Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain.

OK product
I did not like the Garmin Nuvi 255W gps 4.3. The screen was very hard to see in the sun and the voice directions came on just before I had to take an exit. Took it to California and had a problem because it took my off the Main Highway on a secondary Rd. Also tried to return it and was told I could not.

Low cost
OK for the price, you get what you pay for. The only issue I have had was when I first got it the voice quit working, turned it off and it worked and the next day the same thing, has not happen again been about two weeks. And now that I have seen the NUVI 3790 I realize I should have paid more and bought it, my suggestion buy the NUVI 3790LMT

Great Deal for the Price
I bought this for my son and he loves it. He said it is better than the one that was stolen from him, so we also bought the carrying case so he can take it out of the vehicle. It also tells what speed you're going. Great Product and Price.

Works fine
Basic unit, fairly easy to program. We have not had any issues with bad routes. For a basic GPS, price and quality were great.
