This page contains information about installing the latest Garmin Nüvi 255W driver downloads using the Garmin Driver Update Tool.
Garmin Nüvi 255W drivers are tiny programs that enable your GPS hardware to communicate with your operating system software. Maintaining updated Garmin Nüvi 255W software prevents crashes and maximizes hardware and system performance. Using outdated or corrupt Garmin Nüvi 255W drivers can cause system errors, crashes, and cause your computer or hardware to fail. Furthermore, installing the wrong Garmin drivers can make these problems even worse.
Recommendation: If you are inexperienced with updating Garmin device drivers manually, we highly recommend downloading the Garmin Nüvi 255W Driver Utility. This tool will download and update the correct Garmin Nüvi 255W driver versions automatically, protecting you against installing the wrong Nüvi 255W drivers.
Global positioning system units – such as the Garmin unit you keep in your car – can make driving to unknown locations as simple as cruising your own neighborhood. The unit determines your exact position using GPS satellites and compares your location to its stored maps to determine points of interests around you – whether roads, restaurants or rivers. With accurate maps, the unit will provide concise instructions to reach your destination, but if its maps are out of date, it could send you the wrong way down a one-way street, use inefficient routes or call for a turn where none exists. Garmin gives you the chance to download a free map update with the purchase of a new unit to ensure accurate instructions and proper performance of your new device.

Connect your Garmin GPS to your computer using the USB cable provided with the device.
