Works well in portable GPS navigators

Great value GPS. Easily updated and won't let us get lost. This is a good quality, easy to use GPS. We love it, and with lifetime updates, you can't go wrong. It also has an extra memory slot so it can store lots of maps if you buy a 16GB card.

Pros
  • Easy Setup
Cons
  • Factor Set

Great GPS for the money

Got a Garmin 215 as a gift a few years ago and was very happy with it so when it came time to buy an extra GPS I didn't even think about other brands, the Garmin 255 is a great GPS on a budget. It's easy to program and use, and the device I bought came with lifetime map updates so I know I can keep up with the times.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Annoying

Garmin 255 with lifetime map updates

Perfect size with all the essentials. As mentioned, it also includes lifetime map updates. I updated the maps and firmware yesterday with no problems. Both lasted about an hour. The same GPS is available in Revain without lifetime maps. People please buy this with lifetime cards; this is the best offer. If you don't need all the bells and whistles you probably won't need, this GPS is what you need.

Pros
  • Positives only
Cons
  • No paint required

Couldn't be happier

After reading other reviews we were convinced that this would be the best option for us. Never owned or bought a GPS. We knew we didn't want the most expensive or the cheapest model. Shortly after purchasing the GPS, my family and I took a vacation to a place in Oklahoma that we had never been to. The GPS led us straight to our destination. We were very pleased with the accuracy and the device's ability to get you to your destination even if you made a wrong turn. I'm sure the more expensiveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • So so

Great first GPS for sports and wearable GPS

My husband finally decided to buy a GPS. After reading the reviews and trying a few at Best Buy, I settled on the Garmin Nuvi 255. I wanted ease of use with no frills, and the Nuvi 255 fits the bill perfectly. We were leaving town to visit relatives the day we received our purchase, so I opened the box and snapped the lid shut. mount, plugged into an outlet in the car and attached to the windshield with the included suction cup mount. The nรผvi 255 quickly found a satellite signal, so I enteredโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Hard to say

Love at first sight and cards for life

I just received my 255 and haven't used it yet but wanted to say how happy I am with this size. It's much easier to manage and take with me, which is what I plan to do, rather than installing it in a car. However, I think it would be visible from the dashboard if that's what you prefer. Box of lifetime cards. The Nuvi 255 arrived quickly enough for me to compare them and I found the 255 much easier to work with. Based on the posts here I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get Lifetime Mapsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Band
