Review on 🚫 Discontinued Garmin nüvi 2797LMT 7-Inch Portable Bluetooth Vehicle GPS: Lifetime Maps & Traffic by Chris Lacasse

My first reaction when I switched it on was "wow". that big So bright. So clear. So perfect. Sigh. I saved up and bought a factory refurbished model, the company that sold it has a 100% satisfaction rating from MANY reviewers, plus a free 2 year extended warranty so it seemed like a low risk maneuver. So far, so good. I'm going on a long trip next week so I'll pass a good test then and I'll be within the 45 day 'hassle free' return period. (Thanks, Revain). I used to have a 6 year old non-upgraded Garmin so I was familiar with the basic functions and manoeuvres. Once installed, it didn't take long for me to become familiar with this 2797. I definitely like the voice command feature, no more need to type addresses. My main car already has Bluetooth, but this Garmin should be very handy in our older cars, I'll spare myself commenting on that. I don't typically drive into high traffic areas, so I'm not sure how valuable the traffic feature would be. Hunt them in my old Garmin. Not suitable for driving and hunting. This device is very easy to navigate, it already seems comfortable to me, like an old friend riding a shotgun. I'm glad they came up with a female voice because to me it sounds clearer than a male voice. But my old model had a lot more language options. NBD. I bought a Mountek CD holder for this monster so it doesn't sit on my dash and cover anything. It snaps securely into place, placing the Garmin just below the dash at the perfect height. On my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe it doesn't even block the rear camera/radio screen so it's the perfect spot. It may not work on other machines. But with the Sirius radio I still never use the CD player. My previous model was small and slow, but I didn't realize it until I plugged this one in. Very, very impressive. I wanted a 7 inch screen after seeing a large display in the dashboard of a friend's minivan. I'm an older person and I definitely like things that are easy on my old eyes. will be quite far compared to my old car. I'm too cheap to subscribe to the Hyundai navigation package. Also, the car's screen is smaller than my old Garmin's and I wanted something bigger and more familiar. This is good value for money. User Guide. How difficult can they make it? I printed it out to use while checking in the car. Pretty useless - too small to read but it was so useless anyway, nbd. Luckily, the device seems so easy to use (so far) that even a bad manual can't have too much of a negative impact. Throw it away and go by instinct. Definitely save on printer ink. an instruction manual that was actually readable and helpful?
