“I was preparing for our annual family road trip this last August, when my wife suggested that we try something new. She had my interest piqued when she recommended that we try using a GPS navigation system this year, instead of the ‘ol road maps that we’ve collected over the years. Besides it really was time to clean all those messed up maps out of the glove box (never could refold those buggers).
So I started doing a little research on different brands and features that are available. I ended up settling on the Garmin nuvi 255w. I chose this particular model because of its affordability and because of some the great features. Not only is it portable but it has some of the beat features that the nuvi line offers, like touch screen and the “Where Am I?” emergency locator.
Let me just say that it sure made getting directions a lot easier than trying to read and refold those old road maps.”
