The Garmin Nuvi 255 Satellite Navigation System with Full EU Mapping is an excellent product, supurb value for money.  This product is excellent to plan the route with a final point of arrival and intermediate points of interest. Planning with postcodes is possible.

Vocal indications at crossings and direction changes are very accurate and timely. The details on screen are very easily readable.

There are avoidance options according to the kind of trip you’re embarking on: offroad, motorways, tolls.

At any point, it is possible to deviate from the original route to find a petrol station, for instance, out of the list of the nearest spots available in the area. This is extremely convenient, for instance to avoid the extortionate prices of fuel on motorways.

It does indeed underestimate consistently the time a route will take because it assumes the car always run at the speed limit whereas this is rather not the case in real. In any case, the estimated time of arrival is updated at all time according to the speed of the car, which is monitored by the gps, and appears on screen.

Like the rest of the nüvi 2×5-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.
