Why I bought a Garmin Nuvi 2595LMT
Why I bought a Garmin Nuvi 2595LMT. I have owned many voice command systems in my car from both Magellan and Garmin. I use my gps in my car and in my truck when pulling my 5th wheel. I had a Magellan Maestro 4050 with voice command since 2008 and decided to look around for a new one with a few more bells and whistles. I spent a week solid reading reviews and was ready to buy a Nuvi 3490LMT but kept on reading about software issues and after trying on at BestBuy didn't see it worth $400 for a few additional features. With that in mind I looked back to Magellan Roadmaster 1700 and a 4700 and even the 5175 Traveller and just couldn't find one that had the features I wanted. So back to Garmin I looked and found out that The Nuvi 2595LMT had everything I like and needed and was $150 less than the NUVI 3490LMT. What I liked in the Nuvi 2595LMT 5" screen Voice Commands Speaks street names, turn by turn One button to save and name a location. Free map and traffic for life Highway Lane selection Highway Exit enhancement Highway speed for that highway Speed limit exceeded notice Pedestrian mode Can change icons and voices Has maps for most of Mexico Select multiple routes and not just one You can add coordinates in for a route which I use a lot. And the great price from Amazon which I have bought many items from and has a great return policy. I will turn off Bluetooth because I already have it in my car and truck stereo systems and to save battery when in pedestrian mode on battery. What I don't like Nothing yet about the unit. I hate users who write rviews before they read the manual and learn how to use their unit. Then complain how the unit doesn't do this or that and the unit does> All they have to do is take the time a read and learn. I'm sure I will get a lot of negitive remarks to my statement but it really bothers me when the problem is the human factor. With that said I almust add that yes firmware updates are always needed as minor bugs are found and what I see is Garmin in on top of this or they wouldn't be in business long.
