Amazon.com Product Description
This is a factory refurbished GPS. Factory refurbished generally means that the unit has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the navigator back to like new conditions. Some GPS may contain cosmetic blemishes.
For peace of mind on the go, nüvi 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. This portable navigator is priced right and ultra-easy to use.
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
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.

This is my second Garmin, only because I gave the first one to my daughter. What a wonderful time saving gadget.
Best Bang for your buck handsdown! April 27, 2010
oldgrumpycarpenter (Seattle, Wa)
It is very diffucult to find a better value for a GPS. This little workhorse does everything all the more expensive ones do without some bells and whistles. I can tell you from experience that bluetooth phone capabilities are a waste of money as well as traffic which is often innacurate. The 255 is the best bang for the buck available of any GPS manufacturer. I paid $70 for a refurbished unit which has been flawless! The lifetime map updates are under $90 at the garmin website. for $150 I have the only GPS I will ever need. I previously owned a Garmin 200 which was stolen out of my truck, which was a good little GPS as well. I have used Tom Tom and Magellan which I found to be much more difficult to use and get signals. My Garmin locks on to satellites immediatly, and automatically re-routes immediatly when you get off course. You can't lose with the Garmin! There are no negitives in this unit! For under $100 there is no comparison on the market today! You will not be dissapointed. They should really give a Guarantee! because these units are as good as it gets, hands down. You could spend 4 times as much on another brand and it wouldn't compare to this accurate reliable unit. I have yet to be dissapointed with any aspect of the unit. You can even use google maps with The Garmin Map program and make and download any route you wish with added waypoints etc.and save and load them with an SD card. I can see where this could be usefull for delivery drivers etc., but I have yet to use the program. It is easier for me to just map out a route and then program in each stop as a favorite and then just punch in wherever I need to go! Garmin is so intuitive you really don't need to do anything but punch Go! and you are there! For the average Driver other than (A delivery Driver or a Trucker) this is the only way to go. You will not be dissapointed.
just like new April 25, 2010

Item is just like new, i don't know what could be different, besides the price. Takes a long time (multiple nights) to get the whole map update, but worked out fine, just had to use it a day, then hook it up to the computer until it lost battery power then do it again the next night and so on, i think it took 3 nights all together, but it works like a charm in the car.
