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.

    Love this GPS. Purchased it for my daughter for college. Although she has a gps on the iPhone, I wanted her to have this one to mount and not be distracted with phone, music and talking. Love all the cool features, speed limits, school zones, food, rest rooms displayed all along the route. Good choice.

    I bought this GPS for a road trip vacation from Kansas to Texas. The GPS worked great, finding all the different locations and addresses. The Up Ahead feature was good when evaluating my remaining gas and locating gas statons. The price was good, and it came with the life time map update. The Best Buy cashier also took the time to locate a price match when I thought it rang up incorrectly.

    The Nuvi is great for showing your present location, keeping you on track to your destination and providing many vital trip statistics along the way. This is my third upgrade and I continue to be very impressed.

    I used my previous Garmin on a California to Ohio road trip and knew it needed upgraded. I was right and this new garmin with updates for life of garmin made more sense to purchase than updating my older smaller one. Maybe a $20 difference. Very happy with notifications of school zones and faster speed

    I purchased this Garmin to replace an older model. I recently used it on a long trip. I couldn't have been happier with its operation and the new features it has. I would recommend this model to anyone.

    Good GPS with lifetime (mine I hope;-)) maps but no traffic. I have a new Toyota with factory traffic app so it matters not. Quick to re-calculate directions if I head off in my own interpretation of the best route. Good screen resolution and color. Information is easy to update online.

    Bang For The Buck

    This is my second Garmin GPS unit. This unit is like a rocket ship compared to my old one. Love the lifetime maps. Great screen and audio. I feel it is about the best bang for the buck out there, when it comes to GPS. Really enjoy this unit. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but I really never needed them with my old GPS either, so this one fits my needs.

    Used many times to find local destinations in addition to using for vacation trips. Large, easy to read screen and functions are user friendly. Like being able to download various voices to use for audio driving instructions; some are kind of fun, but can be annoying if used regularly.

    With the lifetime maps I can't help but enjoy that this GPS has pictures of highway signs and lanes to use during a drive. I prefer my phone only be used for calls so this GPS gives me the freedom to not use the cell for multiple tasks .
