I really like the proximity of this to the current speed display. Speed limit icons display the speed limit for many roads, as shown above. You can see all this in the screen shot below. Moving this to the upper left freed up the bottom left data field which now shows your current speed. New to the map screen are the direction of and distance to next turn indicator in the upper left corner of the screen, which when pressed brings up a detailed turn preview as the unit speaks the next turn instructions. None of the features below are found on this unit’s predecessor, the Garmin nuvi 250W. ![]() The next portion of this review is adapted from there.Īdvanced features found on the Garmin nuvi 255W The 255W is the nicest model in the series, which I dubbed the best entry-level GPS on the market in my hands-on review of the nuvi 205W. I’ve been very impressed with the nuvi 2×5 series. Meanwhile, the nuvi 205W is identical to the 255W, except that you lose text-to-speech and maps of Alaska.Going the other direction, drop down to the nuvi 255 and you’ll get the 255W’s feature set on a smaller, 3.5″ screen.Or choose the nuvi 255WT to add lifetime traffic.Step up to the Garmin nuvi 265W to add Bluetooth for hands free calling.It also has text-to-speech, so you’ll hear “drive one-half mile, then turn left on Oak Street.” instead of just “drive one-half mile, then turn left.” Related units The 255W sports a 4.3″ wide touch screen (hence the “W”) and includes pre-loaded maps of the U.S.
