Garmin nüvi 855 Car GPS Receiver

I have been looking around for a GPS System and found this one! From the minute I opened the box and followed the quick start guide, it took less than 5 minutes to put into the car and set up. The device is awesome and comes with great bonus features. I love the voice activation feature. This eliminates having to touch the device while driving and you can give voice commends to find an address, nearest store, resturant, etc. You can even control the volume by voice commands. It's blue tooth syncable and can even sync with MP3s. The graphics are beyond any GPS device I've seen. I would highly recommend this device. The price is well worth it! I'm so happy I held out on purchasing a device. This one is fabulous!

For a sight impared, this user friendly voice activated device is a joy to use!!
I returned a Tom Tom and another Garmin 255 that did not work and another odd brand I do not remember.
The Tom Tom was NOT a friendly thing to try to use for some one working by feel and position.

This Garmin 855 very user friendly and opens my world to freely move about without assistance. I call tell it to make choices I could not imput otherwise - and I have had no problems from right out of the box.

Now I can walk great sistances and find places and return.
I will not always have to have some one pre-program it for me.
I can take care of my self!
That is the best of what this is for me!!!

If Garmin were really smart - they would make one JUST for people like me.

I was extreemly pleased wit the delivery that was freely added by the seller!

It is very capable. I got a one-time free update of map and information data from Garmin. Very easily installed. I bought a factory remanufactured unit because it has the same warranty as a new one and was 20% cheaper. It has worked well and has lots of features. I can put it in my pocket and use it for walking or hiking. The battery only last for 2-3 hours, but you can carry a spare battery. It finds satellites quickly, which means you can turn if off periodically if walking to conserve the battery, and yet very quickly locate where you are when you turn it back on. You can recharge the batter with a usb cable or the cigarette charger cable (both supplied). I would buy it again.

This unit is a replacement for a Street Pilot (GArmin) it is very compact and easy to use with tons of great features. The Ebay price was outstanding. I bought because it was I was looking for for a price I liked. Love It.

voice reconition works (that's a great thing in it'self), great software, fines addresses in new developments and every ware I wish to go, which
is generaly five or six different addresses a day. Good route planning
generaly the shortest way.
The only down side to the whole unit is the ball attachment, but purchased
and all in one stock with the unit clips onto and power cord plugs into
the base which in turn plugs into 12 volt plug in dash. Easy remove and stores out of sight. This adapter is available on ebay just look up Garmin accessories.
I chose the 855 with out bluetooth and mp3 as I don't need there capabilites.
yes I would buy this unit again.

It would NOT speak English...had all kinds of cantonese, burmese, etc. languages on it. I had to send it back to Garmin, they honored the warranty. This dealer must get them from the Far East. Even Garmin couldn't fix it after reset. Very dissatisfied.

great i from Puero Rico and is great turn by turn perfect recomended the languages the store photo music the fm tramiter is super great

I bought the refurbished Garmin nuvi 855 on eBay in advance of a trip to Los Angeles. The critical features were Street Name Voice Navigation, Lane Directions and Speech Recognition. Knowing what lane you should be in (visual) and having the street name announced in advance of a turn made the trip a ton less stressful. We encountered two problems so far with the lane directions. Both happened upon exits where immediate lane changes must be made. Information arrived too late to be useful.

The speech recognition to give the Garmin commands did not work reliably. Perhaps more familiarity with the command set would make it more useful.

The refurbished unit was purchased at a good price and overall I am very happy with the nuvi 855.

I love it! Especially like being able to get directions from one place to another, even if I'm not already there. Voice recognition makes for safer driving.

Great product. Set up was easy and update was pain free. able to use it straight out of the box, but much more impressive after learning some of the spoken commands.

Need a GPS for your car, boat, hike? Can't go wrong with the Garmin

I didnt get to write a feedback on the purchase because I bought it for a gift. But I am told it is wonderfull. The seller is a great ebay seller and will buy again from him.

This product is excellent! The best thing about the garmin 855 is that you don't have to take your eyes off of the road or your hands off of the steering
wheel because you can use voice command. also I like the larger screen.I decided to buy the garmin because I have one that came in our van when we bought it, But the down side to having one in the dash is that you can't use it in your other auto's, So we wanted a unit that we could use in any thing we drove. Thank you for this product.

I have bought this Garmin nuvi 855 GPS.Although it was a refurbished item, but it is as good as new,Many people has the wrong conception of refurbish item is always not good or something is very wrong(i was one one of them before). But this item which i have just bought is definately not those that i have mentioned above.Its user friendly, with better navigation funtion etc.I am pleased to own this GPS, and will definately recommend it to others.

love it, it's perfect!!! it's great GPS, one of the best!!! this makes my second garmin, they are great, wouldn't want to be without mine :)

This is my 4th Garmin car GPS (320 370 and 660). The voice recognition is great. The speaker volume is the worst of all I own, even though there are supposedly 2 speakers - very disappointing! On a recent 1,000+ mile trip it froze up 5 times and twice I only noticed it after I realized I had gone too far! It also seems to use some strange routing, different than my other Garmins, and I've tried them on the same routes - not always the most efficient, but it will get you there eventually! Would I buy again? probably, but I wish Garmin would address the volume issue - it seems to get worse with each 'newer' series, and I drive a convertable, so this is especially important. the volume on the (now) ancient 320 was impressive, this one needs fixed!

Purchased for my spouse who is VERY pleased with the performance and ease of use . . . this is expected as it IS a Garmon product, one of eight (8) I have owned/purchased.

Ended up buying two (2) more for employees at work in outside sales and they are more productive and meet appointments with accuracy = more business!

An avid geocacher, I know GPSr units and I know the BEST is Garmin, be it for automobile travel or off-road trails, my confidence in the product is unwavering.

Great product. Easy to view while driving. Love the function that tells me when to change traffic lanes.

Likes - small size easy to store or take with. Screen size is bigger than the C550 StreetPilot I had. Better details on the maps. The product was well packaged. Registration went very easy with this unit and the 2010 road maps were a free download. I can download Audible books to this unit to make long roadtrips more bearable, however I use my XM Radio for that now so it is just a nice option. Once I get the correct power attachment for the car I can get lifetime traffic for a one time low price.

Dislikes - the volume could be louder. Also I'd like a southern dialect selection versus the vanilla midwest dialect that comes with these. This product did not come with a users manual, although I downloaded one off the Garmin website. I haven't found a lot of custom POIs for this unit. This unit did not come with the traffic connector to monitor traffic problems in the cities. It's an option I'll need to purchase later.

Why I bought it - I travel throughout the midwest a lot. I used my old C550 StreetPilot mainly for the Bluetooth capability but my clients said it was hard to hear. I found someone who wanted the old StreetPilot so I took the opportunity to get a bluetooth earpiece, which works better, and upgrade to a bigger screen. I was enticed by the lifetime traffic capability, just wish the option would have come with this unit.

Over all I'm well satisfied with this unit. No problems, no complaints.

Well I was very happy with the Garmin nuvi 855 and I needed to try it out before I could leave feedback as I have been bitten twice on ebay so I am extra careful now. But this item I have to say that it desreved a 5 star in everything as it was working excellent and was exactly like the seller described had all the features that were mentioned prior bidding and I will buy again from this seller as he is one of the best I have bought from on ebay.

Great GPS. Love the voice recognition. Wish the battery lasted longer for use out side the car. Unit is compact and light. Screen is very readable.

I love the fact that I can "speak" to the Garmin and "she" finds the address I am looking for, or "where am I?" and "she" finds the nearest gas station, restaurant, or police station, i.e.

On a negative note, we lost the satelite signal going through the Lincoln Tunnel from New Jersey to Manhattan, and by the time the signal returned, we had already passed where we were supposed to turn.

Going through tunnels in Pittsburgh, however, did not affect the signal and directions.
