Garmin 255W GPS Refurbished

I purchased a refurbished Garmin 255W unit after several days of agony trying to decide if the price discount would be worth the risk of a refurb unit. I am very pleased. The Nuvi 255W Refurbished has no blemishes that I can find. I was surprised that it was loaded with the 2010 version of maps. I hope everyone else will be so lucky. I love the "text-to-speech"....once i figured out how to select it in the language mode. I read several complaints regarding lack of volume....the key to having adequate volume is to place the unit so the speaker (which is in the back of the unit) is not covered or muffled. A front speaker would make the unit require more space. I'm glad I have the 4.3" size also, wouldn't recommend anything less. The package did not have a user manual but can be downloaded in pdf format from Garmin....a cursory review of the manual with the unit in hand is very helpful.

Refurbished Garmin 255W GPS Technical Details

 

Nuvi 255W Refurbished Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description This is a refurbished Garmin 255W GPS. 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.

Garmin's nüvi 255W improvesupon its 200-series predecessors by adding top-of-the-line features such as FM traffic updates or MSN Direct content to an entry-level line. But Garmin is also introducing some significant improvements with this new series, like a predictive technology that provides faster satellite lock, a redesigned screen with more information, terrain maps, and an exciting new photo navigation feature. The 255W adds complete maps for North America and Text-to-Speech, so you get turn by turn spoken directions with the real names of streets (e.g. "turn left in 50 feet at Nebraska Way", rather than merely "turn left in 50 feet"). The Refurbished 255W also offers a wide 4.3-inch (diagonal) screen that displays 70% more of the road around you.

 

Important Product Information: This device features a "screen lock" feature. This is a standard feature on all nüvi 2x5 and 7x5 Garmin units. If you slide the "Power" key to the right, it will lock the screen and prevent any accidental touches. Once the screen lock feature is engaged, the screen will go black/gray after about 15 seconds to save power on the device. To unlock the screen, just slide the "Power" key to the center position. This feature is really targeted for "Pedestrian" mode so that a user can put the device in his or her pocket/purse and quickly unlock the screen instead of powering on/off continuously. For more information, see page 5 of the product manual.

Perfect for kids headed off to college

I was hesitant to buy a refurbished garmin 255W GPS system but I couldn't be more happy with this purchase. I actually bought two; one for me (to play with) and another for my son who is going off to college soon. The display is large and easy to read, day or night, but not so large that it interferes with my view. Setting an address is super easy and intuitive. I was really impressed with it's simplicity. The additional information on the screen is all that I could wan, including how far to the next turn, current speed, estimated time of arrival. The screen isn't too busy or distracting. If I had a complaint, it would be that the voice could be louder. Just a little hard to hear over the radio and general discussion in the car. I'd recommend this for first time GPS owners as easy to use and simple to read.
