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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I have to keep it close like a microphone

This is my third GPS receiver and the only thing that makes it different from the others is the voice recognition. I'm having some trouble understanding the addresses when it's installed on the dashboard. In order for it to work more reliably, I have to keep it close like a microphone when I'm speaking. It's actually easy because I use a Garmin wearable friction mount (purchased from Revain.com) to mount it to my Honda Odyssey's dash. The traffic receiver is good too. Traffic was slowed a few times due to traffic jams. The GPS planned a detour route so we didn't get caught in the traffic jam. Updates are free but may take several hours to download; mine takes about five hours. Sometimes the GPS receiver gets stuck and needs to be reset to continue navigating as if nothing happened. While this doesn't happen very often, it can cause you to miss a turn. I have two of these and both have closed multiple times.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Repair
