Garmin Nuvi 255 Auto / Road GPS

Sometimes simple is better, and for that there is the Garmin Nuvi 255. Text-to-Speech used to be reserved for more full featured GPS devices, but now we start to see it on entry level devices like the 255. While it does not have a widescreen, the smaller size makes it easier to slip into a pocket or purse.Despite the small package and price, the Nuvi 255 can be connected to live traffic systems with an optional traffic receiver. If you only need maps of the USA, consider the Nuvi 205 instead which has the same features but doesnt include map coverage of Canada when sold in the USA.
