Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Garmin has improved its GPS lineup with its 2013 models, specifically the Garmin nüvi 2557LMT model one of Garmin's Advanced series. I owned one of the Prestige series from last year and was pleased with its features. I was curious to see what Garmin had done to improve its models for 2013. Here are some of them: 1) New graphic interface makes it easier to read 2) Brighter display and its 2400x models which it replaced. 3) Better solid connection to suction cup/friction mount If you wanted a bright display last year, you needed to purchase one of the Prestige series models. This year you get a brighter display with the lower Advanced series that was not available last year. Pricing was a key concern. My previous Garmin was the 3550LT with offered most of the top model's features except voice recognition and Bluetooth for $30 less than the top model. This year, the only model available in the Prestige series is their top of the line for $379.99. So to purchase the nüvi 2557LMT for $219.99 seems quite a bargain when compared to last year's prices. If you're looking for a GPS loaded with features and a newer brighter interface, seriously consider the Garmin nüvi 2557LMT!
