Navigate With Ease
nüvi 255 comes ready to go right
out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps,
including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with
hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. It even announces the
name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes
off the road. Simply touch the color screen to enter a
destination, and nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice
directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and and smooth map redraw rates as
you navigate. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded
contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the
surrounding terrain. In addition, nüvi 255 accepts
custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and
safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of
upcoming POIs. With HotFix™ satellite prediction, nüvi
calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
Take It With You
Like the rest of the nüvi
2x5-series, nüvi 255 sports a sleek, slim design and fits
comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable
lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or
foot. With its "Where Am I?" emergency locator, you always know
your location. Simply tap the screen to get your exact latitude
and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection,
and the closest hospitals, police stations and fuel stations.
Go Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the
beginning. nüvi 255 includes many travel tools including JPEG
picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency
converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. With
photo navigation, you can download pictures from
Garmin Connect™ Photos and navigate to them. The 255 is
compatible with optional enhanced MSN® Direct content
(subscription and receiver required) and our free
Garmin Garage where
you can download animated vehicles that show your location on
the map. It also comes with Garmin Lock™, an anti-theft feature.
Enhance your travel experience with optional plug-in microSD
cards such as Garmin Travel Guides for detailed data on
attractions. |
