You can’t choose the keyboard type
Being an entry level model, the Nüvi 255WT does not offer all of the available options found in more expensive models. It’s content with a simple ABCD-type tactile keyboard and does not give us the choice of a QWERTY configuration. Those used to their computer keyboard may be a bit lost when entering addresses.
A copy of the Garmin Nüvi 255T, the Nüvi 255WT differs by its wider screen (hence the W).  Indeed it has a 4.3 inch (10.9 cm) diagonal in 16/9 format enabling better readability.

For more information, please refer to our test of the Garmin Nüvi 255T.
