Customers are saying

Customers value the nüvi 55LM 5" GPS for its ease of use, lifetime map updates, and accurate navigation. Many appreciate the screen size and find it to be a good value for the price. While some users noted that the battery life could be improved, the positive feedback on features like lane assist and overall functionality outweighs this concern.

    My last GPS was a Garmin and I loved it. So when I decided to get another one I figured the features could only have gotten better. Wrong! The text visual (speed limit etc.) are now smaller and there is no way to adjust the size. The unit frequently forgets to mention a turn is coming up until I am driving right by it. My last Garmin never had any trouble finding satellites, this one is always telling me it can't find them. Maybe this one is a lemon, but I would go for a different model if I were you.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thank you for your review. We'd love to take this opportunity to address your concerns.

      As mentioned, the text size can not currently be adjusted. however you can send a feature request for this to our design team at http://www.garmin.com/ideas for review and possible use in the future.

      There are several factors that can affect satellite acquisition, such as having a clear view of the sky, up to date system software, or if there is a protective coating on your vehicle's windshield. Other electronic devices may also cause interference.

      Please visit the following FAQ article which details steps to try for satellite acquisition, as well as updating your nüvi's software:
      http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/simpleCase.htm?caseId={225ad0a0-6c2d-11e0-6b19-000000000000}&kbName=garmin

      Updating the software on your nüvi may also help with the delayed navigational prompts.

      If the prompts are still delayed, or your nüvi is unable to acquire a satellite signal, please visit http://www.garmin.com/support to contact our customer care team.
