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-W 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.
Like the rest of the Nuvi 2x5-series, Garmin Nuvi 255W sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse.
