CAN IT BE USED TO UPDATE MY 255LM NUVI?

As a side note, I am able to successfully update my Nuvi 1450 with this Garmin USB cable. Just be aware that it is only 38 inches long.

According to the Garmin website this cable works for your gps. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/discontinued/nuvi-255/prod13428.html

When I purchased this Garmin USB cable, I wasn't sure it would fit into my Nuvi 1450. Unfortunately, the product description from Amazon does not provide any answers on what particular models the cable fits into. I took a careful look at the picture and took a chance on buying it (the price was cheap enough). Fortunately, the USB cable did fit into my Nuvi 1450. Other reviewers may have the answer to your question about your 255LM Nuvi. D. Miller answered on 11-4-2013 that the cable worked great on his Nuvi 255. Matt answered on 1-14-2014 that his cable worked on his Nuvi 255W. I am not sure if this cable will work on your 255LM Nuvi--I am not familiar with it. You may have to do what I did and take a chance.

Probably but I never actually bought the item because I responded to another poster that said before you buy one of these things check the accessories that came with your digital camera if you have one. I did and I had the cable. This is my 2nd Garmin and all the cables from the first one fit the second one. Hope this helps.

I have a 255, 255w's smaller brother with identical features, and have been using it for over a year. I love it, but once you get your free map update online, you have to buy future updates fron Garmin at hefty prices. It is cheaper to buy a new unit than pay for lifetime updates($119). A onetime update is @ $60. Though I love my 255, it's a pretty stiff toll. I'm thinking of trying something different, because there has been some new road construction near me, and my current maps don't always suit.

As far as I can tell, GTM 25 will not work for nuvi 2595 LMT but you can try a newer model.

Hi Lynda, You download the update program to your home computer. It will tell you when updates are available. Plug your Nuvi into your computer and follow the prompts. It will update automatically. I must warn you though, the updates take hours. I do mine overnight. You might have to add a memory chip to your Nuvi to get a complete update. I did, but it all works well. Good luck.

If you have purchased the Nuvi with lifetime updates you will need to log into Garmin and connect your Nuvi to the site to update all maps which will have road changes it does not automatically update. You can purchase an HD live traffic & automatic updater from Garmin. The new Garmin line of GPS does offer it and updates automatically.

It is compatible. The 2555LMT, may have a built in traffic receiver. You can verify this buy selecting settings, device, about. If you have traffic info, it is built in, if not the external cable will be needed.

Yes - and as an update this is still working great for me. Keep in mind though - the traffic updates are through your power cable supplied by nuvi. Its the cable itself that has the traffic receiver in it. So this will charge it and will position it but if you want traffic updates you have to use the original cable connected to a power source.

It works in my older Nuvi 1300LMT and according to: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/automotive/previous%20models/nuvi-2495lmt/prod97243.htmlyour model can accept MicroSD cards as well like my older model. TL:DR...YES

I updated it to load the latest info. I guess it may work as long as you use the original outdated info and software and never allow it to update.

Sorry John, I do not know. But I did find a link that you may want to check out--http://www.gomadic.com/Garmin.html?device_name=nuvi+2457+%2F+2497+LMT. Good luck.

Yes. Have not tried using that feature much. The Nuvi was for my husband's car.

I am not sure. I tried a mini sd card but the nuvi 40 did not seem to recognize the card.I would call Garmin. I have had good success when I call.Judy

Maybe. If not you can easily update it. It will probably prompt you to do so when connected to a wireless connection

I guess it would - mine is a Nuvi 255w, and I would guess there's not a huge difference between that and the 265w. The card is supposed to work in all Nuvi's.

If your nuvi is a newer model, the traffic receiver is internal, and this cable will work. Older models require the GTM series of cables to get traffic information. If your unit has the internal traffic receiver, go to Settings: Device: About. If the third line on this screen says something like "traffic receiver: internal", _ANY_ USB Micro cable will get traffic information when you are close to major cities.

You can use it to charge your Nuvi, but it will not allow you to connect to your computer in order to allow for upgrades to the OS or map upgrades.
