I like the voice feature. The price was right. I thought it came with bluetooth. I'm really disappointed that it didn't have elevation/altitude. Wish it was water resistant so I could use it on my bike. Rating: 4 / 5 It’s pretty easy to use. I like the voice feature. The price was right. I thought it came with bluetooth.

Updating the nuvi 850, the 855 adds junction view, lane assist and a speed limit indicator. It is also compatible with the third generation of MSN Direct services (an optional add-on), including doppler radar and flight status. Comparing the nuvi 855 and 7×5 series Despite these improvements, the 855 does not include all the features found in the 7×5 series. It is missing the following: 3-D buildings A2DP Bluetooth ecoRoute Recent cities and streets folders that speed searches (though these aren't really necessary if you're using voice commands) Customizable data fields On the other hand, the 855 has the following features which are not present on the 7×5 series: Removable battery Dual speakers Voice command Custom avoidances (avoid specified streets or areas) Backup camera input This is unfortunate - there really isn't one top of the line Garmin nuvi. If you want the best, you'll need to choose between a 7×5 series and an 8×5 series unit. Compare prices on the Garmin nuvi 855 One other note; the nuvi 885T adds Bluetooth and an MSN Direct receiver to the 855's feature set. Since the models are so similar, much of the information below is taken directly from my hands-on review of the 885T.

Comparing the nuvi 855 and 7×5 series

Despite these improvements, the 855 does not include all the features found in the 7×5 series. It is missing the following:

3-D buildings
A2DP Bluetooth
ecoRoute
Recent cities and streets folders that speed searches (though these aren’t really necessary if you’re using voice commands)
Customizable data fields
On the other hand, the 855 has the following features which are not present on the 7×5 series:

Removable battery
Dual speakers
Voice command
Custom avoidances (avoid specified streets or areas)
Backup camera input
This is unfortunate – there really isn’t one top of the line Garmin nuvi. If you want the best, you’ll need to choose between a 7×5 series and an 8×5 series unit.

I, however, just downloaded Navigator to my Verizon cell phone. . . I love it. It works just like Garmin, only better. I feel it is easier to use, and has more features that I like and find helpful. It runs 9. 99 a month, and it is free with certain calling plans. I was going to buy a Garmin for myself. . . but not now. Just thought I would throw that out there.
