Garmin nüvi 55LM Automobile Portable GPS Navigator

I love being able to view where I'm going and not have to hold my phone. Plus the convenience of the Garmin talking me to my destination is awesome.

I got this to replace a 255W, and so far, I love it. The screen is large and easy to read. The maps are spot-on, so far as i've been able to determine. There has been a lot of road construction around here in the last two or three years, and the maps do reflect this. Although entering addresses, etc, is slightly different from my older Nuvi's, still very easy to figure out. You enter the road, and it searches for the city. Since i live in Alabama, mine typically searches Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, then you select the one you want. If you need a different state, you can change that also. This costs just a bit more than updating the maps on my older Nuvi's, which i didn't have good luck with. I like it well enough that i bought a second one for my truck.

Bought this weeks ago for my husband and finally used it this past week on a short trip. Would recommend it 100%. Updating the maps is quick and easy. Using this GPS makes traveling a pleasure, cause tarzan not know where tarzan go. ;)

This is my third Garmin GPS. I purchased it because my last one was out of date and too costly to update maps on. This was ready to go out of the box but I updated the maps prior to use anyway. It will save time later. I like the size and brightness of the screen. The one thing I didn't know initially was that I couldn't enter the state- just the city of the address I was searching for. I thought I had a faulty device! After pushing several more buttons, I realized I could choose a geographic area of states from which my city would be searched for.

Bought this just before taking a trip from OK to LA and I'm so glad I did! So much more reliable than using my phones navigation and it only glitches once but luckily it wasn't a major problem. Overall I loved it! Now if I can just get my sister to return it lol
