Garmin nüvi 2557LMT
This 5-inch GPS navigator from Garmin has a touchscreen that is very responsive and brighter than a lot of the competition. It’s also got a dual orientation feature so you can use it horizontally or vertically. The Garmin Nüvi 2557LMT has a design and feel that is very similar to a smartphone, it slips easily into a pocket. When it’s mounted in its dock, however, you receive live traffic updates. This lets you know where the delays are and roughly how long of a delay it is going to be. While the glossy glass screen picks up the sun’s glare, the overall design is well planned and its ability to direct you can’t be faulted. The 2557LMT model feature lifetime map updates for North America. That means you can update the maps up to 4 times per year for the life of the device at no charge. This Garmin GPS can be found for the excellent price of $199 from online retailers.
