NeverLost" model, so I'm not able to compare the nüvi with current competitors. However, I'm very impressed with the speed and spatial precision of this unit. Even long and complicated routings are typically computed in less than ten seconds. Adaptations because of route variations are detected quickly and a revised route is computed speedily. I will pass a speed limit sign and within no more than one or two seconds the changed speed limit will usually appear on the screen. And I'm impressed, too, with how the unit automatically scales the map to a level appropriate for current navigation purposes. Problems with basic navigation are few. The most serious one encountered so far happened only in Portland (OR), and so it may relate to the quality of the mapping there. The unit pinpoints the vehicle's starting position within a rectangular grid of streets absolutely correctly, but when I then request a routing the unit sometimes tells me to "drive to the highlighted route" starting several blocks away from my current position (sometimes even off the current map). Yet it has no difficulty navigating me back correctly through the same grid all the way to the starting point. I have also experienced some variability between cities in what are regarded as network decision point nodes meriting the provision of route guidance there. On the Washington DC highway system, for example, merges and splits that in Boston would have been treated as decision points are not identified in the same way. One other improvement to "basic navigation" would be valuable. At the highest levels of map magnification, it would be very useful to have arrows showing the directions of one-way streets. Street name pronunciation The unit comes with a wide array of voices, languages, and national shades of English. I'm impressed with the capabilities of the name pronunciation feature; it works pretty well most of the time, and given the idiosyncrasies of the English language that's quite an achievement. It struggles, of course, with unfamiliar word structures (such as Hawai'ian names) or non-standard pronunciations (e.g., "Van-cow-ver"), but there are a few more mundane peculiarities. In Washington DC, where a compass quadrant designation follows many street names, the "St." is invariably taken to mean "Saint." "Rt." for "route" gets pronounced as "artee." The most amusing and ingenious muddle so far has been "Ames St.," which the unit interpreted as "American English Street." Lane assist I live in a state (Massachusetts) where the highway department's motto appears to be "Never give a sucker any advance notification of the lane he needs to be in," so Garmin's "Lane assist" feature was a strong attraction to choosing this model. But as of now, it is the most disappointing feature. First, only certain areas currently have this capability, and (unlike the real-time traffic information) I have been unable to find on the Garmin website any indications of just where it is available. It appears to be available in the Boston and Portland areas, for example, but I saw no evidence of it in the Washington DC and Honolulu areas. Secondly, it appears to be currently primarily available on the Interstate system (where the standards of highway signage are relatively good), whereas it would be of much greater value to drivers in dense urban core areas (e.g., lane guidance for Dupont and Washington Circles and the Potomac bridges in Washington DC). But it isn't clear to me whether the Navteq maps used by Garmin even have the basic lane detail to allow such guidance to be feasible eventually, even with a significant expansion of the geographical coverage for "Lane assist." Free real-time traffic information This was another strong attraction to me of this model. I concur with other reviewers who have opined that the advertising that allows the information to be accessed without a subscription charge is not at all a distraction (it's small, and appears only at the end of a trip or when the vehicle is stationary). But I haven't experienced congested conditions often enough yet to form strong opinions about its efficacy. In the Boston area I've experienced slow moving highway traffic a number of times (an amber traffic symbol on the screen, along with an estimate of the traffic delay minutes) and have occasionally noted that the system's information was not very current, but up to now I haven't experienced a high enough congestion level for the system to generate an alternate routing. In overview, I'm very pleased with this model and glad that I bought it (particularly at a Thanksgiving weekend 43% discount from MSRP), but I would caution purchasers not to expect too much from either "Lane assist" or Navteq FM traffic at this stage of their development.

Wonderful Product i got this about a week ago and i love it, wonderful, just turn on and your off. Excellent features and on the money. good price too. 2 thumbs up.
Just terrible The device does not pick up a GPS signas. It didn't work in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and San Francisco. Its ridiculous. I got sent a 2nd device and it never picked up a signal. What kind of QA do they don these products. I am now getting a 3rd device and this time they are not giving a new one but repairing it. Pathetic. Stay away this product is junk.
Works great I like my Navigon potable GPS. Never failed me yet and the display is crystal clear. This is my first navigation system and I think it is better than my friends of other brands. The display is excellent, clear and easy to read.

Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location.

Lane GuidanceWith the new Lane Guidance feature built into the nüvi 7x5 series, you'll never question which lane you should be driving in again. It provides you with a view of what lane you should be in for upcoming turns. And with the 3D Lane Assist Junction View, you'll be able to see a photo-realistic screen that shows you both the road detail as well as the signs as you will see them on the road. The signs that aren't needed for navigation are faded compared to the appropriate lane signage.
Integrated Traffic ReceiverSteer clear of traffic with an integrated GTM 20 FM traffic receiver designed to receive alerts about traffic tie-ups and road construction that might lie ahead on your route. No subscriptions or additional hardware needed. Just open the box, turn it on, and get instant access to traffic information--the traffic updates are free for the life of the device.
All you have to do is simply touch the screen to view traffic details and you'll be ready to detour around any problem area. And if you end up missing a turn, or you're forced into a detour that is not relayed through the traffic receiver, the nüvi's sophisticated automatic routing will get you back on track in no time.
In most areas, the traffic broadcasts are continuous--there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.
HotFix Satellite PredicitonGarmin's HotFix capability automatically calculates and stores satellite locations, greatly reducing satellite acquisition time so that you can turn the unit on and get going. With HotFix, your nüvi remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off.
Multi-Destination RoutingThis lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about). A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.
Where Am I? Where's My Car?The nüvi 7x5 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where’s my car?" At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, all nüvi 7x5s automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.

Other Features
The 3D Buildings feature helps you navigate by landmark.
The 3D Buildings feature is able to reference the buildings displayed on the map as well. Some buildings will be grey images "extruded" from the map, other buildings will be life like representations of the actual property.
With Automatic Time Zone Transition, you'll never have to remember to set the time as you travel. When the unit acquires a position fix, it automatically sets the unit to the correct time zone.

New -- HotFix™ – aka: Satellite Ephemeris Data Prediction
Your GPS device locks onto transmissions from a dedicated network of Satellites in order to determine its position. Until the device gets a "lock" on three satellites, it can't effectively navigate, so decreasing the time it takes for your device to get "satellite lock" is always a goal of GPS manufacturers. With Garmin's new HotFix technology, your Garmin GPS remembers the position of all satellites it is tracking when you turn it off, and calculates their movements in order to predict where they should be the next time you turn it on. This gives the device an idea of where it should look for satellites, and dramatically decreases the time it takes for your Garmin to get its position and start navigating. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off.Using Garmin’s unique Web site — Garmin Connect Photos — users can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google’s Panoramio photo sharing community and download them to the nüvi for a richer navigation experience using pictures as a guide.

New -- 3D Terrain Maps
Shaded relief terrain maps show you when to expect hills, mountains, forests and other natural features. Topographic terrain maps are viewable when using the 2D "birds-eye" view.
