I got my new 2595LMT and after about an hour or so with it I decided to return it. I'm glad I ordered from Wal Mart as they are so good about returning "Site to Store" items with instant refund.
I'm going to stick with the 1490T it'll route and do just about everything near as good as the 2595. I don't like the small print,the smaller keys,and fine the dashboard info dosn't show like the T.
I'll be ordering another T as mine is getting tired from lot's of banging around and use. |

| Good call, I too am sticking with my 1490. TBH none of the newer nuvis seem to do any better than my 1490, not in the way I use it anyway. |

I posted in another thread that I don't get the new nuvi's. They must be designed by newer people that don't use them or haven't used the older ones.
With that said If the 2460 had regular routes like the old SP's or 1490T I'd buy it and try it because I like the idea of being able to put icons on the main menu. This is because the old SP's had rubber push buttons for ease of navigating back to main screen,find,etc. and searching for address's was easy and similar to the 2012's. Duh..Garmin. I'd take a Nuvi it if was a 2720SP with a 5in screen with traffic and junction views with shortcuts on the main screen.
With Nuvi's intro they made it harder to navigate and dumbed down the user customizing. Then Nuvi started to come back with "More Data" which I liked and putting shortcuts on the screen was good. But now it's back to square zero with the 2012 lineup. Even worse actually. It took me less then an hour while walking the dog around my dirt roads that the unit was going back. The T isn't perfect but at least it's easy to hit the keys for typing,text is larger,and has real routes not the frustrating trip planner everyone hates..plus other things. And as other's mentioned focusing on things like Audible books,MP3,etc. With IPods,phones who needs that stuff? I think they work deals with Audible and the like and that makes it worse for us. I have so many files on MS I'm afraid of switching brands and loosing this stuff. But I will start looking at other brands seeing Garmin has got way off base with alot of the true core of Road navigateing features we all liked.
Basically keep it easy to use while mounted in car,give more control back to user. |

| I believe set arrival lets you put in when you want to arrive at destination or via then it will give you an estimate on when you should leave. |

Hello everyone I am loooking at a Garmin 2495LMT. It seems to have almost everything for a GPS at $199. Is it a good buy? Slow map rendering hinders overall performance is this true?? I am also looking at Garmin 2595
Thanks
