Garmin nuvi 255Wnüvi 255 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D or 3-D maps and and smooth map updates as you navigate.

I finally got fed up with my Road Angel 6000 sat-nav. It was becoming a source of great amusement for all my Tom-Tom owning friends, and it was indeed becoming hard to defend it, especially when it tells you to leave the A303 at Andover for no apparent reason when it's both the shortest and quickest route to north Dorset for me. It then tells you to leave the Lightwater exit of the M3 just to rejoin the motorway after going round the roundabout and down the ramp again - I can only assume that because of a left-hand curve to the motorway, going up the ramp and down it again is 6" less! It's either that or the day their map database was set in ... Read the complete review

My garmin satnav was recently bought for the relatively cheap price of £120 and it appeared to an obvious choice for someone who wanted a satnav for a cheap price but noit one that lacks in features and build quality. The satnav itself looks similar to other garmin satnavs but more importantly has a larger than average screen size of x inches. Thickness wise it is no mac book air but isn't difficult to carry for small handed people and its weight at 908 grams makes it easier to carry in comparison to some competitors. The features include all that is expected of a traditional sat nav including options to take the shortest or fastest route among ... Read the complete review

This sat nav will not let you down if your simply looking for a sat nav that does uk and european mapping. Being a garmin it will last and will not give you any niggly problems that maybe a tomtom will give you. I have never had a problem with this, but have heard of peoples screens freezing, just to be fixed by pressing the reset button at the bottom. The actual operation of the unit couldnt be simpler, you just press a few button and then your ready to go, it has full postcode search so will get you to excatly where you want to go and this has never let me down whilst travelling in the uk. Another good feature is that it has an sd card slot, allowing for ... Read the complete review
