For peace of mind on the go, nuvi 255 leads the way with voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions that speak street names and optional MSN® Direct to get you there on time and keep you informed. It’s packed with millions of destinations and maps for North America or Europe. Like the rest of the compact nuvi 2×5-series, this portable navigator is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
Navigate With Ease
nuvi 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 nuvi 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, nuvi 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, nuvi calculates your position faster to get you there quicker.
Take It With You
Like the rest of the nuvi 2×5-series, nuvi 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

Got something to say?
Hello, I received the Nuvi 255 from my wife for Christmas and I must say I really enjoy it. I am a Police Officer and it is so simple to place in my police unit prior to my tour I have been using it everyday/night at work. It is a wonderful tool to have while on duty. I have one question, am I able to download my own photos onto the unit or can you only use the geotagged photos on the panoramio site?
Sincerely,
Anthony J Del Perco
