Free Lifetime Map Updates
Roads change. Businesses open and close. nüvi 55LM enables you to keep your device up-to-date with the latest maps¹ that Garmin has to offer, with no fees. Map updates also contain fresher points of interest, so your nüvi can give results that are more relevant and have greater accuracy. With increased road detail and more points of interest, new maps could be larger in size; as a result, map updates may require a microSD™ card (sold separately).
Navigate Complex Interchanges with Ease
nüvi 55LM has lane assist with junction view that displays upcoming junctions and uses brightly colored arrows to indicate your proper lane.
Easier to Search, Quicker to Find
nüvi 55LM has a search field that makes it easy to find addresses and millions of points of interest, in a single place. Now, simply enter a category (like “pizza”), an entire address (“1234 Sycamore Lane, Anytown, USA”) or a proper name (“Starbucks”) and nüvi 55LM quickly returns your results.
More Information Right on Your Map
No need to search for a hard-to-read or nonexistent sign; with a glance at nüvi 55LM, you’ll see your current street. nüvi also displays speed limit, current speed and estimated arrival time.
With the Up Ahead feature, you can easily find places you want – like restaurants, gas stations, ATMs and shops – without leaving the map. Best of all, Up Ahead is customizable, so you can always know the location of favorite destinations along your route.
You can access Up Ahead and other useful information from the map tools panel. Conveniently remain on your map screen and still find places Up Ahead, change the volume and more.
School Zone Warnings
nüvi 55LM issues an audible alert and displays an onscreen warning whenever you approach a school zone.
One-stop Device Management
Use Garmin Express to keep your nüvi up-to-date. Garmin Express makes it easy to update maps and software, transfer favorites to and from devices, and install free custom vehicles and voices.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Later, I was passing through the Bay care in Calif. I had wanted to avoid the more traveled roads, but was so tired, I did not want to try to remap it myself and just let Garmin tell me what exits and roads to pull on to get through it and I did just fine. So in general, I think if you follow Garmins instructions, you will still get to your destination. But as mentioned above, if you need one deviation from your trek, you may need to be vigilant and ignore Garmin for a minute. I liked that the screen shows you things such as gas stations you will be passing. Came in handy in Texas as I was starting to look for one and now didn't have to worry about passing an exit before I noticed a gas station sign. They can also tell you some of the eateries you will be passing as well.
I did use the Find a Hotel feature when I was getting close to stopping. I used one certain hotel at each of my stops along the way. Twice, Garmin did not pick up that this hotel was in the area, even though my hotel app was saying it was close by. So I was able to put in the hotels address (from my iPhone app) and Garmin successfully brought me to this hotel each time.
This GPS certainly helped me have a piece of mind while I was traveling. I hope that it continues to work for a while. I travel for work and this has proved to be very useful. I warn that this GPS should be fiddled with while your car is parked, and not in motion. I did have a hard time trying to find a spot on my car window to put the GPS to where it was either not obstructing my view, or not convenient to too at while driving. My dashboard is fairly straight and had a ridge. It was perfect to rest the Garmin on, with the part that you use to hang it on the window as a rest. It did not obstruct my view and easy to look at while in motion. On curves, it did slide a bit, but that was not bothersome to me.
This is very easy to use and does a great job of finding even very rural roads in out-of-the-way areas. The included suction cup mount works great and keeps the unit on my windshield even while traveling in excess of 100MPH on rough/bumpy roads. The screen is easy to see and read at night and in direct sunlight, which is great. I use the unit on a daily basis and some days end up responding to dozens of addresses. It really does a great job of finding most addresses within 30 seconds or less. The voice navigation is loud and clear enough even to hear over my sirens, and the screen is the perfect size to be able to glance down and see what is coming before you get to your turns. The fact that it also tells you what road you are on at all times as well as the nearest cross-street is also very helpful to me, especially when assisting a local PD in a town I am unfamiliar with.
There are a few negatives though.... On really hot days the suction cup fails and the unit will fall off the windshield. This really isn't a big issue though, as I have had the GPS for about 6 months and it has only come off the window 2 or 3 times when parked in direct sunlight on super hot days. Another issue is sometimes the GPS will send you on strange routes. It calculates the most direct path based upon mileage, which sometimes means you will be sent down a single-lane dirt road that actually takes you longer to get to an address than if you stayed on the main roads. There have also been a few times the GPS was unable to find an address and I have had to use my back-up paper map. That being said, it has found 99% of the addresses I have typed in.
Overall this is a great GPS and I would recommend it to anybody whether you use it for work like myself or for going on vacations or driving around town. This is a lot of GPS for the price, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if I needed to. Several of my co-workers have bought the same one after seeing how well mine has worked. Excellent product.
