The
Garmin Nuvi 855 remains the best GPS for the money for
the fourth month at a
price of $128.00. This unit has virtually all the
features of a top of the line GPS plus its voice recognition lets you
give it verbal commands so you do not have to take your eyes
off the road to operate it.
During early August the Nuvi 855 sold in the $137.54 - 140.82
price range.
At the end of August, Amazon cut the price to $128.00 which is the lowest
price I have ever seen for the 855. This is
even lower than the price for a refurbished unit.
Take advantage of this
low price now before it rises. Who know how
long the price will stay this low?
I purchased a Nuvi 855 in June and I have been very impressed with
the benefits of this unit for the low price.
Let me
tell you about my Nuvi 855.
