Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 255 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: 2 Unit, I love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second unit, same model. I have used other brands like tomtom and I wouldn't change Garmin for any other. It's really easy to use, touch screen makes entries very easy. I know there is another model with larger screen but this is screen is more than perfect and this new model even speaks the names of the streets.
I would higly recommend this to anyone
