📱 Garmin Nüvi 2457LMT 4.3-Inch Portable Vehicle GPS with Lifetime Maps and Traffic (No Longer Produced) Review

I was pleased with the appearance of the device. All my cars run perfectly. Setup was easy. In general, I am very satisfied with his work. There are a few caveats. Firstly, although the instructions are generally good, the device seems to be late in providing the instructions to follow them. It pretends to think you are 50 feet from your actual location. In practice, this means that you may miss an important turn. I used to have a Magellan that rang exactly where it was necessary to turn the…

This is my second nuvi, first being the original 350. A plus for me would be the Lane Assist feature to make sure I'm where I need to be. when driving at intersections. I really wish google maps/navigation had this feature. I wasn't sure I would find traffic alerts very useful since I live in a small town, but they helped me stay sane when driving in big cities. Maybe one day I'll be able to use the rerouting feature when I'm stuck in traffic. The software interface is easy to navigate and the…

Experimenting with this in a small town north of Chicago. My son in the right seat drove it while I drove. In many places I didn't expect. We needed body work on our car and he found the body shop by name. One thing that bothered me was that he kept turning the screen off and just using his voice. Even though my son turned the screen brightness to maximum, he turned it back down. Checked the screen timeout for never. After playing around with it, my son ended up sticking with the screen…

Where to start: lots of bugs in my hometown! I got this because my spouse is new to my hometown where we moved to - he has MANY, MANY FAULTS (yes, on old streets). You ask yourself when you really need him in an unknown place, whether he will pick you up from afar or something. It's like a dishonest taxi driver! And there's no way to fix it -- if my husband misses the really penultimate and final turn to my grandmother's house, he'll still tell him to drive several blocks through her FIELD. NOT

I finally gave up my tom-tom. The long satellite acquisition times, even with the weekly downloading of satellite positions and the habit of resetting when approaching a target, prompted me to purchase another Garmin. The previous Garmin 1450 didn't work well, but I decided to give Garmin another try. I'm glad I did. Nuvi 2497 LMT works very well. Acquired quickly. It took less than a few minutes out of the box and with daily use is typically acquired in less than 30 seconds. It is even bought…

For the money this is the perfect little GPS unit. Garmin GPS systems. I told them to anyone who would listen. The 360 has served me well for many years and was still in excellent condition when I decided to buy a new unit. Why did I want to get a new one when the 360 still worked? I had several criteria. 1) better satellite reception 2) slightly wider screen for my aging eyes 3) lifetime maps (my old nüvi was aging and didn't have free map updates) 4) VOICE ACTIVATION To be honest the voice…
