User Reviews about Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

I purchased this item for a friend of mine who used my similar unit one evening in a strange area and raved about it and asked me to help him purchase one. He loves it! -- Review for a friend

The product is great. My husband loves it. It is everything we needed. -- Excellent product

I upgraded to this Garmin from an old Magellan. I wanted something with text to speech, which this 225w model has. It also has a nice screen size and provides accurate directions. I am still getting used to the screen, but it can be a little confusing to read sometimes when driving. It is very easy to use in terms of finding points of interest and typing in your destination. Overall, I am very satisfied with this unit. -- Nice Upgrade
