Garmin Nuvi 855 - The Best GPS for the Money

The Garmin Nuvi 855 has voice recognition along with most of the other features that you expect in a top of the line GPS.  Because it has voice recognition and speaks street names, it is the safest GPS available today for the price .  You do not have to take your eyes off the road to navigate with it.

What sets this GPS apart from most other GPS units is its ability to recognize and follow voice commands that you speak to it.  You press the button on the GPS remote that attaches to the steering wheel and the Nuvi 855 listens for and obeys your voice commands.

I own a Nuvi 855, and I can personally vouch for how effective and easy it is to use.

Here are some of the other benefits of the 855:

• Speaks street names so you do not have to take your eyes off the road to read the street name on the display.
• Wide screen display (4.3 diagonal inches) so you can read the display easily.
