Review on Garmin nüvi 2495LMT GPS Navigator: Portable 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Device with Lifetime Map & Traffic Updates by Vincent Blitz

I paid extra for this device to get voice recognition and traffic alerts. No job is worth a flip. Navigation works well. If I were just rating the navigation it would be four stars but the navigation is the same as cheaper models. Speech recognition recognizes commands, but not spontaneous inputs such as numbers and letters. Also, he will think the conversations are commands, come to life and start talking to you - I turned it off. Traffic alerts constantly warn of non-existent problems, and for that you need to accept ads - I turned them off. Bad choose. Get it cheaper.
