Garmin Nuvi 855 Review

The Garmin Nuvi 855 is a GPS device that has a superior slim style and plenty of advantageous features. Small and conveniently built so that it can easily slide into one's pocket, purse, or handbag, this super sensitive device has Hotfix(TM) features which make the device supply faster satellite acquisition and clearer, more concise imagery. The Nuvi 855 is fully loaded with maps which are presented on a 4.3 inch wide full color display with touch screen management.

As if the above mentioned attributes were not enough, Garmin has given the Nuvi 855 more than 6 million preloaded points of interest, the ability to plan multiple routes, full speech recognition features so that the driver gets vocal commands and directions, and a number of superlative entertainment options too.

Consumers have come to truly appreciate the Garmin Nuvi 855 because it offers voice activated navigation accompanied by lane assist features. The speech recognition features, superior preloaded maps, anti theft features, and MP3 player, audio book reader, and conversion calculators, makes this GPS, not only handy, but fun.

The one thing that the 855 is lacking is the coveted Bluetooth technologies housed inside other Garmin Nuvi GPS systems. For Bluetooth potential, consumers often look to the other models in the Garmin Nuvi 805 series such as the Nuvi 885T which is housed with wireless Bluetooth® hands free calling management features and options.
