I am looking at buying either the Dakota 20 or the etrex 20. I plan on using it for scouting in the woods, hunting, and hiking. I am not sure as to which one to get. They both have good reviews. So i was wondering which one you would suggest.
The Dakota has a touchscreen, which is nice, but I think the eTrex 20 is a bit sturdier,
Rich,
I cant decide between the Nuvi2595LMT or the Nuvi3790LMT. The only difference is thinness, 3-D buildings and maps,and screen size. I’m leaning towards the Nuvi3790LMT. Is that a good idea. I need to update from my garmin, i think the first one ever made. It dosent recoginze Canada. Also
need to down load Scottland and Ireland maps. What would you do?
Thanks, Ashley.
Personally, I’d go for the 2595LMT or 3490LMT, both of which have new features not found on the 3790 series, include more menu customization options and exit services. In some areas (Bluetooth and voice command) they may perform better than the 3790. This is especially true of the 2595LMT.
Another option is the 2475LT, which will include maps of Scotland and Ireland, but will not include lifetime map updates.
thanks for the help! 2595lmt is for me.
I am considering the garmin 2595LMT, but I read that a downside you were concerned with was that it did not have a powered mount. The garmin site shows that a powered mount is compatible with the 2595LMT (the 010-11271-03)- so I was a bit confused. Is the downside that I have to buy the mount separately? Or does it not work with the 2595LMT despite what I am seeing on the garmin website?
Thanks
Todd
That mount must be permanently wired into your car and it doesn’t work with the traffic receiver.
I am looking for a Garmin automobile navigator with the following two requirements:
-It must have a powered mount.
-It must be compatible with the Garmin Fleet Management Interface.
By any chance does anybody know what Garmin navigators are capable of BOTH of those things?
The dezl series is the only one in terms of the most recent releases. A relatively recent line would be the nuvi 24×0 and 23×0 series.
